This article is directed to those out there who wants to know more about these trends, or others who just don’ t know about them. There are a lot of trends out there, but we will be showcasing only a few. So here they are, The most viral Internet trends:- Bottle Flip Challenge Yeah, who doesn’ t know about this! But for those who don’ t, this is basically what the name says; flipping a bottle filled with water( usually) until it lands on either of its bottoms, the cap, or the flat bottom. Most claim that this is a skill that can be achieved through practice well the others, say that it’ s just mere luck. Landing the bottle on its cap is believed to be the most difficult one, but some find it easier. For newbies, videos are out there of people, trying this challenge. Well good luck flipping bottles then! Mannequin Challenge What is up with all these challenges! Ok, so basically the mannequin challenge is a video of short duration, portraying a group of people who remain frozen in positions that are mostly related to daily life incidents. The phenomenon was believed to be started by a group of students from Florida in October 12, 2016. The hashtag, # mannequinchallenge, is used to tag these videos on social media platforms. So get your friends,( if at all you have any) and do the mannequin challenge! Juju on that beat HA! Here’ s personally my favourite one. Juju on that beat, is basically a rap written on sung by brothers, Zayion McCall and Zay Hilfiger. What’ s trendy about this is not the rap, but the dance video of this song that showcases various people doing the most hilarious and amazing dance moves. Now that you what it is, go and Juju on that beat! The Dab Last but not least, the most revolutionary one, the dab. The Dab is basically a dance move, where in one drops their head while raising an arm and the elbow in a gesture that has been noted to resemble sneezing. If you still didn’ t understand refer to the picture given below. It is used by various public figures like, Paul Pogba( Footballer), Usain Bolt( Athlete), Jesse Lingard( Footballer) and many, many more. It is usually performed as a celebration after completing a challenge or after doing something that demands a celebration. Now, don’ t just sit there, DAB!!
