Contexto cultural
Danes value 'tidløst design' (timeless design). Things that 'går af mode' are often seen as a waste of money, reflecting the Lutheran heritage of frugality. In the tech world, 'at gå af mode' happens faster than anywhere else. Danes are early adopters, so apps like MySpace went out of style in Denmark faster than in many other countries. Slang in Denmark is heavily influenced by English and Arabic (Ghetto-dansk). These words 'går af mode' almost monthly among teens. Hierarchical management is 'gået af mode' in Denmark, replaced by 'flad struktur' (flat structure).
