Twitter first introduced trends in 2008, according to a 2010 blog post from the company. Since Twitter's public launch 15 years ago in July, trends have become a crucial part of the social media platform's ecosystem. Providing context to Twitter trends - even ones as complex as this, which invokes one of the most Tumblr-famous pieces of fan art of all time - is the primary responsibility of Twitter's trends curation team, which is staffed by teams in New York, London, and Sydney.

The discussion was summed up in a Twitter-penned description attached to the trending topic: "The Wikipedia page for the third vice president of the United States, Aaron Burr, has been altered to include a reference to a piece of fan art depicting Thomas Jefferson wearing a chest binder depicting the face of Hatsune Miku." It wasn't even for any particular historical anniversary either. Why were a flurry of users on the platform engaging in discussion about the third vice-president of the United States almost 200 years after his death? It wasn't because of "Hamilton," the musical in which Burr is the primary antagonist.
