we all need a hipster moment once in a while, what's a trend you were ahead of the curve on (and are maybe secretly proud of yourself for)?
for me, the big one i can think of right now is i had the primitive version of those rope lights every tiktok user has now back in 2017.... they didn't change color, they were bright green tho. picture from 2017:

i stayed home by myself all the time and never went outside before social distancing was cool
I've never been hip enough to know much about trends, but I was a big fan of Bastille before Pompeii ever hit the radio. I don't believe in being exclusionary in a fanbase, especially for something as silly has whether you're a new fan or an old one, but it does secretly feel kind of nice to have known them before they got so big. Like I had some secret knowledge or something.

Oh god I'm not cool at all. The only thing I can think of is my friends and I played Among Us and Discord chatted before the Twitch and YouTube people took over.

I started multiple smaller trends in my school I think.
I shaved my hair like skrillex? 3 months later everybody shaved their heads like skrillex. I start wearing a leather jacket every day? same thing. I start bringing a half gallon of chocolate milk with me every day? Suddenly everyone else also has choccy milk jugs.

I primarily wore leggings in middle school and everyone made fun of me for it. Fast forward a few years, and those same people were now wearing them. (I don’t hardly wear leggings anymore.)

Hunger Games. I read it right after it was published, ‘cause my school librarian had gone to a conference where people were speculating that it would be the next big thing - “like, Harry Potter or Twilight big”. So she immediately got a copy for the school library and insisted I read it. It took a while before I started seeing fansites or people talking about it, and years until it was going to become a movie and the general public started talking about it.
Also I suppose Warriors since I’ve been around since the 4th book.

I had a Facebook before most others in my middle school did and everyone made fun of me for it for some dumb reason being all "Fb is only for old people" and then like a year and a half later Facebook blows up and everyone has one

Well, when I was in 6th grade, I was sitting at my table playing Santa Tracker games, and this nosy kid walks by and he's like: "What are you playing?" So I tell him, and the next thing I know, almost every 6th grader was playing Santa Tracker. It was the same with Quick Draw. These weren't exactly worldwide trends, but they sure were trends at my school.
Oh, and I collected silly bands when I was little, but that trend is so forgotten it has become the Hollytuft of trends. Who is Hollytuft? What is Hollytuft? When is Hollytuft? Why is Hollytuft? Where is Hollytuft? How is Hollytuft?

I mean, I started reading Warriors in 2005. It was pretty popular by that point, but it didn't really explode until 2007-2008.

Unless being obsessed with birds suddenly becomes the latest new trend, I can’t think of anything

I usually stay outside of trends so idk
I think I remember a time where Music.ly, musicly, Music.li? Wasn't really that popular, then it blew up and lost it's fame when Tic Tok started it's cult.
Possibility Fidget Spinners as well? I just know I wanted one before it blew up. I never asked my parents for one cause I thought they would make fun of me

My family and I were big fans of Avatar: The Last Airbender from the beginning, before all the people who discovered it via Netflix flooded in this year cx
That’s it for me, but maybe someday the rest of society will finally realize what amazing pets rats are compared to them nippy hamsters ;u;

So... you were around in prehistoric times? Because humans have been drinking alone at home pretty much since drinks have existed, lol.

Fake lashes I will give my credit to the latinos and black girls. They probably started it first But I was always wearing fake lashes in early high school and everyone made fun of them Cus they were big now everybody asking me where to buy them and wow they’re so fluffy like shut up Rebecca you didn’t like them a year ago Also coloured hair. Mfs bullied me to the point I dyed my hair back brown after having red, pink, orange, cyan, blue, dark blue, purple, fuscia etc hair and now tik tok prep girls r bleaching half their head red other half natural like sis I did that grade 8 and y’all bullied me
