“Hey, Tony!”

“Good morning Ralph. What is it?”

“Didja hear about what’s going on in society? It’s the latest thing and everybody’s talking about it!”

“Say WHAT?”

“It’s the newest trend!”

“I swear to God sometimes I feel like I’ll never be able to keep up with all these trends in 2013.”

“Well, they’re even saying 2013 was one of the best years for trends OF ALL TIME.”

“(sighing) 2013 … what a year for trends.”

Ladies and gentlemen, heed the wise words of Ralph and Tony. When it comes to trends, they just plain GET IT. This was the year when trends influenced fashion, music, and lifestyle choices. We saw clothes that were trendy as well as slang phrases and dance moves.
