10 Fads That Killed People

    Gangnam Style (2012)

    One of the most memorable fads of 2012 was “Gangnam Style,” an irresistible tune by South Korean rapper PSY that became a global viral hit, surpassing Justin Bieber to become the most-watched video on YouTube. The accompanying dance moves (a sort of horsey clop thing) were equally popular, with everybody from Britney Spears to NASA busting a move. But for British man Eamonn Kilbride, it was the last dance he would ever do. At his company holiday party in 2012, the 46-year-old father of three busted out the dance and instantly collapsed from a fatal heart attack.

Sagging pants was in the late 80's, early 90's for gangstas and wannabes to hide a gun in their waist band. Then is spread to suburban idiots.

This has nothing to do with fads and everything to do with morons.

When did waterbeds become a fad anyway?

Whomever put this together is an idiot.

The first "popular" group to sag was Kriss Kross in the 90s. Several of the law enforcement personnel I worked with then (and now) relate it to their work scenes...

its just stupid people doing stupid sh*t that's all its too it. Doesn't mean you shouldn't do certain things. Like the old guy dancing to gangnam style and dying. He was one foot in the grave already if that killed him. The austrilian kid doing planking on a f**n skyscraper. Stupid!! or the guy who tripped on his sagging pants and fell 3 stories while robbing and killing people. I say that's what they all deserved. Idiots are getting their rewards!!

Sagging didn't come about in the early 2000. Sagging has been around since I've been alive and I'm 26. Tupac sagged all the time. Don't give credit to the 2000's for a thing some did in the 1980's and hundreds later in the 1990's.
