Oh yeah, 2016 was the peak year for dabbing.

- Wii U, PS4, Xbox One
- Game of Thrones
- Minecraft
- Hunger Games and Divergent series
- Hulu and Netflix

Here's more stuff:

*Twerking (probably more of a 2013 and 2014 thing)
*The entire SJW vs. Alt-right thing is both mid and late 2010's; it started in around 2014.
*Musical.ly
*Ice Bucket Challenge
*Charlie Charlie Challenge
*We Bare Bears
*Undercuts
*Whole Foods and Trader Joe's
*Kylie Jenner Lips Challenge
*The "rise of incels"
*The legalization of gay marriage

2016 was probably the only year it was even relevant.

Jacob Sartorius was probably the king of Musical.ly. I don't hear much from him nowadays.

Undercuts did peak in the mid 2010s but they're basically a wholly 2010s thing. I saw some undercuts as early as late 2010 and I still see them, but not a lot like in 2015-2016.

- Wii U, PS4, Xbox One
- Game of Thrones
- Minecraft
- Hunger Games and Divergent series
- Hulu and Netflix


Minecraft imo was more early 2010s but it did continue being popular in the mid 2010s.

It just now made it to my small town in Oklahoma this summer.

I thought Musical.ly was more of a late 2015-early 2016 thing?

Musical.ly did peak in late 2015 - early 2016. I first heard about it in the summer of 2015, then it was everywhere during the 2015-2016 school year. But somehow in the second half of the 2016-2017 school year, it's not really a hot thing anymore. That's why Musical.ly is considered mid 2010s.

Late 2015-Early 2016 is mid 2010's. Absolutely.

Late 2015-Early 2016 is mid 2010's. Absolutely.

2019-2020: Possibly a hybrid of late 2010s and early 2020s
