I was reminded of something today: adults who make the sad trombone sound whenever something goes wrong isn't clever or cute. If something goes wrong, I'd rather you curse up a storm than do that Sesame Street stuff.

The something dramatic happens so we have to play a Bweeerp sound after it and fade to black. US movies and shows are full of this and I never understood why. Poverty Porn TV shows this might be a UK thing but in the past few years they is so many shows just filming real jobless people trying to find jobs and in none of them they are even trying to help them out.They all have clickbaity names like Benefits Street and 5 kids and on Benefits.Then there's all the filming company's taking people stuff away because they can't pay for it shows. All the TV Shows sponsored and Adverts for Online Casinos and Bingo Sites. They all are advertised the same with some middle aged people all in cafes on Tablets and Phones playing them. You never see anyone in real life ever doing this and with Bingo all the real life Bingo centers are just used by old people which makes the online version more popular more confusing. That's depressing as fuck.

I think it started with Inception. It's been like nine years since then. >.< I wonder what the next trend to rip off will be. Oh no, it's only been 7 years since Inception. Oh, okay.

I'm guilty of doing this sometimes but I guess I shouldn't surprised that some people would find it annoying. Is saying corny/badly voiced video game lines and thinking they're always 100% funny still a thing?

Only Brave Fencer Musashi is funny. Everything else is garbage.

I used to quote The Simpsons all the time, but I eventually stopped doing that because I could tell people either didn't get them or were annoyed by it. Plus I also realized that I was interacting more and more with younger people who didn't grow up watching it like I did.

I don't make the "wah wah" trombone but I have all sorts of different sounds for every occasion. I'm more guilty of saying "hold on" (not just as inconvenience but out of being flustered or panic) to others it became a catch phrase.
Not really a trend I am tired of is a lot of emoji merchandise out there. It became more apparent when I went to 5 Below today. It's a dollar store for younger and/or millennial customers.

I've noticed lately I kind of have a habit of saying "awww" whenever someone I know messes something up, or forgets something or whatnot. I didn't really think about it until one day, when my older sister told me that she thinks it comes off as condescending when I do it too often. >_>

Why would a Dollar store be catering stuff like that to just over 20's? That and emoticons are rather hard to copyright in design. One trend i do not get is company's making Remote controlled things requiring Apps to work. It's a problem because they need certain models versions to work and the whole mobile market things just disappear or stop working on purpose every system update. Yet you get Toy company's constantly doing this who can't even keep a webpage up for their own products 6 months after launch.

For another perfect example of how far things have fallen here's the theme for the 1971 Italian "mondo" exploitation movie about slavery called Goodbye Uncle Tom that I watched a few months back and has been stuck in my head since, that's pretty sad when a sleazy exploitation movie about slavery has a catchier theme song than anything I've heard from the last 15 years. There's also this surprisingly beautiful vocal track from the same movie. Again, when a sleazy Italian exploitation flick from the 70s has more memorable music than most mainstream movies today, that says something. It's actually a very common thing with low-effort Italian movies from the 60s and 70s - they almost always have amazing soundtracks, even if the movie itself is crap. Hell, Enio Morricone is considered one of the all-time greats, and he scored 100s of movies, some of which were awful. They just had a great group of composers and gave them creative freedom rather than Hollywood's "make it sound rousing! Rousing!" bullshit.

Only Brave Fencer Musashi is funny. Everything else is garbage. Sunset Riders on the SNES has some of the "greatest" voiced dialogue. My favorite scene is right after you beat Chief Wigwam in the SNES version, and a young woman comes running. "Please, don't shoot my brother! He is only following orders." "Alright ma'am, we won't shoot him." *victory pose* "YIIIIPPEEE!"

Dudes wearing tight-ass jeans and pants. And thinking they're gangsta.
You ain't gangsta if your trousers look like they've been airbrushed directly on to the skin. Where do they put their pistols, certainly can't conceal anything with that skinny shit on. I can only imagine trying to fit into that nonsense and looking in a mirror.
And then they kick a super-sag with they whole underwear and ass hanging out. Waddling like penguins when they walk. If they bought pants that fit, there wouldn't be a need for a sag.
The feminization of hiphop needs to stop. Tight pants and Urkel shirts have no place. Baggy-pants-for-life.

Sexual harassment. I guess you could call that a trend, right?
