Secular trends? What the heck does that mean?
- aidenn0 8y agoA secular trend is roughly any trend that is not either a fad or cyclical. Basically the claim is that opting out of car-ownership will be a sticky long-term movement, not just something that urban hipsters do for a few years to signal how green they are. - Ice cream demand going up every summer is a cyclical trend. - Bell bottoms were a fad. - Smartphones replacing dumbphones is a secular trend.
