When a trend only reaches mainstream awareness as a mockery, like labubu, it’s not destined to last long.




I think that’s how it reached mainstream awareness for adults. Kids still are into it to some degree. I’m not sure how much staying power it has, I just know it’s not really dead.

Sony released an angry birds movie more than 5 years after peak interest, they're a trailing indicator
