 What is It

UNLOCKING OF WORDS

Catchphrase- a phrase that is often repeated by and therefore becomes

connected with a particular organization or person, especially someone
famous such as a television entertainer. Innovation- the use of a new
method or idea.
Emulation- the process of copying something achieved by someone else
and trying to do it as well as they have.
Phenomena- it is something that exists and can be seen, felt, tasted, etc.,
especially something unusual or interesting.
Cyclical- happening as a complete set of events that repeat themselves
regularly in the same order or in a regularly repeated period of time.

GUIDE QUESTION:

1. Trends will not exist without their elements. What do you think are
the elements that make up a trend? Write your answer on a separate
sheet of paper.

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

13
 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.
