Summarize this article:

There are many different types of trends: fashion trends, slang trends, new dances or social media trends. Some are easier than others to pull off, and all take a great deal of effort to popularize. You’ll want it to have a couple of qualities: mainly originality and simplicity. Creative, simple and accessible trends catch on because many people notice the trend and are able to participate.  Make sure your idea is original. While many trends build on current styles and ideas, good trends represent something unique. You’ll need to come up with an idea that is not only unusual, but makes people wish they had thought about it before. The trend needs to be something that truly interests you too, and not just something new for the sake of being new. Make sure it’s original and authentic to who you are as a person. Keep your trend simple. The more complicated a trend is and the more steps people have to follow, the less they will be interested. Trends like slap bracelets, the Macarena and reaction videos are simple, easy to make, learn or buy, and none of them take a lot of work for normal people to participate in. Try to angle for the same simplicity with your trend. You'll want to make sure that your trend is relatable and interesting to those around you. It will only catch on if other people find it interesting, so make sure it makes sense for the setting you spend your time in, whether it's school, an office, or an internet forum.

Summary:
Think about the type of trend you want to start. Think about the qualities of your trend. Tailor the trend to your environment.
