You will find happiness here, dear customer.

You're just describing fashion.

It's just like beanie babies but that whole cycle took years to mature, now it takes weeks.

Labubu released 2015.

    Yeah, but no one gave a shit until about a month ago now people are literally fighting in the street over them and in another month no one will care again.

    I'm fairly sure they started being hyped at least in January, when the Labubu subreddit (created last September) first showed up in the internet archive, where it also had quite a bit of activity. Thus I also heavily doubt it'll fade in a month.
