Vine refers to a short, looping video that was created and shared using the now-defunct Vine app, a video-sharing platform launched in 2013 and later acquired by Twitter. Each Vine was limited to six seconds, forcing users to get creative, punchy, and often hilarious. These bite-sized clips exploded in popularity for their quick comedy, relatable moments, and surreal edits, becoming a cultural phenomenon, especially among teens and young adults.
Though Vine officially shut down in 2017, its impact on Internet humor, meme culture, and short-form video is still felt today. For example, the format eventually paved the way for today’s short video platforms like TikTok, Instagram Reels, and YouTube Shorts.
Also, many early Vine stars (like King Bach, Lele Pons, and David Dobrik) parlayed their success into YouTube and TikTok careers. Now, the word “vine” has become the official shorthand for any iconic short video, and people still refer to old favorites as “classic vines.”
