Which types of champions go top?

So I've asked a question similar to this, but I still don't fully understand which types of champions go top lane. I've googled it, but most of the answers were from 2, if not more, years ago. They said that top-laners should be a tank/fighter. But while I've been playing and watching League youtube videos, I've also seen some APC's go top. Why is that? Or can any champion go top?

Thanks in advance! :)
