Neither coffee houses nor micro brews are new to the past 20 years. For instance, here in Louisville, BBC (Bluegrass Brewing Company) and Heine Bros. Coffee are both older than 20 years. They have grown and gained competitors over time though. Just don't want the millennials to think that they invented microbrew and good coffee.
I will have to go with social media as the biggest trend/fad of the last 20 years.

Also anyone confused with Uber being referred to as a "fad/trend"? Should we put email up on that list while we're at it?

I haven't really participated much...but I have found it to be a rather fascinating spectator sport.

Yoga pants in sizes Small and Medium are the best trend.
Yoga pants in sizes Large, XL, XXL and XXXL are the worst trend.
I was going to vote for yoga pants, but then Mav chimed in with internet porn. Internet porn is the clear winner. Yoga pants is very close and will take over as #1 if there is ever an EMP event that wipes out electronics.
Here are the +/- internet porn:
Here are the +/- internet porn:
- (+)free t&a pics/vids
- (+)easily accessible
- (+)variety, but can filter to weed out the bad stuff
- (+)can be viewed in private
- (-)popup adds
- (+)free & plentiful
- (+)no need for a computer or internet connection, just need working eyeballs
- (+/-)fully viewable in public (this is also a downside, as authorities frown on fapping in public)
- (-)can't filter out the fatties that wear them
While I'm pretty happy Americans decided to care about drinking good beer, coffee and food in general, overall it's been downhill since the mid 90s.
I think Historians will look back and call circa 1995 the peak of human civilization. Everything we really needed was invented; here on out it's just one step closer to self destruction unless we start colonizing ourselves on habitable planets.

This is true, easily #1. For anyone to suggest otherwise going forward is a dirty ***** liar
Women wearing form-fitting pants. Love the mid-90's but chicks wearing frumpy Silvertab jeans or shorts up past their belly buttons can get pumped.
1995 was indeed a "Gangster's Paradise" (the #1 song of 1995!). Too bad it wasn't a paradise for things like the Internet, mobile phones, computing, style, music, art, culture, movies, books, employment, dating, race relations, medicine, sex, or fapping. But at least you could get the choicest AOL screen names before they were all taken - no way PumpinRumps69 was available past March 1996.
Yes, when kids could play in the street, there wasn't a mass shooting every 3 weeks, people weren't morons on the Internet yet just horny, our biggest political problem was a president getting too many extramarital jobs, only the super lazy were unemployed, we weren't on the brink of world war 3 and Muslim extremists were largely kept in check, music was better from previous decades than now is undebatable, people socialized more face to face rather than through 6 inch screen conduits, medicine was cheaper and tech could still do all the main functions though those fields and some others are obviously going to improve but at costs.
Fan of the gristly thicket of winterbush myself... Kinda like finding the surprise in a full box of CrackerJack.
Smartphones, tablets, much more important imo then coffee or car service, without the phone uber wouldn't exist.

Jogging...but I think it's pronounced yogging. Apparently you just run. Supposedly it's wild.
