\nFashionably Late: 10 Dead Trends…in one graveyard
\n <\/p><\/blockquote>\n
No. 1 SCENE<\/h3>\n
Here Lieth the Post-Emo Party Kids
\nRIP to the scene girl with the rainbow-coloured muppet hair \u00e0 la
\nTaylor Momsen who listened to Broken Carolina on her Hello Kitty
\nearphones while taking duckface selfies. She died of alcohol poisoning
\nat the tender age of 16 when MTV cancelled \u201cMy Life as Liz\u201d
\nand CYDE split.<\/p>\n
No. 2 SPROUTCORE<\/h3>\n
Here Lieth the Adorable Chinese Plant-Wearer
\nOkay, so sproutcore was only briefly popular in China during 2015,
\nbut its passing will be mourned nonetheless. This craze involved
\nyoung women wearing plastic plants (not just sprouts, but peppers
\nand ferns) on their heads, and gripped Chinese youths for an epic six
\nweeks \u2013 perhaps someone forgot to water it.<\/p>\n
No. 3 SOFT GRUNGE<\/h3>\n
Here Lieth the Soft-Hued Tumblr Teen
\nSoft grunge (aka pastel goth) was admittedly never a big trend, and
\nno one\u2019s even completely certain that it\u2019s over. Primarily an online
\nfad, there were lots of permutations, so a precise definition is hard
\nto articulate. Mostly it was just teenagers dressing like Kurt Cobain
\nand re-blogging Kate Bush GIFs to seem edgy.<\/p>\n
No. 4 SEAPUNK<\/h3>\n
Here Lieth the Hipster Hoodwinker
\nAs another internet creation, Seapunk\u2019s origin is uncertain. Was it an
\nironic joke? No one knows, but some people bought into it anyway.
\nStaple looks included turquoise hair, neon wardrobes, and clothes
\nand jewellery featuring yin-yangs and ankhs. In short, it was like
\nNew Age spiritualism for Gen Y\u2019ers who lacked the guts to drop acid
\nand marry their Hacky Sacks.

No. 5 WITCH HOUSE<\/h3>\n
Here Lieth the Crunk Creepster
\nFarewell to W\u2021\u2020CH HA\u00da\u0161? haunted house or drag, a sub-subgenre
\nthat burned at the stake five years ago after miserably trying
\nto appropriate trap music into hipster sludge-metal. Typically, witch
\nhouse kids wore all black everything, had Myspace handles like like
\n\u2020SATANIC F\u00a4CK\u2020 and claimed to have seen Salem at SXSW in
\n2010 \u2013 by which point it was already over anyway.<\/p>\n
No. 6 NORMCORE<\/h3>\n
Here Lieth the Most Basic
\nThe boring-est of fads became an international news item when
\nK-Hole, the art-collective-cum-trend-forecasting-company released
\n\u201cYouth Mode: A Report on Freedom\u201d, in which they lionised being
\n\u2018basic\u2019, blankness and conforming. Drink that Dunkin\u2019 Donuts coffee,
\nthey said, because it\u2019s what a normie would do. Then it died of
\nboredom, and everyone went back to be an individual.<\/p>\n
No. 7 VAPORWAVE<\/h3>\n
Here Lieth the 8-Bit Chillers
\n\u201cIs Vaporwave the Next Seapunk?\u201d asked Vice in a 2013 article that
\nsimultaneously marked the movement\u2019s cultural ascension as well
\nas its death from overexposure. For the unfamiliar, James Ferraro\u2019s
\n2011 album \u201cFar Side Virtual\u201d was the apotheosis of the genre, and
\nsounded like someone had looped the Windows 95 start-up theme
\nonto a cassette. Extremely cool.<\/p>\n
No. 8 STEAMPUNK<\/h3>\n
Here Lieth the Victorian Cybernetic Cowboy
\nThere are a lot of steampunks out there who might take issue with
\nsomeone claiming that their community is washed up. They might
\nlook down through their bronze goggles and grab you with their
\nmechanical arm before blasting you with their blunderbuss. Then
\nAmanda Palmer might play a punk cabaret industrial song. So maybe
\nsteampunk isn\u2019t dead, but perhaps it should be.

<\/p>\n
No. 9 HEALTH GOTH<\/h3>\n
Here Lieth the Sporty Posthumanists
\nTraced back to three artists from Portland who started a Facebook
\ncommunity in 2013, the health goth trend was defined by cybernetic
\naesthetics: black-and-white sports bras with Nike and Smart Water
\nlogos; Japanese script; monochromatic contact lenses, and platform
\nshoes. For a while it was going strong, but the wheels fell off around
\n2014 when The New York Times claimed Jessie J as one of its chief
\ninfluences, and everyone realised they were right.<\/p>\n
No. 10 SADGIRL<\/h3>\n
Here Lieth the Teary-Eyed Dissenters
\nThere\u2019s something comforting about wallowing in sadness. And then
\nthere\u2019s taking it to another level, where suicidal becomes chic, crying
\nfaces are the emoji of choice, cigarettes are a necessity, and teardrops
\nare part of the make-up routine. Lana Del Rey\u2019s song \u201cSad Girl\u201d was
\nits anthem, and artist Audrey Wollen was its tragic queen. We\u2019ll miss
\nyou, Sad Girls Club \u2013 RIP :\u2019(
