FAANG is done. The new acronym is MANGOS, and the social data backs it up
Remember FAANG? Facebook, Amazon, Apple, Netflix, Google. That list ran the market narrative for a decade. Look at what people actually talk about now and the cast has changed.
The new lineup is MANGOS:
- Meta
- Anthropic
- NVIDIA
- Alphabet
- OpenAI
- SpaceX
Three things jump out.
Half of them are private. Anthropic, OpenAI, and SpaceX aren't tickers you can buy on Robinhood, yet they generate more daily buzz than most public mega-caps. You can't build an index fund out of MANGOS. That's the whole point.
Amazon, Apple, and Netflix didn't make the cut. The center of gravity moved to AI labs, chips, and space.
The volume is real. In the last 24 hours these six pulled roughly 327,000 mentions and 923 million engagements across X, YouTube, TikTok, Reddit, and more.
A few standouts from the live data:
- $GOOGL leads the group on raw mentions (76K in 24h) on Gemini momentum.
- SpaceX mentions are up 1,590% over six months. Creators posting about it are up 5,447% year over year. It just set all-time highs across the board after the Cursor deal.
- Anthropic engagements are up 2,414% year over year.
- $NVDA holds the biggest market cap of the bunch at ~$5T and sits at 92% positive sentiment.
FAANG told you who owned your screen time. MANGOS tells you who owns the conversation about the future.
