Pop Culture

The film everyone saw, the show everyone quoted, the trend you fell for. The shared culture of a decade, remembered from the inside.

Pop Culture question

Pet rocks, Beanie Babies, Pokémon cards, slap bracelets: what fad did you fall for, and who did you share it with?

For a season, it was everything: the toy everyone needed, the dance at every party, the thing you saved up for or begged your parents to buy. Fads come and go fast, but they often hold some of our clearest memories of friends, siblings and who we were back then. Tell us what you collected, wore, played or waited in line for, and what it meant to you at the time.
