Thank you for visiting the Bad Fads Museum.

While the name of this site is BAD FADS, please note that this is neither an indictment nor an endorsement of any of the fads mentioned. As you know, during the ’70s the word “bad” could alternately mean “good!” Thus, this site was created to take a fun and nostalgic look at fashions, collectibles, activities and events which are cherished by some and ridiculed by others.

Browse through the fun and fascinating  fads of the last 100 years. The fads are broken down into the following categories: Fashion, Collectibles, Activities, Events, Health & Fitness, Hobbies, Music & Sound, Sports & Recreation, Science & Technology and Television & Film.

Come back soon and remember that these are the fads you wished would stay forever (or never come back).
