trend hopping

Chasing popular movements

Trend hopping is the practice of quickly jumping from one popular trend to another, often without deep engagement or genuine interest.

The term usually carries a negative connotation, suggesting superficiality or opportunism: Influencers are constantly trend hopping to stay relevant.

Someone who trend hops prioritizes visibility over authenticity, chasing whatever is currently fashionable in fashion, social media, music, or business.
