Why did everyone all of a sudden begin saying this or that is "Neat" again?

I expected a more moody response.
(also, let me know when "swell" becomes a thing again so I can emigrate)
Everything you say and do matters. People will respond in ways you may never see. May those responses be what you intend.

I tend to use "neat" sarcastically.

I use neat both sarcastically and seriously! I mostly just find it to be an entertaining word to use.

I have always used that word in that way. Fucking people jumping on my bandwagon. But can we all just be happy that, "Sucks to Suck" has stopped being used.

If I call something neat it's probably not something you would consider neat.

Yeah well it's a thing, guy. Twitch has begun to proliferate with "neat". It won't be long until you're under the spell and don't know what happened and are powerless to do anything except conform.

Actually, this thread reminds me.
At what point did "baby" become a term of endearment? Like why would you even etc.

It predates Justin Bieber. I believe Britney was the first person ever to say it.

Informal sense of "very good" first recorded 1934 in American English; variant neato is teenager slang, first recorded 1968. Related: Neatly; neatness.

Words like this always come back. First ironically, then for real.
I think it's nifty, personally.

I always thought that "neat" was a common word and that people have always used it non-ironically. I suppose all of you must be far cooler than I am.

To be fair an english-speaking german and then a native US guy with asian heritage on twitch both started saying it a lot at the same time.
I was just like "OMG IT'S NEAT AGAIN WHY ARE YOU GUISE SAYING NEAT, NEAT IS REALLY REALLY NON-NEAT"
So you know I had sick reasons.
