I always find it interesting when people insist on a specific date for something's peak popularity, but they never say where they get that info from.
This meme was so 2013, or that was so 2004. Like why do you care so much about this one specific topic that you memorized the specific year that it's popularity was at it's peak?
- lamontcg 4y agoAlso depends if we're talking about the initial "epidemic" spread of the meme, rather than when it became "endemic". The term "gaslighting" has never been more popular than now, so it still hasn't reached any kind of peak but it is definitely "endemic" at this point so it feels like "yesterday's news" if you caught it back in 2016.
