Top 30 Social Media Trends in February

From In-Game Virtual Concerts to Anti-Screen Hotel Suites

— February 24, 2019 — Pop Culture
From reinvented sports bars to anti-social media travel initiatives and digital detox wearables, the top February 2019 social media trends give people the chance to engage—and disengage—in fun new ways.

Mid-January, an image of an egg posted to social media broke records as the most-liked post on Instagram, collecting over 52 million likes on the platform. Since then, the initiative has been revealed as a mental health awareness initiative and brands have been quick to reference the phenomenon with clever online campaigns.

These social media trends see the role of the influencer taking on new meaning with the release of social media-inspired fashion dolls, CGI cover models and campaigns that poke fun at some of the stereotypes that surround influencers and followers today.
