The Trend of Trending

After much encouraging (and forcefulness) I am finally posting my first blog post for The Trend Cup. Despite being the creator I can honestly say I have no idea what I'm doing but I think I'll find a groove soon enough. I can say that The Trend Cup is more than just clothes and accessories. It is a mixed pot of life, lifestyle, and of course the CLOTHES :)

The moral of my whole rambling banter - - - sit back and enjoy what is to come in the future!

Speaking of trends I recently stumbled upon a forgotten trend thanks to a friend.

The quality music video.

A guy I know recently posted his list of top three favorite music videos on Facebook. One of which just happened to be Virtual Insanity by Jamiroquai. After smiling at the memory of seeing this video some years back I started thinking about other music videos from the past and present. Some that came to mind were "Scream" featuring Michael Jackson and Janet, "Only" by Nine Inch Nails. Then I took a nice walk back to the summer of '99 with the TRL Video Countdown.

I remember the excitement and anticipation I used to feel waiting for TRL to come on at 3 p.m. I believe it was. That was back when MTV was more music than talk and it actually embraced the 90's kid much like myself. Now MTV is dull, the music video is mostly puff if not almost dying and I wonder .... what ever happened to the 3-5 minute movies of the past and will they ever return ?

**I originally had the video embedded on my blog. However, youtube took it down so follow the link and check it here:
