How it spread

Trace the origin

Nine rhyming projects offered separate cultural entry points. Their microsites linked to one another and a Mailchimp hub. VeilHymn’s video publicity still omitted the sponsor on February 8, letting music coverage precede the brand explanation.

Documented milestone; not a measured attention peak. Dates use the stated precision; chart positions are date anchors.
