RWBY became a trend because a lot of people have been talking about it in chat, probably because of its finale that happened two or three weeks ago. More people have been watching the show and that. Maybe my battle with them may have made the show more popular for those that haven't watched it? that'd be cool but I doubt it.

Negan became a trend because TWD stirs up a TON of hype for its premieres and finales, and comic readers have been looking forward to seeing Negan in the show  for years now. The fact that it's finally happening has had the fans that love Negan use him as an avatar.

You can't just force something really, it will just happen based on the overall "hype" around something.
