      Same thing happened with OCD as well. It’s just natural changes in language. This one will pass as well and there will be a new word in a few years

        true all around

        edit … on second thought, im not sure i agree its a “natural change in language” so much as it is a cultural meme that people just thoughtlessly parrot. so, i feel language hasnt changed so much as a term of the moment has. but anyway, im rambling. cheers.
