Now, first, whut is a faddict?
Faddict (fah-dict)
-a person who is addicted to following fads;
-someone who is super trendy. Like, SUPER trendy
For some people who don't know, a fad is basically the trend of the moment. Then, the world moves on to the next awesome movie/book/song/meme and you are forgotten. Just think of Price Tag. Or Percy Jackson. Or Twilight. Or the death of Michael Jackson. ._.
I really don't like fads, mainly because of the way faddicts act around you when you haven't checked the fad out.
Like, when the Hunger Games movie showed up. Let me tell you that, before the movie, I've never heard of Hunger Games. Because nobody I knew talked about it, and nobody I knew read it (or so I thought >.>). When the movie shows, boom. Suddenly all your friends have read the book. Suddenly your classmates all say the book is great. Suddenly your best friends start worshiping Suzanne Collins. Suddenly your cousins listen to "Safe and Sound" until you want to stay away from Taylor Swift forever.
And of course, poor little me - who hasn't watched the movie, read the book, or listened to "Safe and Sound" until recently (when, surprise, the world was rocking to "Gangnam Style") - felt as obsolete as a VHS among CDs. (I bet none of you even know what a VHS is >3<)
Sadly, since I don't watch movies much (my belief is, "Why spend a thousand pesos to watch a movie that you can watch in HBO - for fudging FREE - a few months later? -.-") or listen to music a lot, I almost always have to put up with mah faddict friends. And putting up with faddicts suck, I tell you.
It reeks when people go:
"Hai kidZ, you want to meet up at KFC?"
"Okai, sure!"
*when suddenly, as we're eating chicken, a song plays*
"OH GLOB! :D ♪EEEEH! SEXY LADY! OP-OP-OP-OP, OPPA GANGNAM STYLE!♪"
"*worried my friend has gotten possessed* Hey what are you singing?"
"Gangnam Style"
"Wha's that? o.O"
"LOL, do you live in a rock or something?"
...
I mean, ask me all the fad songs I remember. (This is more or less in order .3.) Hawak Kamay, Love Story, You Belong to Me, Nobody Nobody but You, Billionaire, Teach Me How to Dougie, Price Tag, Call Me Maybe, Gangnam Style. I'm sure you know most of these >_>
So anyway, moral of this post: Hanging out with faddicts...suck.
:D
Peace out.
We are so alike. And yes, I know what a VHS is...
