when an individual or group does something on social media and it goes viral, prompting others to do it too, it becomes a __?

GPT-5 mini · Answer

Best single-word fit: "trend" (or "viral trend").

Other options depending on context:
- "meme" — when the content, idea or format is copied and remixed.
- "viral challenge" — when it’s a specific activity people are prompted to do (e.g., Ice Bucket Challenge).
- "movement" — when it sparks sustained collective action or advocacy.
- "snowball/cascade" — to emphasize rapid spread.

Use "trend" for the general case.
