    certain ‘sticky’ trends spread through our society. The trend I will be examining now is the current ‘man bun’ epidemic. The so called ‘man bun’ came to be the latest fashion trend for men due in part to the internet and to other factors as discussed in Gladwell’s The Tipping Point. 2015 was a year of many different trends spreading throughout society, but arguably none more polarizing than that of the man bun.
