Another name for the event that happened on May 4th, 1970, when National Guard troops opened fire on students after a series of protests occuring on the campus of Kent State University and in the adjoining town of Kent, Ohio.
The incident was initially sparked by planned student protests against Nixon's announcement that the US would send troops into Laos and Cambodia during the Vietnam War.
Students started gathering to protest in the first few days of May, 1970. Within days, the conflict between students and National Guard troops called in to keep order had led to arrests, injuries, the deliberate burning of an ROTC building, and the deaths of four students.

Get the Kent State Massacre mug.The "cream of the fight, rising up to meet the challenge of our rivals".
If you've ever been to an American high school basketball game, watched one of the "Rocky" movies (I don't know which one it was), or listened to the radio enough you've probably heard this song playing. (It's by the band Survivor, who appear to have been a one-hit-wonder.) It's all about fighting for your life and your dreams, or something like that.
The "eye of the tiger" can be anything that's a really big challenge that you must overcome to reach the top, or your full potential as a person.

The definition of "trendy" constantly changes because trends change too. What is in at one point often becomes yesterday's fashion very quickly. As such, there really is no set definition.
"Trendy" is often used in this day and age to describe young 18-24 year-olds (one of the most sought-after marketing groups) who follow fashion trends (sometimes even starting or perpetuating new ones), are technology-savvy, up on the latest modern/alternative music, and in general are part of a group of people who all follow these same trends.
Basically, a "trendy" person is abreast of all the latest trends, and follows or is at least aware of most of them.
