Tie dye and Dip dye should just...die?

You know how I usually have my little rants over things which I really can't choose between. Like the typical- sock sandals vs. normal sandals or patent leather boots vs. normal boots etc. There always seems to be a trend piece which contrasts immensely to the styles that I generally like better. Right now, what is on my mind is the tie-dye trend. The process of how one colour can cascade into another isn't really that fabulous to me. This could be due to two reasons: One; I am familiar with the process of dip dying and tie dying as I was a textiles student and sure it is a whole lot of fun to get your hands stained a nasty shade of beetroot purple and bright orange but after a while, you figure it isn't that hard to do yourself (If you want a basic 5 step tutorial, just email me. I've done this to singlets before. It's fun but looks a tad tacky), Two: The last time I bought something which was dip dye, it costed my $500 and I only wore it once before I figured that it wasn't classy and trend pieces starting at $20 were coming in. (You can guess how cut I was at this.) I know, such shallow responses. Oh well, I suppose that if it is good enough for McQueen and Stella McCartney, it might be good enough for me...to look at...not wear! And even looking at it, seems to take such effort.
