I agree, this seems to be one of the many stupid/idiotic influences of "hip-hop rappers"
Exhibit A as shown below, shows the distortion of the baseball cap:
That said, I cannot stand hip-hop and rap as the genre continues to distort the English language.

+1 on saggy pants.
Oh and ear gauging. Yuck. I just imagine these guys in 10-15 years.

I'll see your Affliction shirts and raise you the equally hideous Ed Hardy shirts.

The trend that makes acting like a stupid drug addict sex fiend cool
The word islamophobia
New age Wicca, it's going around my school, and it is so annoying.
Emos and goths
Melodramatic girls who claim to cut themselves but don't. Do it or shut your mouth!
Converse plad shoes on guys, I just think it looks odd.
Intelligent design.
That about covers it.

I see those damn things all around my high school and they bug the **** out of me. For some reason they've become really popular with the "fake gay" crowd, in their attempts to be fashionable.
Now that I think about it, the "fake gay" trend is really bugging me as a legitimately gay person. I'm so tired of these emo d-bags in my school going around pretending to be gay so that they can get in with the popular girls and then eventually get laid by them.
I also hate the skater douche trend. Although this kind of ties in with the emo/fake gay/skinny jean/Ed Hardy Shirt/plaid converses trend.

Piercing and tattoos on girls. May they cease and desist. It's getting so I don't even bother looking at any female under the age of thirty anymore because I know -- I just know -- she's going to have a hoop through her eyebrow or a stud through her lip or a tramp-stamp on her back just above her waist. Listen, sweetie, having Chinese characters above your buttcrack doesn't make you spiritual. For all you know, it says "And with three you get egg-roll."
FAke gay trend? We don't have that at my school. In my area, those kids would probably be physically harmed(I don't support this sort of thing for the record).
There is no skater trend at my school either. I always thought that that was an 80's thing.
We have emos that grow their hair long, wear black occult clothing, and draw weird pictures.
when I was in middle school, I remember the trends of being a skater as well as being like a devout fan of marilyn manson
Concerning the "fake gay trend", I will say when I was in hs (graduated in 03), I only knew of one person who was gay. Since then, I have learned of many others that have since come out as it is becoming more acceptable, including one of my closest friends

I live in a fairly small suburban town, that's very close to a major college town. Only a few years ago my town was very hostile towards gay people. A lot of that had to do with the strong catholic population, if you have to ask me why. Things started to get better last summer, for multiple reasons:
1) A Gay-Straight Alliance was started at my school, and those in it were/are quite vocal. There was even an attempt to include gay students in the district anti-discrimination policy that failed and it's failure resulted in a former board member and civil rights attorney being drafted by students to run for the board as a write-in candidate (I actually was her campaign manager), but that was a huge thing in the town.
2) As a result of the GSA and that whole deal, people have basically learned that the whole being a jerk to the gay kids thing wasn't going to fly anymore, because we gay kids weren't just going to sit back and take it anymore.
3) A new and much more accepting priest basically told everyone at the town's catholic church that if he would bar anyone who harassed gay residents of the town (especially teens) from the church, and he actually followed through on that threat by having the police show up and threaten to arrest those people for trespassing.
4) Finally the massive amount of teen suicides last year led to the yuppies in the town being vocal about political correctness. Not exactly how I wanted more acceptance of gays in my town to come about, but it has kind of worked.
So those are some of the reasons that this whole "fake gay" trend has started up this year. I'm honestly starting to wish I hadn't been involved in the formation of the GSA because of them. They literally show up to the GSA meetings with their "fag-hags" (women who hang out with "gay" men) and then ask us when we're going to talk about "fashion and gay stuff like that." in a fake stereotypical lisp. According to my BF, I actually turn brick red and grind my teeth so loudly that you can hear it across the room when they "fake gays" show up, although I don't realize it. So they really do bother me a lot, especially considering that some of them are the same people who told me that I better watch my "fag-hole" in the locker room a few years ago when I first came out.
As for the emo/skater trends:
In my school when I was a freshman, we had the emo/goths (long hair, cuttters, depressing pictures, poetry about death, etc.). Over the past year and a half they've turned into the skaters crowd. We no longer have many goths (only one or two in a school of 2,200), but we have a crapload of the skaters in their skinny jeans, Ed Hardy shirts, 2 sizes too small plaid button downs, and converse slip-ons, oh and lets not forget the greasy (as in not washed in a week) long straightened hair.

Skinny jeans can look good.......on skinny people.
They fit those people.Oh, and on several occasions, I saw fat, short guys wear wearing pointy boots. They looked like fat little Xmas elves.
Ewwww......I hate you too. *shows thejadedmonkey to the door*
If I was, I'd be all over the big BAN button.
No offence, rdowns.

Two things kind of bug me.
The aforementioned stickers on hats and also the pants down below the crotch. Why do teenage boys wear pants that go below their waist to a degree that they cannot even walk.
Not only are they butt ugly, but with all that fur, they must smell like, well, butts.

This, this one thousand times. I have an Uncle whom without exaggeration checks his face book EVERY TIME he comes to a stop light. I personally don't use Facebook at all anymore. It's so liberating.
Living in Colorado I can sympathize. It's not that they're ugly (they are), it's that people where them all year round. Hello, they're winter boots essentially and yes, even in Colorado, you look stupid wearing them in the Spring and Summer. I don't think girls understand how much of a turn off Uggs are. You may as well be smoking.
Affliction anything.
That said, I'm in total agreement with most everything else here but I do love my ugg boots. Being a rather unattractive girl though, I use uggs for warmth. I don't wear them over my jeans, with shorts or skirts and they're in the closet at least 8 months out of the year.
Another is the ear lobe stretching thing. I don't get what they're doing there.
