i guess this is on memepool, but so what? this is the funniest description of the anime trend that *I* have ever read:

"It's one of those classic things where the coolest kid in a schoolyard likes something and other kids follow and eventually the programmers follow," he said. "But then it gets to the point where even the nerd gets into it, and then the cool kids have to move on to something else."

From what I've seen, it's quite the opposite. Usually the unpopular, uncool people are ahead of their time. They start something unique and it's considered uncool until a few years later when all the main streamers pick it up... then suddenly it's cool and super popular, and it gets over marketed. Only noone ever remembers that it was the dorky, un cool people who started it, cause by the time it is cool, they've moved onto something else, or they just get acciused of following trends.
