Trend Adoption
Adoption follows an S-curve driven by imitation; early adopters signal, the mass follows, saturation breeds fatigue, and rejected forms return as retro. Timing on the curve decides both value and meaning.
An everyday example
Buying the trend at its peak and owning its decline.
What it can cost you
Paying peak prices for peak meaning; mistaking momentum for merit; abandoning good things because they became common.
Warning signs
- I want it because it is everywhere.
- I stopped liking it when it became common.
One thing to do
Locate the trend on its curve before buying; separate what you like from what is currently liked.
