You know that something’s caught on once Facebook tries to copy it.

So you know, hashtags are a very big deal.

Everyone’s creating them. Though it’s not entirely clear why they’re creating them. Is it to summarize something they’ve just said? Is it in the hope that someone else will admire the hashtag so much that they’ll use it in their own tweets?

Jimmy Fallon and Justin Timberlake think it’s all gone too far. It’s #notbringingsexyback.

So on “Late Night with Jimmy Fallon,” Fallon and Timberlake attempted a conversation with hashtags being spoken out loud.
