I think he means in the context of not following fads specifically because other people do. Food and shelter have been around long before society, so to call those things a fad makes you a liar/square.

DAVE101 is right. I was saying I'll do something regardless of it being a fad or not if I enjoy it or not. It doesn't matter to me what other people think of it. I can still like Final Fantasy 7 and also despise the fandom.

As opposed to DDR or unicycling which are any less stupid? Life is all about being into ridiculous stuff. Sure, 95% of memes are dumb/uncreative, but you never know when some fad changes your life.

Isn't love stupid?
Are people doing icing/coning/planking/etc. having fun? Yeah. Do I think their method of having fun is stupid? Certainly. Is them realizing how stupid it is what's making it fun? Most probably.

In other words, by me saying how stupid it is I'm actually making it more fun for people doing said stupid things.

So even though I realize that my disapproval for these things only fosters them, I still think they're dumb.

How many hipsters does it take to screw in a lightbulb?

It's a pretty obscure number, you probably haven't heard of it.
I really love CS:GO's 64 tick servers.

I hope acting retarded gets me a lot of attention because I crave it and have no other way of getting it.

"The blog is for a lot of different places online and I'm trying to show things that other people will like. For example,I don't really care for Vocaloid, but I'll post pics of miku and crap to appeal to them. I post ponies so bronies can see it."

I wish my camera was a higher quality. That place was truly beautiful.
