Fad Over?
Cutting.
It was very popular fad for a long while. Now? It just seems to have faded away, in my opinion.
The whole “purpose” of cutting was to substitute emotional pain with real, physical pain. I always thought this practice was completely idiotic, and I’ve had some close friends do it regularly. There used to be a time where I could see a slashed up arm at least once a week at my high school, but now, with the death of “emo-maina”, this grotesque practice has become non-existent, at least to my knowledge.
This got me to thinking, however. When does a “fad” become old or dead? What constitutes this? I say when people find a new fad to move on to, but that’s just my opinion. What do you think?
