First contribution by new user Social.next (contribs). Cleaned it up, but have never heard of this term, and top search results are for a computer company by this name. Are there cites meeting CFI? ~ Robin 15:55, 13 January 2012 (UTC)
- Appears borderline attestable: [1], [2], [3], [4]; sorry for the "google.cz" hyperlinks, I am using Google.com in English but get these anyway. --Dan Polansky 16:19, 13 January 2012 (UTC)
- But these hits stand no chance of attesting the current defition: "an active contemporary cultural awareness of a topic or behaviour that transcends unilateral discussion and becomes something of a global phenomenon". What they are good enough at attesting is IMHO the def given at megatrend: "A major trend". --Dan Polansky 16:23, 13 January 2012 (UTC)
- Added the "major trend" definition with your citations. The closest I could find to Social.next's definition was a lecture title:
- Lua error in Module:quote at line 2959: Parameter 1 is required.
- But that's not a lot to go on. ~ Robin 18:54, 15 January 2012 (UTC)

- I've kept the cited sense, and deleted the uncited sense. - -sche (discuss) 19:25, 16 March 2012 (UTC)
