What it is: An old meme is making the rounds again on Twitter. First seen on Tumblr and Reddit, this “who is” trend has been popping off on the bird app. Tweets start with “Who is” and include the name of a person they love/admire/stan (this is the personalization aspect of the meme). Then follows a list showing how much the person means to them. For this trend, the list is always the same.
