Some leisure activities become fashionable for a short time and then disappear when a new
trend comes along, whereas others seem to be perennially popular. I can therefore only
partly agree with the assertion that hobbies reflect changing fashions rather than our true
interests.
On the one hand, it is true that many hobbies are simply passing trends. Children and
teenagers, in particular, are attracted to whatever activity is currently popular among their
peers. My 10-year-old niece, for example, seems to have a new interest every month, as she
joins in with the latest craze that sweeps through her primary school. Over the last year or
so, she has been obsessed with Rubik’s cubes, fidget spinners, squidgies and slime. In a
similar way, there have been several different fitness trends for adults over recent years,
from jogging to yoga to circuit training, and I doubt whether the majority of participants
continued to enjoy those activities in the long term.
On the other hand, many people spend their free time doing popular activities that are far
from trendy. One good example would be the game chess. Children and adults who enjoy
playing chess are certainly not following a new fashion or wasting their time on something
that they do not truly like. On the contrary, they are passionate about a game that has
existed for hundreds of years, and they find it inherently fascinating and absorbing. I would
say the same about many other hobbies, from reading to swimming.
In conclusion, while some people are attracted to the latest fashionable hobby, others
choose their pastimes for more genuine reasons.
