2011 trend-kill wishlist

we've moved into the beginning of a brand new decade. in your opinion, are there any trends that have run their course?

my list:

- auto-tune? auto-tune was almost exclusively a 2000-2010 thing, and it was fun; but in my opinion, anyone making music this year with an overly obvious use of "the auto-tune" will be considered out of touch to me. but i'm infamously out of touch myself, so who knows.

i can't think of any more, but i had this thread idea at work and all.

2011 threads? seriously. it's almost February. let's get this year on like.

Thinking Arrested Development is a well-done show and quoting it incessantly to people who watched it when it was on air SEVEN FUCKING YEARS ago.

Erosion of civil liberties is pretty last decade.

I keep thinking that surely the trend of wearing pants well below your waist is going to end but it never does. Its fascinating to me.

All I have in mind is Aphex Twin and dubstep.

pre order bonuses on videogames

this is a good one, and i agree ever-mystifying that it is still around.

fads that need to die? foodie obsession with bacon. it hasn't been around very long, but the younger kids' dressing in cheesy ultra-80's getups.. it didn't look good back then and it sure don't now.

3D (stereoscopy)

Sidechain compression / ducking. It gives me a headache.

Painted-on jeans on men.

Non-prescription ironic glasses.

Wearing scarfs when it's warm.

Brostep.

Social networking.

Thinking one of the USA's political parties actually cares about your well being.

Fat pride.

3d movies.

Reality television.

Gossip magazines.

FM radio.

Petroleum.

Physical media.

Paper money.

Australian trend-kill: obsession with all things cooking related

digital exclusives

for whole albums and such it's a fucking pain, because I don't want to lose all my stuff when my HDD crashes, because the feel of opening new vinyl or cds is one of the greatest, and because I like to be able to have my stuff DRM free without having to pirate it.

for exclusive songs, it's just fucking dickish to give the people buying the hard copy versions the short end of the stick. I realize they're less profitable sometimes, but it always feels like such a cop out.

The Internet.

Apprehension towards mass change in progressive technologies.

what i meant was a lot of people try to do a 'new' sound by making regular music and soaking it in effects, some people do a good version of this while making interesting compositions like Broadcast.
