Category talk:2020s fads and trends

How are some of these fads?
I mean, I can see some stuff being here, but some of these aren't fads.

Fads are described as "an intense and widely shared enthusiasm for something, especially one that is short-lived and without basis in the object's qualities; a craze." I see some of these, like Among Us could be, at it's peak, a fad, but things like Friday Night Funkin' are still at their peak, and don't seem to be a short-term craze. Plus, how are Roller Skates a fad? Pokemon has been around since the 80s, how is that a fad? List of "fads" that should be removed in my thoughts are: Break My Stride, Candy Crush Saga (which should be moved to 2010s fads), Dead or Alive, Dreams (A Fleetwood Mac song is a fad?), Five Nights at Freddy's (which is a 2010s fad, somewhat still going), Fortnite (which again, 2017, 2010s fad) Friday Night Funkin' (which judging by the kickstarter, has a long way to go), Gangsta Rap (an ENTIRE music genre from the 80s), For some reason a user pokemon sandbox page, Pokemon in general (NOT A FAD.), Roller Skates, Urbanism(?), and Yu-Gi-Oh! Seriously don't get how POKEMON is a fad, especially when it's been around for so long. Count fads as up to one and a half year of peak popularity.

Any criteria?
Are there any criteria for inclusion in this list, or is anything with a certain amount of popularity admissible? The songs and video games are obviously quite popular—but what's to prevent their proponents from entering them here just to publicize them? – AndyFielding (talk) 02:23, 4 February 2022 (UTC)
