It has not even reached the last three months of 2019 but something must be said about the trends that are plaguing current pop culture. Below are some of the things that are currently popular which is also stepping into the "omg please stop" zone.
90's/2000's Nostalgia
The 90's

Guys, I get that those were simpler and much better times, but the past is the past. Retro nostalgia was once cool but now it is becoming so common these days. I've always imagined how in the future what will define the 2010's. You wanna know what that answer is? The 90's. There's no room for originality or innovation, which leadds me to my second point...
Remakes and Reboots
Fuller House, a modern Full House spinoff on Netflix

ENOUGH. there's a good 60% chance that your favorite childhood show will be making a comeback with either new characters or the same characters in a modern spin-off. It's almost as if original content is not mind blowing enough. Even when the remakes come into fruition, they're never as good as the original show or movie. Most of the time these concepts aren't well received, it is literally just held afloat from the initial hype from the public.
Chunky Shoes
The infamous Balenciaga sneakers.

Complimenting the likes of 90s nostalgia is the influx of big shoes seen on literally every living thing with a pulse. This was nice for the summer time but honestly this is not meant to have any longevity, let alone continuing in the fall. These shoes are just waiting to embarrass you years later when you look at old photos.
Subscriptions Galore

At first there was Netflix, then slowly behind came Hulu. The subscription fad then took over the music scene with Apple and Spotify. Now, with every corner you turn and every site you click on there's for sure a subscription service. HBO, Showtime, Amazon... even YOUTUBE has a paid subscription service. Where do these people think we're getting all this money from?
Donald Trump

I literally can just leave it at here... and that concludes this post.
Superhero Movies

Please give these a rest. If you're someone who's not into these, like me, I'm sure everything just seems like a new movie with the same concept comes out every month. Superhero movies are just a cluster of explosions, machines, shots firing, and cars burning out as loud as they can. From the infinite storylines and plot twists my friends try explaining to me, I think I will be okay if I miss out on all the hype.
