What is the definition of the word craze?

Answer 1

Craze is defined as having an enthusiasm for a particular thing, event or situation that typically achieves high popularity but is short-lived. Having a "craze" over something could also mean that someone is obsessed or even insane over something such as a "one hit wonder" song from a particular music band. While that particular song was very popular and people became "crazed" over it, it was short lived and thus, loses popularity quickly.

Answer 2

The popularity of the 'hula hoop' went virally global in the late (nineteen) fifties. That was a craze.
