IT may seem that every time you scroll through social media there’s a new trend you need to get up to speed with.
Here’s everything you need to know about the “subtle foreshadowing” trend that has amassed millions of views on TikTok.
What is the meaning behind the “subtle foreshadowing” trend?
The social media platform’s latest trend sees its users splice a comical video, particularly a fail video.
What this means is they’ll chop up a video and add intermittent clips, prematurely revealing what happens at the end of a clip with multiple shots.
The series of shots serve as a disruptive spin on typical fail clips.
The repetitive, jarring edits shows the user the end result before it would naturally appear, making for disoriented viewing.
For example, a common take on the viral TikTok trend is people showing themselves walking normally before a loud bang is heard and they’re shown tripping.
In a regular clip, you wouldn’t see the trip until the end.
The “subtle” is ironic as the videos are often very dramatic and feature loud music.
It’s not the only internet trend that’s taken the internet by storm – rage-baiting is another one users may come across on TikTok and Instagram.
Have you come across a TikTok clip and got angry within seconds of viewing it?
Well there’s a reason for that – some content creators have been specifically engineering content to get you wound up.
TikTokers are purposefully provoking viewers to gain likes and increase their follower count.
Rage-baiting could be a customer having a go at a barista, a kid shouting at his mum – or even something as trivial as over-the-top makeup.
TikToker Rachel Madison Carlisle recently posted a clip talking viewers through her glam night out makeup routine, dousing herself with blush.
People were quick to call her out on the bizarre makeup application which saw her entire cheekbone area caked with hot pink blush.
Comments accused her of fishing for likes but Rachel insisted the video was a genuine recreation of her getting ready to go out on the town.
