Picture yourself doing/ using whatever it is in 5 years....

Do you look silly? - then it's a fad.

When the trend becomes a stable phenomenon. There are companies that trend watch, they test sample people throughout the US and through some mathematical equation decide what isn't or is a fad. Very expensive for a product or service.

Wait at least a year to see if it lasts.
