_______ is the new “is the new”?
In my endlessly curious (i.e., incessant and addictive) surfing of the Internet, I found this diagram. The diagram “documents every instance of the phrase ‘is the new’ encountered from various sources in 2005.” How freakishly cool is this?
As many of you are much more in tune with popular culture, I’m curious to find out - what is the new “is the new”?
Any takers?

When I load your page, there are little tiny smiley faces hidden in it. Like five of them, hidden in different places each time. It’s like a game for me to find them. Do you do that on purpose? It’s fun.
Touch is the new therapy.
