In Everyday Life
Everyday life shows many good examples of mainstream pieces such a phrases on the Internet or songs that were once cool to a minority of people and now are known by millions of people worldwide who would have laughed at the topic originally.
Many people mostly people between 11-18 have been using the phrase "Come at me bro" and "Cool story" which became famous as a Meme many years ago however now it seems it is the answer to every insult and a reply to every story. Apparently it is considered cool but if you were to say these a few years ago when the people who knew it were considered freaks everybody would think very little of the phrases.
The term "YOLO" meaning "You only live once" have become a mainstream term in modern society and is used as an excuse to be reckless with their lives. Examples of this are jumping off a cliff for the adrenaline and risking impeding doom. It has also been used as an excuse to become a teenage parent.
Many people also began listening to music such as Gangnam Style by Korean rapper PSY (after it became popular), and is listened by people around the world despite the fact that few know his other songs or don't even know what K-pop is.
Even the way people dress can be considered "mainstream" as many young adults and teenagers are bowing down to "Hipsterism" because they believe it makes them look cool however they are just copying the trends set by others and have lost all originality. This caused an influx of "Hipsters" and thus made "Hipsterism" mainstream.

Famous quotes containing the words everyday life, everyday and/or life:
“The organization controlling the material equipment of our everyday life is such that what in itself would enable us to construct it richly plunges us instead into a poverty of abundance, making alienation all the more intolerable as each convenience promises liberation and turns out to be only one more burden. We are condemned to slavery to the means of liberation.”
—Raoul Vaneigem (b. 1934)
“Ordinary time is “quality time” too. Everyday activities are not just necessities that keep you from serious child rearing: they are the best opportunities for learning you can give your child...because her chief task in her first three years is precisely to gain command of the day-to-day life you take for granted.”
—Amy Laura Dombro (20th century)
“Voyage through death
to life upon these shores.”
—Robert Earl Hayden (1913–1980)
