Origin & Impact
The hashtag exploded on January 20, 2021, as Joe Biden was sworn in as the 46th President of the United States. The ceremony became one of the most-watched events of the year, with social media ablaze discussing everything from Bernie Sanders’ mittens to Amanda Gorman’s powerful poetry performance.
Youth poet laureate Amanda Gorman’s reading of “The Hill We Climb” became the breakout viral moment, inspiring millions and generating countless tributes. The inauguration marked a symbolic turning point after the January 6 Capitol riot, with heavy security and a scaled-down ceremony due to COVID-19.
The event’s cultural impact extended beyond politics, generating memes, fashion moments (Lady Gaga’s dress, Bernie’s mittens), and renewed civic engagement among younger demographics who had been politically activated during the 2020 election cycle.
