# Anti-Activewear Spoofs This Humorous Video Pokes Fun at the Pervasiveness of Activewear By Christopher Magsambol | Published 2015-09-28 | Pop Culture Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/activewear References: [mashable](http://mashable.com/2015/09/23/activewear-song/?utm_source=feedly&utm_medium=webfeeds) & [youtu.be](https://youtu.be/CYRENWT8lz8) A group of Australian comedians made a video about what they believe is a growing problem -- women wearing activewear when they are not being active. The video hilariously depicts [women in activewear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/legendary-capsule-collection) doing a variety of things like shopping, going for coffee, sitting on the couch or doing laundry fully decked out in fitness gear. Although there is nothing necessarily wrong with doing daily activities in activewear, the video makes light of it as a common occurrence. The parody video also spoofs [athletic name brands](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/puma-x-squid-game-collection) and slogans, often subverting it to change its meaning. The video however works to reaffirm the sentiment that [activewear is actually very comfortable](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/activewear-essentials). The makers of the video admit that the reason behind it is a little self-deprecating: they wear activewear, but are rarely active. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.4/10 - Popularity: 34% | Activity: 90% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 30% men, 70% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Pop Culture](https://www.trendhunter.com/popculture) > [Media](https://www.trendhunter.com/media) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Activewear Spoofs:** Creating humorous videos that mock the trend of wearing activewear in non-active situations. - **Pervasiveness of Activewear:** Highlighting the increasing prevalence of activewear in everyday activities through humorous content. - **Subverting Athletic Brands:** Creating parodies that mock athletic name brands and slogans, transforming their meaning. ### Where This Applies - **Fashion:** Opportunity for fashion brands to capitalize on the comfort and versatility of activewear, expanding their product lines and targeting non-active consumers. - **Advertising:** Opportunity for advertising agencies to create humorous content that resonates with consumers and taps into the culture of wearing activewear in non-active situations. - **Entertainment:** Opportunity for comedians and content creators to leverage the popularity of activewear spoofs and produce humorous videos that resonate with a wide audience. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Brunch-Inspired Activewear Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nimble-activewear.md) - [Contemporary Athleisure Brands](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/staud-sport-1.md) - [Bread-Branded Activewear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/warburtons-snacktive-wear.md) - [Activewear Lounge Ranges](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/soft-motions-collection.md) - [Comfort-Focused Athleisure Lines](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fresh-athleisure-collection.md) - [Essential 90s-Inspired Activewear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/90sinspired-activewear.md) - [Eco-Minded Workout Wear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hm-2.md) - [Athleisure Line Launches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/performance-in-the-city.md) - [High-Performance Spring Activewear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/spring-activewear.md)
