Don't chase trends

“

- By the time you're aware of a trend, it's too late. Write what moves you. Trying to write a hit song is such an elusive thing, there's this temptation to try and write what you think is hot or trendy. The problem with that is that anything that you're hearing now that's trendy was most likely part of a trend that's come and gone. Since it's pretty much impossible to write for a trend when it's already recognized, why not just write what moves you?
