Essential Question Post #8

Since my last essential question response, I've been spending more time thinking about my new question. It's true fads are everywhere, and there are new fads popping up all the time. And no matter how soon a fad is over, everyone is already moving on to the next one. They are all buying the new clothes, getting the new haircut, or whatever they need to do to be "in". Another question that popped up in my head as i was thinking about this is: Where do all of these fads come from? I think that maybe fads come from someone creative who is an individaul and wears something just because they like it. Then someone else sees it aand thinks that it is cool too. They decide to try and wear the same thing. This happens a couple more times, and then all of a sudden BAM! There's a new fad. This makes a lot more sense than the whole subliminal messages idea from the movie. But I'm still not sure how to answer the questions that i came up with in my last essential question response: Why do people feel the need to always buy the newest, best, "in" thing? Why are there always so many fads, and why do so many people follow them?
