Kevin is Jawn from the band Waterparks dog, and a lot of the Waterparks fanbase decided to set their profile picture to the same image and set their Display Names (DN's) to 'kevin'. This was known as the Kevin Takeover. The fans who participated in using the hashtag 'KevinNationArmy' did this so that other Kevins could see their tweets. This started off as unproblematic but the 'big parxies' decided to hate on them for it and cancel the kevins.
R.I.P kevin takeover.

A tap takeover is when a single craft brewery gains exclusive control of a bar or restaurant's draft or draught lines. This is most often done as a promotional event but on occasion it can occur by accident. A tap takeover begins with 3 draft lines and has exceeded 25. There is currently no Guinness World Record for most beers tapped by a single brewery at an off-site location. A tap takeover ends when each keg is "kicked" or "tapped out" or "eighty-sixed" or "cashed" or "all gone". There is no telling how long a tap takeover will last but often it is too long. There is no Guinness World Record for shortest tap takeover to date.
I heard Logboat Brewing is releasing their double mocha, candied boysenberry, triple dry-hopped Quad at the Tap Takeover tonight!

An artist/musician/band on music streaming services played again and again and again, especially after giving any one of their tunes a thumb's up.
Don't thumb's up that Cat Stevens track on my Talking Heads station, Brittany -- Stevens is a total takeover artist like The Beatles or Michael Jackson!

When you take control of a business situation by forcing your way in because it isn't up to par with your company's standards, or you buyout or buy in to a company in order to take control of it, often done by the company's competition in order to either shut it down or forcibly make it an asset or ally.
Person: Why does the sign outside say "under new management"?
Person 2: Hostile takeover, they swooped in and booted the old guys.
