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.
There’s no magic involved. According to Henrik Vejlgaard, the author of
Anatomy of a Trend: “There is nothing mysterious about it and it never just happens
out of the blue; though it may sometimes appear to be so. That it is a social process
means it’s created by human beings.
A trend becomes a trend through a constant cycle of innovation and
emulation. It’s the way people embrace one another and interact with one another.
People are obsessed with trends because joining a trend means your part of a group;
you are in, you belong.
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.
d. Transitory Increase or Decrease
A trend shows a transitory increase or decrease of a particular idea,
event or phenomenon.
e. Driver, Enabler, Blocker
Agents in trend.
