As unbelievable as it may sound, I'm actually someone who doesn't keep up on the latest trends. Whether it's fashion, make-up, food, movies, etc., I just always seem to be hesitant to ride the "trend train" or "follow the crowd". As someone who's often exposed in social media, I admit it is kind of odd that I wouldn't normally follow the current hypes of everyone else in the platforms. Maybe it is just me wanting to be 'cool' in a way. But honestly, I just don't like it when people over-hype things, ESPECIALLY on the internet. The words: viral and trending doesn't mean what they used to anymore, at least in my personal opinion. 

Nowadays, people try to make EVERYTHING trending; it's basically an indicator and an effective marketing tool to be well-known. If I was someone who'd always follow up on trends, I'd feel like I was lying to myself. I'm basically trying to be someone I'm not at that point. Here are some of the things that went viral or trending in the past few years that I didn't hop-on with right away (or ever): Frozen, Bird Box, K-Pop, K-Drama, Migos, Billie Eilish, and big bulky dad shoes like Balenciagas... until recently.
