2019 was a banner year for aliens — from the "Storm Area 51" Facebook event to the good memes to the surprisingly wholesome Alienstock event —989? ??? ??? ??it seems that some of us wondered what all the fuss was about.
On Wednesday, Google released its annual Year in Search roundup, which revealed, among other things, that people were veryinterested in Disney+ and Baby Yoda. But internet culture drove a lot of searches this year, too: Terms related to Area 51, for instance, appeared in four of Google's highlighted search categories.

"Where is Area 51" also appeared at number 3 in the "Where is" category.
"Clap alien cheeks" was not ranked in any category, which is disappointing.
Teen culture was also a clear driver of search this year, particularly in the "Outfit ideas" category. Four of the top five terms — "eboy outfit," "egirl outfit," "soft girl outfit," and "VSCO girl outfit" — are all common tropes. The fifth ("biker shorts outfit"), while not an archetype in the same way, fits right in. There are a lot of bike shorts on TikTok.
