Some trends are better off left in the past. We found some old, washed up trends from r/AskReddit that we hope will never make a come back.

1
Being raided by a horde of Mongols. That must have sucked. Except for... Wait for it... The Mongols! -u/SluggishPrey

5
The Spanish Inquisition. -u/im-your-dad-sooo
6
Swatting. I've only heard of one case this year. Hopefully, the repercussions prevent anyone from ever making a fake call to any emergency service. -u/ModeratelyAmateur

A few months ago, one of the biggest streamers on twitch, XQC, was forced to move from his own bought house to a different location because the swatting was so frequent. I can't imagine the stress caused by this and the feeling of leaving your newly bought home.

Thankfully, he said the SWAT team was kinda chill and after a few times they knew it was going to be a fake, so every time they just did a routine check-up around the house.
7
Fake "social experiment" prank videos -u/YodasChick-O-Stick

They have actually evolved into fake anything videos.

8
Where they lick foods at supermarkets and not get caught. -u/X275S
9
Bros greeting each other with a backhand to the sack. -u/SourFix
10
Where they lick foods at supermarkets and not get caught. -u/X275S

I can't believe that was a trend

11
Witch burning. -u/JLD1981

Yeah... the pandemic made me realise a lot of things. Good people can become monsters when they view others as threats
12
Working from the office every day. -u/NerimaJoe
13
Ed Hardy clothing. Remember when everyone would wear Ed Hardy everything...... -u/Sea-Horror-814

And Von Dutch hats.

14
I really hope the cinnamon challenge doesn't come around again...-u/tea-vs-coffee
15
Boys wearing pants below their boxers. Used to be some kids at school that wore them as low as their knees... Took forever for them to waddle to class. -u/siyl1979
16
The book burning trend. It it usually just a step away from burning people. -u/mvrk3
