How it's used
Describes trends that are currently widespread or widely accepted by the public. It is frequently used to talk about fashion, music, or social behaviors that have gained significant traction. Unlike some other words for popular, it implies a sense of being current or trendy rather than just being well liked.
Examples
This style of sneakers is very popular right now.

Common mistake
Avoid using it to describe a person who is well liked by their peers, as that is better expressed using 受歡迎. Using it for a person sounds like they are a fashion trend themselves.
