I try not to let somethings trendiness status cloud my perception of it. Sure, I get sick of things that I'm over exposed to due to trendiness, but I generally don't pay attention to how popular it is when making my first impression.

Of course, that's often because I'm clueless as to what's popular and trendy. Shag's a great example. I remember when the Tiki Room line of Shag merch came out. Everyone was linking to pictures of it and I thought, "Wow, that stuff's pretty cool...now what's this Shaq [yes that's a Q, I kept reading it that way] thing everyone's talking about?" I was clueless, no idea that I was supposed to know the name Shag. So my opinion came pretty much solely from my reaction to the art.

And in that way, I have to thank the concept of trendiness. I'm not particularly good at finding things I like, especially when it comes to art and music. I honestly just don't have the patience to make the effort to dig for it. So it's nice when something that I happen to like catches that trendy wave and filters its way to me.

And honestly, the precentages are probably about the same. I can dig through the vinyl bin at your local used record store for hours and find 1 new thing I like. Or I listen to radio for hours and hear 1 new thing I like. Sure, I do like the occasional discovery of something before the masses. But not enough to regularly put out the effort when I can just let it come to me.
