Why is everyone 'going analogue'? Screen-free hobbies + social media trends

Yeah.

Like that's the bottom line of it is we've kind of been sat here doing this all along and now there's like this new wave of it's now trendy to be doing the things that we've been doing.

For years, I suppose it's watching which parts the trends grab as well from what we've been doing, because we've had this conversation before.

It's like the whole what is journaling, junk journaling, what is scrapbooking, all of that sort of stuff.

it's intriguing to me to, to watch bits, the bits that are being grabbed.

So like the journaling parts being grabbed, but obviously like scrapbooking and stuff is still under, under any sort of trendy radar.

And I feel like crochet and knitting is very there as well with the whole choosing like an analog hobby, but, you don't see like friendship bracelets coming back, like those sorts, like there's still others kind of string.

I mean, I feel like the Taylor Swift

fans might disagree.

I saw a lot of friendship bracelets in 2023 and 2024.

Like I feel like they had a real resurgence in the bead industry, probably made a lot of money from the era

store.

I feel like that's Swift.

That's the Swifties is doing the, but yeah, like it, It's funny to watch what's being cherry-picked by the algorithms out of what we're doing and sharing for what is

cool to be doing now.
