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, it depends what dictionary you consult. Can you give an example of a long-lived thing that would be widely considered a fad?
There are fads that have persisted over a longer term by coming in and out of fashion, like say bell-bottom pants. But I can’t think of something that would be widely considered a fad that has stayed in fashion for decades.

Short-lived is a key attribute of what “fad” means. If something stupid catches on for decades, it’s not a fad.
