Pokémon, Magic: The Gathering, and WoW (but I'm cured and sane now) were somewhat less-than-healthy obsessions for me at some point. I also openly admit to liking House.

And I guess I dress and act like I still can't believe this new single "Smells Like Teen Spirit" came out, but that fad's long dead, so I don't consider myself part of the mainstream on this one.

i hate anything that becomes popular so i naturally stay away from fads. its how i am built. Im repulsed by anything that is so popular that everyone talks about it. Video games are the exceptions but gaming isnt a fad...thank god.

that whole 90's "kids with pet monsters" fad that the Japanese designed to use American children to bleed their parents dry in retribution for the A-bomb.

I was into video games when they were just fad. That was before they changed into a 'hobby'. I've been in to many fads, I'm sure many of us have. The real question is 'did you ever get in to a fad just because it was a fad?'

I was into Pokemon of course(although to this day I still dont know how to play the real game), Yu-gi-ho, beanie babies, and those livestrong bracelets. I had them up to my elbow.

I seem to get into the fad late. Escpecially with music, like one song will be greatly popular for a month, then the second it becomes unpopular and strangly hated i will find out about it and love it.

Yeah im weird.

Those Beyblade things from like 5 years ago, but I'm not sure if they were fads though.

Oh and Yugioh cards, man i remember that hobby store that would sell boosters for cheap with tournaments every week. Good times.

That's about it i guess.

Hell yes I have. Back in the 80's and early 90's there wasn't a decent cartoon that didn't come with the full on fad train. I was ALL ABOUT some fucking He-man, some fucking ninja turtles. Those were good times. Also, I used to wear the red Michael Jackson Beat it jacket to school and was a HUGE vanilla ice fan.

Interestingly, my brain chose to retain most of Ice Ice Baby over the years. All the awesome things from my childhood and I retained that. Well, it's a conversation piece, knowing that.

The one thing that pisses me off about fads is when you do the fad before it became a fad and then when it becomes a fad everyone says you did it because it was a fad. I was watching anime before everyone else in my community and then when it became popular everyone is the expert from seeing one episode.
