fashion, trend, passing style; craze
Fads and trends
A fad refers to a
fashion that becomes popular in a
culture relatively quickly, but loses popularity dramatically. Some fads may come back if another generation finds out about it and gets interested in it. For example
Dayglo paint was a fad in the
USA the late
1970s. Then Dayglo accessories and clothes (such as cycling shorts and Dayglo socks) had a comeback in
1984–
1989. It is arguable that a fad that remains popular for a significant amount of time typically loses its significance in current
popular culture as it evolves and becomes accepted into a society's everyday culture as trends (e.g.
television,
Internet,
music,
video games and
dances).
