trads
Conservative fashion adherents
Trads is informal shorthand for traditionalists—people who favor established customs, methods, or beliefs over modern alternatives.
The term appears across contexts: traditional Catholics who prefer the Latin Mass, traditional artists who reject digital tools, or anyone championing old ways against new ones.
The trads think the church went wrong after Vatican II.
Often carries a slightly dismissive or tribal tone, used by both insiders and critics.
