From nightclubs to sports grounds to television studios, it seems almost everyone's had a dip at doing the dab.
But in a surprising new development, it has worked its way into the stuffy world of Irish politics.
In an attempt to get down with the kids, Richard Boyd Barrett brought the dab to the Dáil - the Irish parliament.
The left-wing Anti-Austerity Alliance People Before Profit politician pulled the move during a debate on the Irish government's Misuse of Drugs Bill on Thursday.
In his speech he said politicians "need to start to listen to young people", adding that some in his Dún Laoghaire constituency in County Dublin had asked him: "Do you have any idea what's going on?"
And he said they asked him to dish out a "bit of street language, from the street" to his fellow parliamentarians in the Dáil.
"When kids are trying to make a positive statement on the street they do a thing called a dab," he said.
"I don't know if you've ever seen it.
"I don't know what it means.
"But we need to learn what it means, learn what young people are talking about, what matters to them, what they consider positive activity."
Speaking to The Ryan Tubridy Show on RTÉ Radio 1, Mr Boyd Barrett said "we need more" hip-hop in the Dublin parliament.
"I don't pretend to be an expert on these things, but it's more from my own kids and young people that I've kind of learnt about these things," he said.
"Hip-hop, for a lot of teenagers these days, is the language they speak - it's the cultural language of teenagers."
He added that it's "very obvious" that many young people "are completely alienated from politics".
"In any election, it's clear that the biggest demographic that don't vote and don't engage with politics are young people.
"I think it's our responsibility to engage with young people."

At an event in Hove, the prime minister said all good schools should be able to expand and his government had supported that right.
The Weald of Kent girls' grammar school wants to open an annexe in Sevenoaks.
The Department for Education (DfE) is considering the plans which have the backing of Kent County Council.
The law forbids the opening of new grammar schools, but changes made by the coalition government in 2012 allow enlargement of existing schools.
"I strongly support the right of all good schools to expand. I think that's very important and that should include grammar schools," the prime minister said:
"Under this government grammar schools have been able to expand and that is all to the good."
Mr Cameron was responding to a question about the the proposed satellite grammar school in Sevenoaks.
But he would not be drawn on when the government was likely to make its decision.
"As for the decision that the Department for Education has to take, they have to take that having [looked] at all the evidence and after having proper consultations and making the decision in proper time," he added.
Sevenoaks is the only major Kent town that does not have grammar provision.
Bids made in 2013 were turned down because the DfE said they did not comply with the law.
But the current plans put forward by Weald of Kent girls' grammar school are believed to have met the criteria.
If approved, the annexe could pave the way for more grammars to open satellite campuses.
General secretary of the National Union of Teachers, Christine Blower, has previously called the plans for grammar school expansion "yet another unnecessary distraction".
It's a global dance craze born out of US hip-hop culture that's swept the world over the last year.
