Those were the people who followed the fads. Fads al- ways changed people's outlook on life and made them the individual they are not. For example, the hippies were a fad that changed a lot of people. Their long hair and extravagant floral print clothing were their trademark, and they had many followers. Hippies, tren- dies, and mini-truck owners all had one thing in common: they were all follow- ers of a fad. as 9 A Fads
