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.
