Less of a conspiracy and more of a prediction:
In the future, we will look at shaped decks, sex changes, highwaters and snapback hats the same way we look at the huge pants, 38mm wheels and snappy noseslides of the early 90’s.
lame prediction, any person that's over 30 can predict that shit, since it's all cyclical. it's all been there before, even the highwaters. why would people start to hate on snapbacks? it's just a method to tighten your headwear, what the fuck makes it worse than a strapback, a flexfit, fitted new era, etc..., it's a trend for once, but also a personal decision. i mean it's a damn cap, they won't go anywhere. people been wearing baseball caps for about 100 years now. they also all look the fucking same in the front, who cares. same goes for shaped decks. why lessen options and ridicule people for their tastes? it's like only 10% max of all skaters nowadays ride shaped decks.
you are probably right in that people will cherry pick the most ridiculuos examples of todays trends in twenty years and will act like everyone was in on it, even though it's actually way more diverse and a sizable chunk of skaters is either just low key trendy or not at all. so in twenty years they will tell us that in 2018 absolutely everyone wore pants like gilbert crockett, that absolutely everyone skated shaped decks only and everyone but tiago lemos only did wallies, no complies and bonelesses, even though that's flat out wrong.
