The trends that everyone follows can stretch anywhere from the clothes on someone’s back all the way to the electronics that each and every person use.

But to take up what other people are doing is the way that they los themselves and become like every other. Such as the very clothes that they wear. More of the current or in trend as society would like to put it...
