Lookups spiked 5,800% on May 6, 2019, after the Met Gala

“Camp, or at least one sense of the word, had a decided moment in the spotlight on May 6th, 2019, due to the word featuring prominently in the title of the newly-opened fashion exhibit at the Metropolitan Museum of Art (and its subsequent gala event).

The Sontagian sense of camp referenced by the Met is one that we define as either “a style or mode of personal or creative expression that is absurdly exaggerated and often fuses elements of high and popular culture” or “something so outrageously artificial, affected, inappropriate, or out-of-date as to be considered amusing.”
