Year range in the infobox
I don't think anyone would disagree that dabbing is past its prime, but how is the actual end year determined? Putting a specific year feels arbitrary and/or anecdotal. The start of the trend is easier to defend, so maybe it should just be left at that, or it could just say something like "mid- to late-2010s". Yohoskebon (talk) 22:28, 5 April 2021 (UTC)
