ELEMENTS THAT MAKE UP A TREND
Whether it’s memes, viral videos, catchphrases, or the latest design trends,
why do certain ideas or activities capture the public imagination? What define a trend
as opposed to a short-lived fad?
It is often difficult to spot the start of trends because they boil down to social
forces among which styles or tastes change. Once the changes have been shared and
adopted by a critical mass, they gain a footing, become firmly embedded in the public
psyche, and may even find themselves returning as part of a cyclical process.
ELEMENTS OF TRENDS
a. Duration of Time
The lifespan of products or ideas that become trends do not disappear
quickly. Trends have long staying power and enjoy a long period of time.
b. Acceptability
Trends are popularly accepted by many industries and people.
c. Cultural Basis
A trend is rooted on the people’s cultural traditions, beliefs, and values.
A trend persists and continues because people have seen it as part of a
society’s culture.
