Yeah and now people walk around with Bluetooth headsets on everywhere, 24/7. I don't live in SV (thank God) but I'm afraid that mere fashion won't be enough to shut this trend down. Some people don't care about looking like dorks, and when they wait long enough, the stigma dies down.

My point in the parent comment was that it isn't just fashion this time.

But, to my point, fashion alone was enough to stretch out the normalization of bluetooth headsets by a decade. As of 2020 or so, we were still memeing on "airpods everywhere" people, not that they could hear us.
