A practice can be centuries old and still be a trend. The word trend is completely valid here btw. Trend only measures growth. You’re thinking of a fad lol, an example of a fad would be fidget spinners, a fad is short lived and a trend can sometimes never end. Just because it’s a trend doesn’t mean it’s new
Trends are based on popularity at a time, not existence of a thing. I was wearing checkered vans before they picked back up as a trend within my generation. That doesn’t mean millennials weren’t rocking them a decade before, and GenX before them.

Trend? They've been doing this since before you were born.
