sekondave

Sekondave is a neologism used to describe a renewed momentum in a cultural, technological, or social phenomenon after a period of decline. The term is most common in online discourse and media studies discussions about revival cycles. It is typically used as a noun, and can function attributively as in sekondave momentum or sekondave trend, though some writers also use it as an adjective.

Etymology and form: Sekondave blends the phonetic spelling of second (sekond) with the English word wave, signaling a renewed wave of interest. The spelling variant with a k and the lack of standard capitalization reflect the term’s roots in digital communication and meme culture.

Usage and scope: Sekondave is applied to a wide range of phenomena, including fashion, music genres, internet memes, and technocultural practices that reemerge after a lull. It emphasizes the cyclical nature of cultural adoption and the idea that a prior trend can reappear with new framing or audience.

Origins and reception: As an emergent term, sekondave does not have a fixed origin point in scholarly sources, but it has circulated in blogs, comment sections, and trend analyses that discuss revival cycles in the 2020s and beyond. Some observers treat sekondave as a lighthearted or informal label, while others use it in more analytic discussions of trend dynamics.
