We all enjoy a good trend (fad), and when a bad (or annoying) one pops up, many people just roll their eyes. We asked our listening and reading audience throughout Washington what trends they’re glad that’s over. We have the top results below.
Thanks, Social Media!
Thanks to the world of social media, trends come and go just like months of the year. Some trends are great and do amazing things, like the “Ice Bucket Challenge,” which did some amazing stuff by raising funds for ALS research.

Then there are some trends that are good and bad, like the whole “Planking” trend. That type of exercise can be good for the body, but filming it and doing it in weird places… that can be a little troublesome.
“What’s a ‘trend’ you’re glad is over?”
That’s the question we asked our audience, and some of the answers focused on social media trends, others were more general, and a few were “very personal”. Here is the best of the best.
