The Verge's Annual Summer Trends List: What's In and Out

Tech publication The Verge has unveiled its traditional annual list, identifying summer 2024's 'in' and 'out' trends and phenomena.

The compilation covers a wide range of topics, from artificial intelligence and technology to popular culture and sports. For instance, in the AI realm, the publication notes "AI 'pervert' glasses" as out, while fiber-based protein and "touching grass" are listed as in.

Staff members at The Verge compile the list, reflecting their perspectives on current phenomena. The aim is to spark discussion and offer a potentially humorous look at the rapidly evolving world of technology and trends.
