Oh, you didn't read the sticky. Here are some excerpts:

"As a team, we generally consider something a loop if it could fairly be described as a recent trend, meme, current event, notable occurrence, or a recent and inexplicable pattern of events or statements.

Maybe everyone is suddenly talking about that video game thing, or the funny thing a politician did; maybe they're all on about the latest South Park episode or what someone wore to the Grammys last night; even a trending Twitter hashtag could signify a loop.

Now that everyone is talking about it, you want the deets, the sitch, and the background info...because you're...you know...out of the loop.

Straightforward questions with straightforward answers are usually not loops!

Definitions, simple explanations, or further reading on general/widespread subjects are usually better suited for /r/nostupidquestions, /r/answers, or /r/explainlikeimfive."
