Social media is currently buzzing with a new trend called the Gen Z Boss and a Min trend, started by the skincare brand TBH Skincare. The trend began with a viral video posted on Instagram by the brand on July 10, 2024. The video is about a group of women standing in a circle, taking turns to sing a line describing their features and characteristics. The catchy lines in the video go like this: Gen Z boss and a mini. Itty bitty t*tties and a bob. 5 foot 3 inches and an attitude. Secret pouch and a trench. New Frank Green and a sneaky link. Fake tan hands and a hoop.
What Is The Gen Z Boss And A Mini Trend
According to reports, this chant by the Gen Z women was inspired by the boots and a slicked-back bun meme that originated on TikTok. The original meme was posted by a user and showed three women dancing and singing while describing their outfits. This meme first appeared on social media on June 29, 2024, and quickly gained popularity.
How Did It Originate
The video posted by TBH Skincare quickly went viral, amassing over 5.3 million views in just five days. The popularity of the video has split social media users into two camps: some are loving the new Gen Z boss trend, while others find it cringeworthy. The viral nature of the video has sparked a lot of discussions online. Some commentators have suggested that the video represents the decline of Gen Z, implying that they have aged into what is often mocked as cringy millennials.
Why Is It Trending And Receiving Backlash
For the unversed, millennials have often been mocked by Gen Z for their habits and obsessions with things like Harry Potter, Taylor Swift, and The Office. The millennials are also known for using terms like doggos and puppers to refer to dogs and trying to be cuter. The tables have turned, as some believe that Gen Z might be starting to portray similar behaviours, leading to a shift, where Gen Z is being seen as out-of-touch. The Gen Z Boss and a Mini trend is a good example of how quickly trends can spread and evolve on social media. What started as a fun, catchy chant inspired by a TikTok meme has turned into a viral sensation, sparking debates and discussions across the internet. Whether you find it fun or cringeworthy, there’s no denying that this trend has been the centre of attention of millions and has become a significant part of the current social media landscape.
