Last month, the trend began thanks to @purelyaesthetic11 who posted a slideshow of historical illustrations with Fetty Wap’s song, 'Again' playing.

On the image, the user asked: "How do you think the pilgrims would react if I pulled up to the mayflower with my jbl speaker and introduced them to fetty wap."

"Gotta reassure them all of their suffering was worth it bc now we can get lit in the club," he added in the caption.

This quickly went viral and received over 3.2m views, 719,000 likes as users in the comments imagined how people from this time period would reaction to Fetty Wap's music.
