Well-baited, it got me looking.
Google books' suggests it's already been around in the 1800s, though used rarely (2 pages of search results for that century). However, I don't know how big their 1800s corpus is, so massive grain of salt there.
But the word seems to really pick up in the 1980s, and then have a massive resurgence around 2014.
Ignore the messed up layout, I have no idea what's going on there.
