    so much as it is a cultural meme that people just thoughtlessly parrot.

    Honestly, I think that’s a big part of how language naturally evolves

      agreed, but individual terms trending or not, dont equate a “change of the language” so much as a change of whats trending in said language. a semantic nitpick, to be sure. :)
