Fads or trends that passed you or others by

I was never a New Romantic to any degree [late 70s-early 90s] despite being around numerous friends who succumbed to the trend.

Technological stages you may have skipped because you weren't in Asia: minidisc players and VCDs.

I've never seen any of the Lord Of The Rings franchise films.

I noticed that the thumb down for my OP appeared in less than 15 seconds after I posted it! Someone must be lurking, poised to click with their cursor!

The era when bitcoin started to develop. I think it was in the late 1990s, and was still busy focussing of family and property. Some of those guys who infested $500 are millionaires now, but like all fads it fizzled out.

Because I had no internet and no music magazines to read, I experienced the "Brit Pop" years in the mid-1990s as music only ~ good, bad, indifferent ~ without witnessing any of the hype and with no more information than what was provided by CD covers and booklets.

Now someone will say you are paranoid even though you are telling the truth about that, even I've noticed it going on. Here is one up. 😉

This has been observed many many times; sometimes I start a thread just to see how quickly Suzianne thumbs it down.

That wouldn't take her very long as soon as she has seen the post you get the thumbs down, I've noticed that too. She will as a rule comment right after it, although I probably shouldn't have let that out of the bag, but habits are hard to break. 🙂
