How on earth are you a trend setter by getting into it before others?


(Anonymous) 2013-08-25 10:10 pm (UTC)(link)
How on earth do you not understand what a trendsetter is?

(Anonymous) 2013-08-25 10:42 pm (UTC)(link)
Noun 1. trend-setter - someone who popularizes a new fashion

again, how on earth does the simple act of seeing it before someone else (and possibly mentioning it somewhere) make you a trendsetter?

(Anonymous) 2013-08-25 11:05 pm (UTC)(link)
Because trendsetter is generally used to refer to the person who was the first one into a particular thing. Whether they actually caused the popularity or not is irrelevant.

(Anonymous) 2013-08-25 11:55 pm (UTC)(link)
Clearly I need to rephrase my question to what illiterate part of earth are you on where trendsetting means being the first into something, but not actually setting a trend.

(Anonymous) 2013-08-25 11:06 pm (UTC)(link)
Dude, it's not a difficult concept. Even using the dictionay definition. They would be setting/starting trend of Teen Wolf secrets at least and possibly bringing new people to the show/fandom also. Stop trying to sound smart. It's having the opposite effect.

(Anonymous) 2013-08-25 11:53 pm (UTC)(link)
Making a secret is hardly trendsetting. Neither you nor the OP are being special trendsetters for liking something in the early stages and possibly making a secret

(Anonymous) 2013-08-26 12:23 am (UTC)(link)
I totally agree with you. The people replying to you above are being deliberately obtuse. Being the first person to like something doesn't make one a trendsetter. The trendsetters in this context would probably be people already well connected in other fandoms who started posting about how good Teen Wolf was and therefore got their friends into it. If the OP's hypothetical F!S sold the show well enough that might have changed things, but otherwise I wouldn't call that trendsetting.

ayrt

Utterly baffled at the two above me. What OP describes they had wished to do is not trendsetting. What the other anon's described is not trendsetting. You're not trendsetting. You're just a new fan, that's ok, but being in the first wave does not magically make you a trend setter unless you actually. set. a. trend. (be it reviews people listen to, fanart, fanfic, a meme that takes off and creates interest etc etc etc it has to be something that influences people into watching the show)

(Anonymous) 2013-08-26 03:26 pm (UTC)(link)
You act like secrets spawning a wave of secrets and people watching is drastically different from "a meme that takes off" but it's really, really not.
