What were we thinking back then ?
Trends that stem from viral moments not only show that we cling to moments to have something to talk about, but that we are also an unoriginal bunch socially. Of course, it’s all for fun, but sometimes we can look back on viral, trendy moments and say, “What were we thinking?”
