"Trending" is a mutilation of the English language that means "currently popular." It derives from a sad misunderstanding of the verb "to trend" as meaning "to become a trend."
Twitter's "Trending Topics" list has probably contributed to this degeneration.

A: I said "Wikileaks is trending now" when I should have just said it was a popular news story. What's happening to me?!
B: The internet has ruined your mind. Reading pop culture on the internet is the worst thing you could do to your ability to communicate in plain English short of taking up a career in contract law. Hence "trending."

Get the trending mug.The definition of “trending” (a topic) be the subject of many posts on a social media website within a short period of time.
Ex: "I've just taken a quick look at what's trending on Twitter right now"
This is true for the term trending unless you’re talking about trending on YouTube in which case is not actually trending at all. Trending on youtube is simply videos that are not popular at all and are forced down people’s throats. Although this is YouTubes truth, videos by creators like Shane Dawson get 6 million views in 8 hours (9/25) (‘The Mind of Jake Paul’) and THAT is the actual definition of trending. thank you for coming to my ted talk.

Get the A word that has simply lost all meaning throughout history. It’s definition has faded into obscurity after being trending on Urban Dictionary for almost two years. mug.Anyone trying to capitalize on trends, viral videos, news, or trending topics. YouTube channels that copy videos on the trending pages in an attempt for views. No real talent, just purely trying to capitalize on trends. People that always tweet about trending topics for views. Anyone who tries a challenge video. Reaction videos.
I freaking hate trending chasers. They have no original ideas and just copy others. The first cinnamon challenge goes viral, now there's 1,000s. Ice bucket challenge? 1,000s. Literally any challenge or fad. Fidget spinners, pop its, Among Us, Fortnite, Minecraft, Slime.
