As a result, we’ve arrived at a strange moment for the hashtag. The people at Twitter are fond of saying that the hashtag is the new URL — and it’s true that you’re just as likely to see the former as the latter these days on-screen at the end of a movie trailer. Yet the rise of the hashtag’s commercial possibilities shouldn’t lead us to overlook what is truly remarkable about it. This bit of utilitarian Web ephemera, invented with functionality squarely in mind, has blossomed into a marvelous and underappreciated literary device.

For anyone who

has been irked by the more irritating examples in circulation —#awkward, #winning and #fail all come to mind — these literary pretensions may sound lofty. You’re unlikely to spot much wordplay in the “trending topics” highlighted on Twitter, where the hashtags tend to be event-driven: #Steelers, #Halloween, #WalkingDead. Occasionally you’ll also see a form known as “the Mad Lib hashtag”: Trending topics like #IWannaKnowWhy or #willgetyouslapped, which are basically punch lines in search of crowd-sourced setups. These hashtags tend to generate a ton of response, turning Twitter into a giant slumber-party game, where half the guests get a little too earnest (#Iwannaknowwhy my boyfriend doesn’t love me) and half just make class-clown cracks (#IWannaKnowWhy girls actually want boyfriends. . . . Trust me, they suck). But the hashtag, for the dexterous user, is a versatile tool — one that can be deployed in a host of linguistically complex ways. In addition to serving as metadata (#whatthetweetisabout), the hashtag gives the writer the opportunity to comment on his own emotional state, to sarcastically of evocative imagery or to deliver metaphors with striking economy. It’s a device that allows the best writers to operate in multiple registers at once, in a compressed space. It’s the Tuvan throat singing of the Internet.

Consider the power that mass media still retain over the Twitterverse. When an earthquake struck Virginia in 2011, Twitter had a

minutes. But Mother Nature has nothing on the N.B.A. During this year’s slam-dunk contest, the organizers asked viewers to vote for the best dunks using the hashtag #spriteslam. The term was tweeted 50,000 times in two minutes after This, we might argue, is the dark side of the hashtag. TV shows now post hashtags after buzzworthy events: When the “New Girl” character Schmidt thought he might have impregnated his girlfriend, FOX slammed the hashtag #schmidtbaby on-screen. Before long, it was trending. The late, lamented Washington Nationals pushed #natitude this season; a friend reports seeing a Nats fan at a game who, after observing a home run, dutifully tapped the hashtag out on his phone and tweeted it into the wild. Even our president (or whoever tweets for him) has gotten in on the game, nudging #Romnesia to the top of the charts as his account encouraged supporters to tweet jokes about Mitt Romney “forgetting” previous — and contrary — positions.

For this, of course, we can thank Twitter. Five years ago, Twitter’s users invented what’s now known as the hashtag: a pithy phrase, preceded by that hungry octothorpe, used to either label or comment on the preceding tweet. (Pretend this sentence is a tweet. #thiswouldbethehashtag.) In the early days, hashtags were primarily functional — a way of categorizing tweets by topic so that members of the Twittersphere could follow conversations of interest to them by

and so on.

proposed by the user Chris Messina, was intended to collate conversations about the tech conference BarCamp, so the hashtag was #barcamp. Other tags in the early days served as straightforward metadata, directing people to tweets about news,

Over time, though, the hashtag has evolved into something else — a form that allows for humor, darkness, wordplay and, yes, even poetry. During this same period, Twitter as a corporation recognized the power of the hashtag, which has now become a part of the site’s design, lingo and sales pitch to advertisers. Your particular hashtag, for example, can let the whole world know who’s talking about the release of #Halo4.

may choke out the more organic “indie” hashtags. And there will be a disincentive for the cleverest minds of Twitter to continue to experiment with them as a form. At a certain point, appending a hashtag to a post might simply make it look like an ad. (There were recent reports of a TV show to be called “#Resistance” — complete with hashtag — which seems like a bald attempt to hop the latest social media bandwagon.) But the potential for this kind of abuse is all the more reason to advocate for and embrace the hashtag’s literary possibilities. Scholars have not yet given much attention to the linguistics of the hashtag. and the adoption of trends. So a hashtag that is not picked up by more than one user, that doesn’t spread, will most likely be considered a failure by computer scientists. teach a machine to identify sarcasm or other emotions in tweets. Usefully, the academy has also produced several studies of how Twitter is used at academic conferences. But scholars have not yet given these outlier hashtags a close read gery — the most singular instances of linguistic brilliance — are often undiscovered or unnoticed gems.
