Trends

Thuli is talking to Sandy about the latest trends and the ridiculous things that people do to stay trendy. 
" Eish chomi, couple goals, body goals, bae cation goals. That's all we ever see on Instagram. 
Everyone is trying to be someone that they are not. We have stopped chasing after what makes us original and authentic. Lalela gal. I saw a Kim Kardashian look-alike on Instagram. Everything fake, my friend. She was made of plastic yazi. I wonder how much this Kim Kardashian clown makes on Instagram. Tjo! " Sandy replies," Are you sure its a 'she?" They glance at each other and shake their heads in amusement. 

For a moment, Sandy ponders on what Thuli said. She remembered something that she totally dislikes. 
"Thuli, nna I have always hated how a certain hairstyle starts trending. And then the majority of the people around you will latch onto that style. Everyone you see will be rocking that hairstyle. I mean,how can one style suit every single person out there?
Remember when the mohawk was a big thing? Men and women had the weirdest mohawks. Some people NEED friends. Honest friends. Ahahahahahaha!" They giggled at the memories of some of the funniest mohawks they had witnessed in their young lives. From school mates,to lecturers, and family members they know. As well as random individuals on the street with a disastrous looking mohawk.

Sandy chips in,"Or a new popular make up set starts circulating. 
Then you see some people going high and low in search of that 'most amazing' trending item. 
What is up with people wanting to stay trendy all the time, any way? Sometimes when you look closely to what is currently trending,it might not be for you or your image.


Thuli adds," Eyi chomi but then some people will force themselves on everything that is trending. 
I swear, my friend, if something does not look good on me, please tell me. I don't want to look like an idiot trying to stay 'trendy and fabulous.' Ahahahaha," she giggles. 


They finally reached the busy corner of the robots where a group of other students were waiting for the taxis. Sandy pulls out her phone and logs into her Instagram account. She clicks on the search button and scrolls through the explorer page. And for the first time she sees a video of a person eating a very large meal. It looked like a very big bowl of noodles. Sandy clicks on the video to enlarge it. With chopsticks in her right hand, the pretty face on the screen forced a large portion of noodles into her mouth. The sound of it was unusually audible (ASMR) 
And, to Sandy, that was weird and amazing to see. Her eyes lit up. She nudged Thuli and said to her ," Hhayi bo look at this." Hehehe this girl. She has 151 452 views just for eating in front of us. Thuli bursts in, in an excited tone, " Ngempela what is so nice about watching some one eat?" They look at each other for a second before they simultaneously throw their heads back and start laughing. 






The taxi arrives and parks in front of the first crowd of students that were waiting by the robots. They all scatter to it and climb aboard. By now, both Sandy and Thuli are scrolling through their individual Instagram accounts sucking in the glory of the latest trends across the globe from their devices. They were overwhelmed by the various images and clips that showed them amazing items from fashion to make up,hair, and the list goes on and on. Watching videos on Instagram is much more engaging than staring at a picture.  



Do you think Thuli and Sandy are characters that you can relate to?
When I scroll through my Instagram account, I am, sometimes, a little overwhelmed by the amount of things that are trending. One trending item is more interesting than the last one. It just never stops. And this is the world we are living in. You simply cannot ignore the restlessness of society. 
Something will always grab your attention. Each and every one of us has an interest that falls under a certain demographic according to our habits and behaviors. We are living in a world that is always looking for the next best thing. That's what makes the world go round. Trends!


The search continues...
