Trends White Flag

You know a hip trend is dying when a Forty-Something from the Burbs starts using it.

Fo' shizzle.

Don't feel bad, I got all excited about a new rap video I saw and downloaded the song right away. Keeping hip ya know. Come to find out that the song is an old one from 2007. And I'm 30 something :) LOL

Lol!
I used to tell when phrases were no loner cool when the tweens I nannied for would start saying them. They were billionaire trust fund babies at an uber expensive private school. Yup, if stuff got down to them, it was time to stop using it!

My mom recently asked me who sings that awesome new song they keep playing on the radio. You know, the one that goes, "LOVE SHACK, LOVE SHACK BABY!"

I was like, you mean the B52s? The song that came out in 1979?

Yep, that's the song.

What station are you listening to, Mom?

lol... oh that's not always true!!! lol Depends on the trend though! My mom started using "talk to the hand" about 4 years after it started and about 3 years after it died. She was SO excited about learning such a "sassy comeback"! ;) But my mom is special- I call her Jessica (as in Simpson!)- she means well.... but she's out of the loop a little!

The ugg-boot and skirt combo used to drive me crazy (WHAT WEATHER CALLS FOR THAT?). When I saw it on a middle-aged woman in Virginia, I nearly wept.
