Many people imagine trend setters to be young, fashionably dressed urbanites. Many are, which is why marketing agencies spend so much time trying to figure them out, but not all trend setters are alike, and many do not conform with the common stereotypes.

Trends come in many shapes and sizes. There are fashion trends and tech trends, but there are also language trends, lifestyle trends, religious trends, and dental care trends. Basically, there are trends to be spotted for every facet of life that you can imagine. While we are well acquainted with fashion, lifestyle, and tech trends courtesy of the media, coolhunters must also pay attention to trends in other areas.

One must also keep in mind the fact that the uber-cool trend setter in one field may be a hopeless looser in another, and that a painfully missing fool in one arena may be the king of his own game!

As a coolhunter, it is up to you to choose which fields you will explore. Though some are more popular than others, there's something for everyone!
