Re: Do you follow trends?

(Anonymous) 2016-08-31 12:50 am (UTC)(link)
I try to, you know, just do my own thing, regardless of whether it's trendy or not. Although there are times when like... I'll get into something, or appreciate or like something, or whatever, and have it be just a thing that I happen to like for whatever reason. And then someone will point that thing out as being in some way trendy, and it feels... weird and inauthentic.

Like, even quite normal, mundane things - like, if it's some coffeeshop, and I like the way they do things, and I see some other places that are doing stuff similarly, and I'm like, "Oh, that's cool", and I go about my day, right? And then someone says, "Oh that kind of coffeeshop is really trendy." And it feels so strange because it's like, here I was thinking that I thought I liked for specific, everyday reasons. But clearly I was caught up in some larger wave - clearly there was some other phenomenon at work here, some other kind of explanation, that I missed, and I was deluded in the reasons that I thought I liked it. It's weird and insidious and it makes me feel weird.

Am I crazy for this?
