Lorde's 'Man of the Year' TikTok trend has gained traction by helping users express grievances with past toxic relationships online. In what feels like the Gen Z Pandora's Box, creators are posting videos sharing negative experiences with their ex-partners. Plus, most of the content following this trend comes with receipts.
Most of the videos start with the creator's selfie. It then follows a slideshow format revealing a series of text messages, voice notes, etc. While the song itself is about gender identity, the trend has seen to it that the lyrics are misunderstood.
