Oh no!  I've created a monster!  I had no idea this thread would still be going...YEAH!

I have seen a lot of good points regarding whether a pop culture item is too old or not quite old enough to still be considered "cool."  Granted, quite a few people have their fingers on the pulse of Japanese pop culture and pop culture in general to know the minute an item is cool abroad, even though the American fandom at large may not quite be aware of it.  Look at Bleach!  The US is 2.5 seasons behind!  However, I was seeing the Bankai uniforms at Con long before the dub actually got to that point, so obviously some were more ahead of the game than others.

I abhor FW's so my friends and family generally know better than to send them to me.  Thus I was a little behind on the whole RickRolling phenom until someone explained it to me after the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade pulled a RickRoll on the FHIF float, complete with Rick Astley!  However, I still like to think of myself as pretty up on most trends.  I guess the point I'm trying to make is that there will always be people who latch onto a trend at it's beginning, some who come in in the middle and some who don't catch on until last.  Otaku is otaku.  It doesn't really matter to me when you showed up at the party!

You are partially right in when you say this, but the ending is just horrible. Trends and timing are important, and mean absolutely everything. To explain I will simply replace this with...

Fashion.

Fashion trends change per season and sometimes even quicker than that. If you don't keep up with trends, you are nothing but a wannabe in terms of fashion. You are either, someone who doesn't get it... or someone who TRULY DOESN'T CARE TO GET IT so they work on their own pace.

The people that catch on to trends later, doing things like hare hare yukai 2 years late, catching up with carmamell dansen 3 years later, REALLY CARE, they're just really late to the party. In terms of fashion, they would be the ones wearing 2 seasons ago colors and trends which is horrible. If it makes them happy, that's good for them, but those people don't do this stuff because *it makes them happy*. They truly do it, because they think they're cool and part of the in crowd. They think they're really on the cutting edge, that's why they so proudly show it off. Most people that are really up to date with trends, don't really show it off, they just subtley keep up with it and know what they're doing.

The Hare Hare Yukai and the Lucky Star were dance routines that you really had to memorize and practice.
