The internet is (hilariously) predicting 2023 trends

Listening to Jimmy Buffett unironically will be in next year if I have anything to say about it. Smash-burgers, however, will be out.

With 2022 winding down, the Extremely Online have taken it upon themselves to predict the trends of 2023 — what's in, what's out, and what will (maybe) happen. Like anything on the internet, there's a mix of people posting their sincere predictions and using the trend to fire off a few jokes. In fact, most folks, like yours truly, posted a mashup of both real predictions and jokes. It's up to you to figure out which is which.

The posts were funny and good and, in some cases, actually kind of helpful in thinking about the year to come. For instance, some of the pop culture predictions, while hilarious, do seem kind of reasonable.

OK, honestly, it seems like some of these could definitely happen as well.

Some of these are let's say...overlapping...with other viral posts, but these are some specific predictions.

And this one has a few that will definitely happen.

The general predictions were great, but so were the calls on what would be in and out in 2023.

These sorts of posts are all over Twitter and TikTok, taking over the internet heading into the new year. I'll be interested to see what actually comes true. Personally, I am very invested in making Jimmy Buffett and frozen drinks a thing, so, you know, please help spread the word.
