It's an ill defined question I suspect.
Graffiti was a breakthrough in art. (1970's, we all know it existed somewhat in Pompeii)
I guess it's a area were there is an obvious change that's happened and it's good for that field and it doesn't need proving because it's obvious and didn't use the scientific method to bring about the change.
Urber showed it was possible for a company to break corrupt monopolies and break BS government regulations if consumers wanted your product enough. Is a current example I guess? Trump style politics is another. Meme fanaticism is a new field.
Else, finance is not STEM, blockchain is a break through and we are talking what we always talk about. Internet allows non-STEM to train and communicate blah blah blah....
