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.
No, the definition says ‘especially one that is short-lived’. It means that things that are not short-lived can still be fads. It’s clearly an optional attribute. The key attributes are ‘intense’, ‘widely shared’.

You’re focusing too much on the ‘short lived’ part and not enough on the ‘intense’ and ‘without basis in qualities’ parts.
Short-lived is a key attribute of what “fad” means. If something stupid catches on for decades, it’s not a fad.

Cool.
