Trend setters of thought.

There was a time when all ‘al ov us rote lyk dis’ it gradually changed ‘2 callin each Oder uh and meh’ and finally we ‘write and type like this’. The most important question that circulates in my mind is that, how a trend stereotypes everybody and how one persons has the ability to set a trend

Old is new- a tautology or antithesis is a question mark for me.  Well it might sound strange but I opt for tautology, and perception wise I might as well be right. See, according to me trends were set since man evolved. But they were modified. Nothing is new. Everything is modified. And modification is the key to excellence and understanding. In the same way today’s youth has suddenly started respecting the English language and modified them to use it the classy suave way.  But why does a trend stereotype the society? Has today’s youth suddenly sunk down to a point where ones excellence is deliberate in percentage or marks? Not his practical ability to think? Has today’s youth started following the trend of 100% marks which has suddenly become a joke? Has by-hearting overruled us that it compels us to think? Why do trends tend to modify our mind? Trends are just there. They are not to be followed every time. For me as of now, the one who doesn’t get stereotyped is a literal hero! Trends which make sense like using English properly is modifying. But following a trend which says you can change your boyfriend/girlfriend every week is misleading.

Now my point of writing this is, I suddenly last night had this vague ideology. Trendsetters seem to be politicians which coax people to like them. Their trend is good to know about but not to follow always. Their work is not always good, and meant to take certain revenge. Their basic reason to set a trend is to make a few people or person believe that what they did was right and for proof so many people are doing the same thing.

Its time we stop getting into the vicious circle of following trends. Start thinking. Become practical. Do what we want to, not what everybody else is. If ‘those’ jeans don’t look good on you but you wear them just because you want to look fashionable, don’t! Advertisements are like the parliament of setting trends and trust me they are the ones who spread the phenomena of stereotyping.

We are the youth. We all can’t have the same line of thought. We have to have minds which have the ability to confront and criticize. We need to think differently. Less materialistically.  Not follow to look good. Build up or personal self. Follow what is right and criticize what is wrong. Lets be individuals and not  protestants of one persons thought. Lets be a union not a crowd. Lets talk not abuse. Lets argue not fight. lets lead not follow. Lets become trendsetters of thought.
