I have managed to stay pretty fad-free over time. But god knows I have seen them come and go and come back again. Like......
Davey Crockett
Beatles (invasion time you could buy Beatles anything)
007 (my brothers kicked my as for asking for a James Bond attache case that shot bullets and had an entire arsenal in it and cost 20 bucks)
Now that I think of it, I have been the anti-fad.
60's hippie long hairs, I had crew cuts
70's disco, I had hair to the middle of my back and lived in flannel shirts and jeans.
80's preppies, I lived in "sports team" jerseys and still had long hair
90's Prosperity, I didn't have a pot to p*ss in

This was a white braided macrame bracelet that came out in 1972 I think. It had no hooks. You slid it on and then went swimming. It would shrink to fit your wrist and not come off. These were popular at the beach to keep 'JAWS" away.
Must have worked since you lived to talk about it!
