Foppish?

I was just looking at this google hot trends thing, and Foppish, is, at the time of this posting, the most searched word on google.
WTF?
Did I miss something?
I must have, I miss just about everything.
Here is what foppish is defined as by dictionary.com:


I particauly love when definitions use the word itself in the definition, as in above.
So what is a fop?

"Fop became a pejorative term for a foolish man over-concerned with his appearance and clothes in 17th century England." (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fop)

Perhaps the best part of this little search thing was the discovery of THIS amazing tidbit at the bottom of the wiki page:
"FOP ROCK- A more recent and minor trend is "fop-rock," in which the performers don 18th century wigs, lace cravats, and similar costumes to perform, a minor movement that would appear to owe something to glam rock, visual kei, and the New Romantic movement.
Fop Rock: Fop out with your lace out.
