^^^ Ohhhhhh.... "Sunny boys".... you made me so nostalgic 
Sorry to tell you though, that people still lighten their hair (it's all a form of peroxide, even tips/ highlights), most new cars still have cruise control, people still wear clothes - unfortunately - and alphaspaghetti still exists, although in a new RETRO form! (dinosaurs! or other creatures!)
.
But sunny boys.... *melts* ... I loved those.

^^ LOL... we did that too. I think we used numbers corresponding to letters of the alphabet (not terribly original).
What about invisible ink pens? Those were popular for a while too. Actually don't get me started on writing tools...
*glitter pens
*4-colour pens (click black, red, blue, green) - I actually had a TEN colour one too with pink, purple, all sorts of colours... it was huge
* Derwents
* Calligraphy pens
*pines for the days people actually wrote letters *

I mean seriously, if you aren't concealling a weapon or dealing drugs you should NEVER own a bumbag....

I see a bum bag and immediately think 'dealer' .. even if it's a 45 year old German tourist.
having your bumbag strapped 'across your chest' was certainly a ridiculous fad. especially when you were a try-hard grafitti artist/homeboy like i was.
was grafitti a ridiculous fad?
hmm, standing in the freezing cold with a can of paint is probably the last thing id want to do at 4am these days.
but it didnt really come 'in and out', which kinda defines a fad.

the iPod is a ridiculous fad also, might I add.
MP3 players have been around for the last 10 years, just because it's in "fashion" to have a sleek white one, doesn't mean it's not going to be finished with same time next year.

agreed, but if it helps keep apple from becoming a software only company then it's fine by me.

Did you guys ever sing this song in primary school?
I'll use the name kerry
Kerry Kerry bo berry
Banana fana fo ferry
Me Mi Mo merry
...Kerry.
I'd also like to add that i certainly dont think skateboarding is a "ridiculous fad"?? Considering it's been around since the 50's, if it is a fad, well, it's hung in there

SKATEBOARDING- dependoing how u look at it, it can be a fad. there are people who actually skate and its not a fad for them but i remember between yr 7 and 8 it went from one or 2 ppl who skated then suddenly 90% of the people in my year started to skate. then after a yr or so they all give up except for a couple. so actual skateboarding isnt a fad but the whole deal with evri1 starting at one time makes it one on some level. the same applies for surfing, body boarding etc.
another ridiculous fad is mopeds. heaps of ppl in my yr are spending 2 grand on mopeds when they could just wait 6 months and spend theyre money on a car. these dickheads also think they will get their money back, planning on selling them for $1800 or sumthin like that. twill never happen

Oh Jesus... I just thought of another one. And this one makes me REALLY MAD.
Miniature motorbikes. I don't know if you've seen them, but they're like kiddie versions of Harleys and so on, complete with engines and all ...only ridden by adults.
I'm certain they're not meant to be ridden on public roads, but at least THREE dumb fucks in their 20's-30's ride them around my local streets, getting in the way of cars and generally making a flat out nusiance of themselves. The other day I saw a posse of them standing around a local service station - about 10 or so guys with their weenie bikes, wearing leathers like they're some sort of Munchkin bikie gang.
Don't these people realise they look like fucking tools with their knees around their ears riding a tiny motorbike? Man... and I thought size mattered. :D

I'm not sure if it has been said, but mobile phones are a big fad. Like fucking huge, I got my first mobile when i was 14, my friends sister got her's when she was 11! Serisously, it's sad knowing that 11 year olds have mobile phones. Who are they going to call?
SMS very big fad. If people want to yell at people and they aren't in an ears distance they will abuse them by SMS.
Camera Phones It's The Autograph Of The 21st Century And if they aren't a fad, I don't know what is.
