Top 10 Worst Internet Trends

1. Kylie Jenner Lip Challenge

   It can cause permanent scars, and it just plain damages your lips and skin. Also, must I point out that Kylie Jenner uses lip fillers and injections to achieve her famous lips? I need say no more.

   It is really useless, and it does not have a good outcome! One of my friends did this challenge, and the skin above her lip was red and swollen for a couple of months!

   Stupidest trend ever. I hate seeing this all over YouTube.

2. YouTube Poop

   They were only good until Vine came along and ruined it with its hideous face!

   I like YTPs. They make me laugh all the time, but some of them have a lot of homophobia, which I hate.

3. Harlem Shake

4. The Word Swag

5. These Nuts

   One of many examples of dumb vines that became popular.

6. Damn Daniel!

   

   Damn Daniel is a 2016 viral video that became an internet sensation. The video features Daniel Lara and his friend Joshua Holz, students at Riverside Polytechnic High School in California. It is a compilation of Snapchat clips, in which Joshua repeatedly praises Daniel's fashion choices with the phrase... read more

   There was seriously nothing funny about this.

   Another dumb vine.

7. The Word YOLO

8. The Dress

9. Dabbing

   Dabbing's use nowadays originally comes from marijuana culture. It was about vaporizing concentrated marijuana (this marijuana doesn't help with seizures. It makes you get very ill later on), usually in the form of wax or hash, by placing it on an extremely hot metal object called a nail and inhaling the vapors produced. The nail is usually heated via blowtorch.

   Inhaling this harsh and concentrated marijuana often causes one to cry and wipe one's tears away while coughing and passing a bong.

   Sadly, dabbing was still a thing long after its time.

10. Fidget Spinners

    I have anxiety when it comes to school (especially tests), so before finals came out, I got a fidget spinner, and it helped me focus on studying and got rid of my stress. But after getting it, I saw on the internet while doing some research that people were using it on their makeup, making candy out of it, and of course, a DIY version. Later, people I know started getting them because they were cool, although they didn't have any problems.

    Soon, everyone had one even if they didn't have problems, and I started to see channels on YouTube that didn't have anything to do with toys started using them just to get views.

    As a stress-relieving toy, it's not a bad thing. It's fine. As a trend, it's annoying. I see these dumb "Fidget Spinner Giveaway" livestreams on YouTube, and YouTubers oversaturate them into clickbait videos.

    Besides, how did it even become a trend?

    Vandalizing theaters for clout is stupid.

    Cancel Culture

    Perhaps one of the worst internet trends to exist is cancel culture. Usually, the people who get "cancelled" have done something wrong years or even decades in the past. Some people out there say that a certain person is "cancelled" over a minor mistake they made in the past.

    At this point, who hasn't been a victim of cancel culture yet? As Ronnie Radke says in one of his songs that came out this year, "They won't stop till everybody's zombified."

The Contenders

13. Tide Pods

    Don't get me started on this. Do teens already know that Tide Pods are bad to consume? It's a stupid trend that's just for teens to do suicide.

    What's worse than a cringy or bad internet trend? One that could kill you.

14. Fortnite: Battle Royale

    

15. Water bottle flipping

16. Using "Cancer" as an Insult

    Using "gay" and "autism" is also bad.

17. Clickbait

    How on earth is this not in the Top 10?

18. Autistic Screeching

    Autistic Screeching is a stereotype. Most autistic people are high-functioning and normal.

    FACTS. People can be so incredibly rude these days.

    That's an insult to us autistic people.

19. Jacob Sartorius's music

    

    Rolf Jacob Sartorius, known by his middle name, was born on October 2, 2002. He is an American singer and internet personality who gained popularity by posting lip-syncing videos on Musical.ly and Vine. In 2016, he released his debut single "Sweatshirt", which charted on the Billboard Hot 100 in both... read more

22. Harambe

    

    Harambe, born on May 27, 1999, was a male western lowland gorilla housed at the Cincinnati Zoo. He was shot and killed on May 28, 2016, by a zoo staff member after a three-year-old boy climbed into his enclosure, prompting concerns for the child's safety. The incident led to widespread public outcry... read more

    Just, please put this trend out of its misery.

23. Don't Judge Challenge

24. Then and Now

25. What Does the Fox Say?

26. Planking

    This one isn't so bad, but I included it because it actually killed someone.

27. "Smol"

    Describing someone or something as "smol" is a cute, shortened version of the word "small". Although it's silly, this is a pretty harmless trend in my opinion.

    Yuck. I cringe when teenage girls use the words "smol", "smol bean", "cinnamon roll", "bae", etc.

    It's so cringeworthy. I don't know why, it just is.
