I watched a 2018 TikTok dance trend get completely repurposed into a political protest format last month

Someone on my feed stitched the old Renegade dance with captions about rent prices and it got 2 million views in 3 days - has anyone else noticed old viral formats being recycled for totally new contexts?

Exactly. That Renegade thing was WEIRD to watch. Viral stuff gets reborn for whatever people need it to say.

Wait, did you see that Renegade one too? It was so wild how something so silly turned into a real statement. Like, the dance moves are still there but the vibe is completely different, you know? I swear every time I scroll now I see some old meme or format being twisted into a whole new meaning. It sort of gives me hope honestly because it shows people are paying attention and finding creative ways to speak up. But it's also a little scary how fast something can get flipped around for a totally different purpose. lol

That 60 year old grandpa dancing to it changed my mind completely.
