Current thing

A particular topic dominating news headlines and social network conversations, causing passionate arguments, forcing people to take sides, and breaking up relationships as if it were the most important thing to have ever happened, only to suddenly disappear and be replaced with a different topic that will be treated equally.

Bob: I support the current thing!

Mary: Shut up you racist, you should be opposing it!

"Expert" (flipping pages): Uh well we've been seeing a lot of new evidence that cats like red.
Random cat lady: "My old Mittens loves red things."
Street random: "Yeah I like cats."

Current Year 

A term, often used in a derogatory manner, to refer to comments and rebuttals about about the current year and the actual or expected state of being for a society.

The phrase has its origins on 4chan, with satire of John William Oliver and his use of the current year as a straw man argument.

Person A: How am I privileged again? I was born to a single mother and a dad who ran away never to pay child support, only to graduate high-school as the recession peaked.

Person B: (Jokingly) You are white and male. You have no argument and should understand this, it's current year.
