So you didn't keep up with internet trends all that much this year – who cares? It's probably a good thing that you didn't ace this quiz, maybe actually you did something useful instead this year?

Well, aren't you quite the internet genius?! You were clearly up to date with all of the trends of 2021, so at least you achieved something!
