Gen Z is taking a look back at their old (and very cringeworthy) social posts in a TikTok trend. Gen Z grew up on the internet and by now has spent years navigating trends and fads on social media. Now, the gen is “taking stock” and roasting themselves on TikTok by exposing some of their old Snapchat posts. The TikTok audio Real Music trending as users post videos sharing their cringey 2014-2017 era Snaps, airing their embarrassment at their middle school selves to the tune of millions of views. The trend is lighthearted commentary on how much social media has evolved. As one creator explains, “We’re also just laughing at ourselves, because the internet has changed so much and things that were once normal to post are now considered ‘cringe.’” (Wired)
