A moron who was hired to be my boss, even though they didn’t tell me that was the case – who, with a straight face, dead serious, and with an undeserved authority befitting a piece of shit, told me that Object-oriented programming was a fad. This was in 2008, 30-40 years after OOP was first introduced to the world.
But it is a fad. Rust for example is not a truly OOP language. There are more ways to do software than OOP and slowly the OOP fad is going away. It has and will have it’s uses but using OOP for everything was a fad that most people are getting over now.
No, it was a fad in the sense that people got too exited about it and started using it where it didn’t fit. Later they realized that and now start moving away from it. At least that how I would understand someone saying that “OOP is a fad”. It’s not some batshit crazy statement proving that someone is an idiot you’re trying to make it out to be.
Yes, it is a batshit crazy statement. “Fad - noun - an intense and widely shared enthusiasm for something, especially one that is short-lived and without basis in the object’s qualities; a craze”. OOP has existed for 40 years, has been widely tested, is a proven form of programming, and is still in active use today. You’re clearly missing the point, are severely uninformed, or have some agenda here, and I don’t really care to argue it with you. Good day.

Well I guess there is more than one. By that logic, literally everything in the universe is a fad. Good luck selling that bullshit :)

You’re focusing too much on the ‘short lived’ part and not enough on the ‘intense’ and ‘without basis in qualities’ parts.
Cool.
