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 and/or life:
“Towns are full of people, houses full of tenants, hotels full of guests, trains full of travelers, cafés full of customers, parks full of promenaders, consulting-rooms of famous doctors full of patients, theatres full of spectators, and beaches full of bathers. What previously was, in general, no problem, now begins to be an everyday one, namely, to find room.”
—José Ortega Y Gasset (1883–1955)
“I have heard that whoever loves is in no condition old. I have heard that whenever the name of man is spoken, the doctrine of immortality is announced; it cleaves to his constitution. The mode of it baffles our wit, and no whisper comes to us from the other side. But the inference from the working of intellect, hiving knowledge, hiving skill,—at the end of life just ready to be born,—affirms the inspirations of affection and of the moral sentiment.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
