Microtrends What is It? (5)

Microtrends are small trends that affect a small percent of the population of the United States. For example, teenagers who knit, and mom’s who play video games.
I personally think that Mom’s who play video games are silly. Playing video games may be fun, but it’s a ridiculous waste of time. I do think that it’s funny that teenagers are knitting, but it’s better to knit than do other things that other teenagers are doing.
I believe that Hillary Clinton hired Penn for her campaign because she knows that one needs to understand microtrends to succeed and apparently Mr. Penn does. She wants to know how to talk to voters so that they’ll like her and vote for her, and she thinks that microtrends are the way to go.
I think that Penn’s book Microtrends could well be a political pun so that Clinton will receive more votes. He claims that he was going to write the book before, but conveniently for Clinton it was published five months before the preliminaries. That gives you something to think about.
As far as microtrends go, I think they’re everywhere, whether you realize it or not. For example many of us here at school seem to be wearing those slip on Vans. Many of us also seem to be saying the same things a lot. Things like, “Oh snap” and other such choice words.
