In 2018, slime still reigned supreme on the app as ASMR videos became the top niche community on Instagram.
Autonomous Sensory Meridian Response (ASMR) videos tend to have a soothing effect on viewers, prompting their brains to release feel-good hormones and neurotransmitters, such as endorphins, serotonin and dopamine.
They often trigger a tingling sensation on the skin, simulating what might otherwise feel like 'pins and needles.'
These kinds of videos have taken Instagram and other social media platforms by storm in the past few years and 2018 was no different, with slime popping, soap cutting and makeup shaving among the most-popular videos in the ASMR community, Instagram said.

More than five million videos were tagged with #ASMR on Instagram this year.
When people weren't watching ASMR videos, many of them were uploading videos to compete in the #inmyfeelingschallenge.
Some 678,000 posts were uploaded to Instagram tagged with #inmyfeelingschallenge, as the dance craze captured the attention of regular users and celebrities alike, with Will Smith, DJ Khaled all uploading their own version of the viral video.
The dance takes its name from Drake's R&B hit of the same title and started when comedian Shiggy filmed himself dancing to the track on the side of the road.
It quickly took off after NFL player Odell Beckham filmed himself doing the dance while exiting a vehicle, leading to others recording their own dangerous versions from the perspective of someone driving an actual moving car.

The other trend that seems to have dominated every corner of the internet is Fortnite.
On Instagram it was no different, where #fortnite became the highest growth hashtag, racking up an astounding 14.8 million posts tagged with the name of the wildly popular battle royale game.
Fortnite has attracted some 200 million players to its platform in the last six months, but further cemented its viral status when users began recording themselves recreating the popular in-game emotes, such as the 'Swipe It' emote, which takes after the Milly Rock dance.
But it wasn't the only fandom that drove users crazy on Instagram.

To achieve her kick-ass figure, Hayden – who plays cheerleader Claire Bennet in Heroes – follows the ‘quartering’ rule. She eats only a quarter of the food on her plate, then waits 20 minutes before deciding whether she needs to eat again.
Hayden says: “I don’t have a model’s body, but I’m not one of those crazy girls who thinks that they’re fat. I’m OK with what I have.”
Nicollette says: “I don’t like diets – I see it, I eat it! I believe in eating healthily with lots of protein, vegetables and carbs to give you energy.”
