Overview
Dream on Trending refer to a series of Twitter hashtags that were used by fans and anti-fans of Minecraft streamer and YouTuber Dream to make posts about the streamer and attack each other on Twitter in December 2020 and early January 2021. In that period #Dreamfell, #JHSFGJSLF, #RIPDream and other hashtags referencing Dream reached Trending on Twitter on a near-daily basis.
Background
On November 14th, 2020, Minecraft streamer and YouTuber Jschlatt tweeted[1] "I would pay good money to never see a minecraft youtuber trend on twitter again," with the tweet gaining over 3,300 retweets and 157,000 likes in one month (shown below, left). In the same thread, Jschlatt posted[2] a meme parodying Twitter's description of trending topics which imagined the word SDJKSJDKSDKS being pushed to top trends after Minecraft YouTuber Dream revealed that he ate Cheerios for breakfast. The tweet received over 430 retweets and 23,000 likes in the same period (shown below, right).
In the same thread, YouTuber and musician Wilbur Soot tweeted[3] "SDJKSJDKSDKS," with the tweet gaining over 25,700 likes in two months.
In mid-December 2020, a controversy surrounding Dream's alleged cheating during his Minecraft speedrunning attempts took place, with Dream becoming a viral subject of discussions on social media.
On December 28th, during a live broadcast by streamer BadBoyHalo, a sound of Dream falling over was heard, with streamers BadBoyHalo and GeorgeNotFound commenting on the incident (clip[4] shown below). During the stream, BadBoyHalo called for his viewers to get "#dreamfell" trending.
Developments
On the same day, multiple tweets containing the hashtag #dreamfell, including reuploads of the clip, memes and fan art were posted on Twitter. At approximately 3:00 PM EST on December 28th, 2020, the hashtag reached the top of Twitter trends on Twitter in the United States,[5] with Twitter providing a description for the topic[6] (shown below).
Following the popularization of the #dreamfell hashtag by Dream's fans, it also gained popularity among Dream's anti-fans, who used it to ridicule both the streamer and his fanbase (examples shown below). The SDJKSJDKSDKS meme regained popularity as a part of the contrarian trend.
On December 29th, 2020, Twitter[7] user @mrbeastytrewind launched #JHSFGJSLF hashtag, referencing the SDJKSJDKSDKS meme. In the following hours, the hashtag was used by Dream fans and anti-fans in tweets related to the streamer, and was later repurposed to spread awareness of the 2020 Croatia Earthquake (example tweets shown below).
On that day, #JHSFGJSLF peaked at top four ranking in the United States, with Twitter providing a description as the hashtag reached trending.
In the following days, more hashtags were used by both fans and anti-fans of Dream to attack each other, with many of the hashtags becoming trending on Twitter.
