Every generation gets caught chasing fads. The new diet, the new gadget, the new dance nobody will remember in six months. Fads are the “light beer” of culture — quick, trendy, and easy to swallow. Everyone grabs a can because it’s what’s popular, but by the next season it’s flat and forgotten.

Classics? That’s the dark pour. They stick. Jeans, leather jackets, handwritten notes, vinyl records. You don’t have to pretend with a classic — it doesn’t need hype, it just stands there, heavy and unshakable.

The problem is, we keep letting fads convince us they’re the future. One year it’s kale smoothies, the next it’s oat milk, then it’s mushroom coffee. Meanwhile, the classic cup of black coffee is sitting in the corner like, “I’ve been doing the job since before your grandma was born.”

And sure, fads have their place. They make noise, they burn bright, they give people something to talk about. But classics? They build roots. You can laugh at dad shoes, but they’ll outlast every Yeezy on the shelf.

Fads vs. classics is just another carton of Expired Milk & Lies — the packaging keeps changing, but the truth is simple: trends fade, the real stuff never does.
