why fuss is not fix there?

[Alan]

Fuss means a trouble or difficulty that people make over something unimportant so if someone is complaining and it's not really necessary you say to them: Stop making a fuss.
Fad is a fashion that people follow or adopt for short while and then another fad or fashion takes its place.
