IMHO. if you follow a trend because you actually admire the look, then great.
Do what makes you happy. Who cares if a million others are doing the same thing!
But if you follow a trend for public acceptance, or you want to be a part of the pack, that is just so sad. Everyone has an opinion..take time to figure yours out and then express yourself. Who cares if you are different or if no one like your tastes..it is your ride not theirs.
And if you follow the trends for profit (resale)......well its not worth wasting words on that!
