"Forecasting the Trends and Battlegrounds of the 2024 Election"

The Washington Post's Style section continues its annual tradition with the 2024 edition of "What's In and What's Out," offering a wry and eclectic forecast of cultural trends for the upcoming year. The list, which has been a staple since 1978, is known for its mix of empiric, conceptual, and sometimes inscrutable predictions, and is crafted without the assistance of AI, despite the satirical inclusion of AI as a trend. This year's list moves away from pregnancy announcements and "Vanderpump Rules," while embracing "Summer House" and looking beyond Paris for the Olympics.
