Think Tippy Tippy Tap or the Superman S, how is it that all of us remember them?
Was just discussing with my SO, about how somethings during our school days were really popular but there was no Internet to purport virality.
Even FLAMES or Truth/Dare. Like there has to be a genesis of these trends right?
I can already imagine some kid coming up with ideas like this and they caught on so hard, that word of mouth travelled far and wide.
Especially, something like Truth/Dare or Superman S, most kids in India know about it and it is a common cultural thing across the globe as well.
What do you think? Does anything else come in mind?
Word of mouth plus those schedules in news paper. I used to check the timings of Cartoon Network shoes in The hindu paper and tell my friends if there is any change.
Share what happened in the show the other day at school.
Even movie show timings
Also used to meet friends from different schools during cricket match they used to share what’s trending in their clan
Thats how trend used to pass
Even food, if i find some good stuff at one shop i used to tell my friends and go along with them to buy again
Just like the food reels now a days obviously its herd mentality by influencers on social media
TV, newspapers, magazines and phones existed bruh💀 and people used to talk to each other
I’m not denying any of that, but remind me when exactly was Tippy Tippy Tap in the newspapers, magazines or TV? 😂
Amazing how when sharing wasn't very convenient, lasting things were created. I'd say People still migrated/immigrated to other neighbourhoods, cities and countries.
There were advertisements and TV shows that promoted jingles/dance and music. Kids' books and magazines had things we all aspired to (Enid Blyton style backyard picnics)
And I guess some things just develop along similar lines in different cultures: basic stick and ball games played around the world and in many parts of India by children are very similar to professional hockey.
@Mimieux Correct, stick and ball games is an astute observation.
Lasting things are created when the flow of dissemination withstands virality. Rather, follows a long term mimesis.

I think we’re probably the last generation who watched animated shows on TV as kids, as now the new trend is of “iPad” babies who watch content online?

Toonami@5pm on an old CRT was the jam! We completed all homework before that to be "allowed" to watch! Also RIP Tori...

Was curious what are the best apps/products that are no more around, but were great at one point. I feel like there might be some insights here if everybody chimes in, maybe something we need to bring back alive?
