Before we move on to next year, let’s take a moment to remember the most awful trends of 2015 – and then forget about them. As fast as possible.

#1 The Kylie Jenner lip challenge: All over the world, Kylie-obsessed kids tried to make their lips look like Kylie’s by using more than dubious methods. Little did they know, it was all due to fillers.
#2 The Manbun: The worst part of this trend? Clip-on manbuns actually were a thing for a while.

#3 "Don’t judge me": Although it started out as a campaign to end body shaming, it eventually turned into the complete opposite. With gorgeous people adopting the original hashtag, it was all about flawless faces again. Hence, they had completely misunderstood the whole thing and just re-instituted common beauty ideals.
#4 Fad diets: Especially the so-called ‘bulletproof diet’ annoyed the sh*t out of most people. One essential part of the diet is the ‘bulletproof’ coffee. By consuming caffeine with melted grass-fed butter, the body is supposed burn more fat in the end. There is no scientific evidence to this diet – it is simply made up. Also, how about some exercise?

#5 Menism: Wait, what? If you haven’t heard yet – in 2015, menism was actually a thing. To cut a long story short, it was about men on the internet complaining about feminism and its double standards. They were literally complaining about paying the bills at dates and giving up subway seats. Their line of argument is absolutely watertight – since this is what feminism is all about. Having to pay bills.

#6 Hover-boards: Exploding hover-boards. Right, just hover around on a ticking time bomb. Also, ever thought about why human bodies come with legs?

#7 Selfie sticks: Um… right. Taking selfies in Auschwitz seemed like a good idea at the time.

#8 Sam Pepper’s "Best Friend Murder Prank": In 2015, Sam Pepper had another fun idea. Why not pretend to kill someone’s best friend and then publish the reaction on the internet? Why not imitate ISIS’ beheading videos? Maybe because it offends thousands of people.

#9 Complicated bathing suits: They made for some interesting tan lines.

#10 Bubble nails: Um… no. Please just stop. No more bubble nails in 2016.

#11 The condom challenge: The idea was to fill a condom with water and drop it onto someone’s head and then burst into laughter. Most people realized too late that it was really nothing but ridiculous.
