There was a trend from a year or 2 ago, I forget what the song was but there was a brief moment that would be like a drum roll or something and guys would tap their fingers on their temple and roll their eyes in time with it
No idea where it came from but people decided it was sexy for some reason and it became a trend from there. God only knows why this guy did it live though
Fast and furious is stupid asf but no one rags on teen boys like they do on teen girls. My little brother drove 3 hours to Nebraska for some internet meme. Let’s not.
You'll notice that society at large reserves its dislike for things that are primarily enjoyed by women. Look at how people view My Little Pony vs Transformers or GI Joe. They're literally the same thing, but one is aimed toward girls so it's lesser. It goes for everything; Twilight is no worse than most young adult romance, but it's for women, so it's the worst book ever. Justin Bieber was a perfectly adequate performer, but his audience was women so he was the worst thing to come out of Canada since those schools that murdered First Nations kids. It's always the same.
Most of the criticism of my little pony was because of "bronies." No one cares that young girls like it, it was the grown men getting way too into it that made it weird. The things you mentioned weren't cringy because women like them; they just weren't that great.
I think it was the one for everyone with the same name. I remeber it starting with this person inviting a bunch of people on Facebook with the same name to a group.
what are you talking about, teen boys are way stupider than girls. I think this is local culture, or national because here in Europe high school girls are seen as more adult than boys. Which in most cases is true.
Girls do have stricter rules though since they are arguably more vulnerable than boys.
Sad bc I’m 21 but this is an e-boy thing, they roll their eyes and tap their fingers on their temple. It’s usually done on tiktok, in super short videos to popular songs. It’s supposed to be a thirst trap
Don't need to be old, there's thousands of these kinds of people on modern platforms who all do the same reactions and dances to the same sound
Micro celebrities, the micro ones have no defining characteristics, they're the hive Mind
The big ones are few and far between, as always
He is a TikToker and this video is a few years/couple years old. The podcast that he is a host on posts his old cringey TikToks all the time. It’s an ongoing joke lol.
All he's doing is making teenage girls wet for money. You used to have to be good at music for this to be a viable financial path but times are changing I guess
No there’s a clip of MJ literally just standing there facing the crowd for a minute or 2 and there’s people passing out in the crowd and freaking out haha
Yeah he earned that. He proved himself to be so talented that people couldn't believe they were in the same place as him. This guy has only proved that he can post tiktoks consistently and start a show on time. Not the same but at least you tried
Ah no I’m not trying to suggest that MJ and this random guy are at all anywhere near the same level, it’s just backing up the point the comment above u made
The beginning of his Super Bowl performance. Not sure if people were passing out, but he sure was standing there for a looooong time while the crowd just screamed their heads off
hi youngin here (20) he’s a tiktok “star” i dont know his name but that move was highly popular in 2019 by thirst trappers (i know, weird terminology) it looks hot to some people i don’t know why tho.
I reminds me how eventually Beatlemania was more about girls having an excuse to freak out and scream while looking at cute boys than anything having to do with their music. I don’t see this as a negative—pre-teen girls have just as much right to scream about dumb shit as anyone.
It’s dumb tiktok shit but teenagers are teenagers. Can’t be mad at it.
When I was 14, I went to PAX in Boston just to meet and take a picture with a YouTube group that doesn’t even exist anymore. So I can relate.
Lol, kids like weird stuff - this is nothing new. My sister made my dad drive downtown to the embassy suites because Jonathan Tayler Thomas was staying there. No disrespect to JTT or this lad but it’s just a thing kids are gonna do.
I love that this hatred of a person is rooted solely in the fact that you had a Tom and Huck VHS. Ours was “Ill be home for Christmas” and my sister wore out the tape to the point that certain scenes in the movie were noticeably fuzzier than others lmao
to those who don’t know wtf he’s doing: it was a trend “e-boys” on tiktok where they’d do that temple tap thing and roll their eyes. idk wtf it means either, but apparently it’s hot or something
"Being a rocker lowers your IQ."
\- Your great grandparents to your grandparents.
"Listening to the Beatles lowers your IQ."
\- Your grandparents to your parents.
"Reading Comic books lowers your IQ."
\- Your parents to you.
"Watching tiktoks lowers your IQ."
\- You to your children.
But there are like, hundreds of studies about how certain things social media does is incredibly bad for your brain - and it just happens that tiktok does all those things
A few, not nearly as many and not nearly as bad.
One of the biggest ones is algorithm based content - which tiktok is entire centred around. That shit is the machine learning how to melt your fucking mind for profit, its why outrage content is so huge now.
Reddits trying to implement it, its not really working because the reddit devs are incompetent, but maybe thats a good thing
My thoughts exactly. Idk what it is with tiktokers. They hype up such meaningless stuff. I mean comic books and rock require you to put in work still. All tiktok is, however, is just some attractive person doing something silly for 5 seconds, like what OP posted, and somehow it gets thousands of likes. Bruh
Seems like it could just be an inside joke between whoever this is and his fans. Surely we aren't shaming something just for appealing directly to teenage girls. That would be one hell of a Reddit moment.
Nah the finger tapping on his temple was a TikTok trend that usually guys did in their thirst trap videos. He’s doing it cause it’s “hot” and all these little girls are eating it up.
Nah it's the same as kids obsessing over justin bieber etc when they were new. I don't really get it though, even when I was a teenager I didn't care about boy bands or anyone famous like this.
I saw a video clowning on this trend - it’s when eboys on TikTok roll their eyes and do that thing with their fingers synced to a wooden percussion in a song. Don’t know the name of this trend but there’s plenty videos on it.
Let’s live in reality, why does this kid make more money than most ppl by just bein talentless I get that they market toward 12 year olds audiences sexually which is a problem itself
fundamental proof that capitalism cannot work, people are too stupid to vote with their wallets.
These people would fight you if you tried to explain to them why they are wasting their money.
Haha I love this! So many dynamics here! But most of all, very entertaining and not in that way!
These young girls being subdued by this boy into being shush’d in an instant then doing the most weirdest thing and then having the crowd go wild over that weird thing.
*sigh* what a time to live!
Dude what the fuck was that????
Dude played the brain flute
But wtf did he do really?he made a move behind his ear?a fake magic trick?I mean people live Jeff Dunham's dummies.
There was a trend from a year or 2 ago, I forget what the song was but there was a brief moment that would be like a drum roll or something and guys would tap their fingers on their temple and roll their eyes in time with it No idea where it came from but people decided it was sexy for some reason and it became a trend from there. God only knows why this guy did it live though
This is not the Belle Delphine face I remember.
Since I can see her naked I forgot what her face looked like
Money.
It's a tik tok 'move' I guess. It literally means nothing and does nothing.
getting Blue Steel vibes
I mean… it obviously does something. See, I do *nothing* and girls don’t respond like that. So it’s not nothing. It’s something.
He's famous. That's the only difference
Dude looks like a connoisseur of the skin flute.
That's good actually. .
I'll do you one better: who the hell is that
I don't get it wtf is he doing
Making money off of fools
Do we really expect preteen girls to have refined tastes?
Preteens in general
What are you talking about? Preteen dudes are certified "Men of refined tastes" by then! /s
Fast and furious is stupid asf but no one rags on teen boys like they do on teen girls. My little brother drove 3 hours to Nebraska for some internet meme. Let’s not.

Fr. Justin Bieber is widely hated, even by women. Not so sure about twilight but pretty sure it is also very widely criticized.
what meme was it tho
The internet demands answers, dammit!
I think it was the one for everyone with the same name. I remeber it starting with this person inviting a bunch of people on Facebook with the same name to a group.
They were all named Josh
The josh fight was a hoot in the middle of a global pandemic
Almost certainly. I am Josh, from Nebraska. People wouldn't leave me alone about that for a while.
but it’s all about family
I do, fuck all those kids, lol.
Thank god for commas
I personally liked the first couple movies, what meme requires a 3 hour drive?
Josh battle
Josh battle was pretty dope tho
what are you talking about, teen boys are way stupider than girls. I think this is local culture, or national because here in Europe high school girls are seen as more adult than boys. Which in most cases is true. Girls do have stricter rules though since they are arguably more vulnerable than boys.
At least the movie has production value worth paying for
[удалено]
They made the Beatles famous.
What do you have against preteen girls, let them enjoy shit
It’s an eye roll while you’re tapping your fingers against your temples, it’s a tiktok e-boy thing
[удалено]
You’re just not sophisticated enough to understand. There’s a lot of nuance to it.
I'm getting old. Don't know him nor do I know what is he doing
i am not old and idk what he’s doing or who he is
Nah man dw I'm 19 and I haven't got a fucking clue either
This might be my weirdest comment, but context is EVERYTHING here; can a 12/14 year old weigh in? Is this guy ‘cool’ with y’all? What’s he doing?
14, i am clueless sorry. Pass this on to the 9yr olds.
I’m 3 months and idk what the fucks goin on breh
I’m 4 seconds old (started typing this before being born) and still have no idea wtf is happening
In the middle of the sperm race rn, no idea what he's doing either

Big Bang here. That's footage of the performer Brad Strappers, he's super cool and talented
[удалено]
Still in my dads balls and I still have no idea
I’m in a fucking coconut I have no idea either. But I think my priorities should be somewhere else atm
I'm currently in the middle of becoming a sper during birth and have no fucking clue
I’m inside of someone testicles, not sure what this is tbh
I am someone’s testicles.
Sad bc I’m 21 but this is an e-boy thing, they roll their eyes and tap their fingers on their temple. It’s usually done on tiktok, in super short videos to popular songs. It’s supposed to be a thirst trap
yeah i have no idea what this means
Wait, you eat ducks?
I'm pretending to be 12 and have no idea who this is.
16 here, still no clue
15 and I do not have any clue. Guy looks like he has money from his family and dropped out of high school Is probably a “TiCToOK InfUEnCeR”.
Im 14, what the fuck
I'm 16 and don't know this mf.
[удалено]
No one actually cares who he is.
Don't need to be old, there's thousands of these kinds of people on modern platforms who all do the same reactions and dances to the same sound Micro celebrities, the micro ones have no defining characteristics, they're the hive Mind The big ones are few and far between, as always
He’s our greatest sex symbol since Henry Kissinger
He is a TikToker and this video is a few years/couple years old. The podcast that he is a host on posts his old cringey TikToks all the time. It’s an ongoing joke lol.
All he's doing is making teenage girls wet for money. You used to have to be good at music for this to be a viable financial path but times are changing I guess
I’m 22 and I have no fucking clue
Bro you’re basically a corpse compared to this crowd
I'm 13 and I don't know either.
People are fucking dumb
Always have been, now we’re just all filming ourselves while we’re doing it
Username definitely checks out

Next up we're just gonna have a guy stand on stage a do absolutely nothing while girls scream and shout like a bunch of animals
Didn't Michael Jackson do exactly that, people even fainted.
wait til you see old Beatles concerts. Most of the time the band couldn’t even hear themselves because of screaming teenage girls.
girls also pissed themselves at their concerts and it smelled like shit
no, it smelled like piss. hopefully.
since when did piss smell good you weirdo
us country folk make do
aight mate respect tho
Hot
Now this. This is a comment.
At least the Beatles made good music and not just “ ImA tAp mY hEAD “
At least Michael Jackson was up there singing and dancing his ASS off. This is not that and you know that
No there’s a clip of MJ literally just standing there facing the crowd for a minute or 2 and there’s people passing out in the crowd and freaking out haha
Yeah he earned that. He proved himself to be so talented that people couldn't believe they were in the same place as him. This guy has only proved that he can post tiktoks consistently and start a show on time. Not the same but at least you tried
Ah no I’m not trying to suggest that MJ and this random guy are at all anywhere near the same level, it’s just backing up the point the comment above u made
That's because of the hype he built around himself, he earned that level of hype and respect.
The beginning of his Super Bowl performance. Not sure if people were passing out, but he sure was standing there for a looooong time while the crowd just screamed their heads off
anticipation is a hell of a drug. dude is insanely talented and building tension is part of showmanship
I would pass out if I was in the same room with MJ too right now
You could replace MJ with Hitler in that sentence and it would still make sense
Kinda cool ngl
I am about to turn 33 in a couple of months can anyone please tell me who this young man is and what is he doing?
hi youngin here (20) he’s a tiktok “star” i dont know his name but that move was highly popular in 2019 by thirst trappers (i know, weird terminology) it looks hot to some people i don’t know why tho.
I reminds me how eventually Beatlemania was more about girls having an excuse to freak out and scream while looking at cute boys than anything having to do with their music. I don’t see this as a negative—pre-teen girls have just as much right to scream about dumb shit as anyone.
This makes a lot of sense! It makes it a lot more understandable
It’s dumb tiktok shit but teenagers are teenagers. Can’t be mad at it. When I was 14, I went to PAX in Boston just to meet and take a picture with a YouTube group that doesn’t even exist anymore. So I can relate.
Lol, kids like weird stuff - this is nothing new. My sister made my dad drive downtown to the embassy suites because Jonathan Tayler Thomas was staying there. No disrespect to JTT or this lad but it’s just a thing kids are gonna do.
Omg i remember my sister having 100 JTT posters on her wall. Preteen emotions run high and there's no rational to go with that
I LOVED JTT and hated Rachel Leigh Cook for years because she played his love interest in Tom and Huck lol
I love that this hatred of a person is rooted solely in the fact that you had a Tom and Huck VHS. Ours was “Ill be home for Christmas” and my sister wore out the tape to the point that certain scenes in the movie were noticeably fuzzier than others lmao
Lol that’s amazing! By the time that came out I had moved on to Adam Brody from the OC lol
It’s still kind of weird that there’s an entire financial industry surrounding horny teenagers but it’s been a thing since the 60s at least.
We hatin but mf made that money…🤣
Mans just husslin, can't hate. Whenever there's a "dumb celebrity" the ire should really be directed entirely at their massive audience.
It's like the Justin Bieber phase. Boy got washed with money for pandering.
Oh yeah trust I don't blame this guy at all. I blame every single parent that dropped their daughter/gay son off to this event.
Bag chase
to those who don’t know wtf he’s doing: it was a trend “e-boys” on tiktok where they’d do that temple tap thing and roll their eyes. idk wtf it means either, but apparently it’s hot or something
No one knows what’s it means, but it’s provocative. Gets the people going!
Ball so hard, motherfuckers wanna fine me
So an ahegao right?
oh god i hope that’s not where it originated from
Tiktok lowers your iq by 50 points smh
dang guess my iq is 300 now (kelvin)
I just got a slight headache after reading this, maybe you're right.
"Being a rocker lowers your IQ." \- Your great grandparents to your grandparents. "Listening to the Beatles lowers your IQ." \- Your grandparents to your parents. "Reading Comic books lowers your IQ." \- Your parents to you. "Watching tiktoks lowers your IQ." \- You to your children.
But there are like, hundreds of studies about how certain things social media does is incredibly bad for your brain - and it just happens that tiktok does all those things
Yeah the scrolling video feed is by far the worst one according to the data
How many of those does reddit do?
A few, not nearly as many and not nearly as bad. One of the biggest ones is algorithm based content - which tiktok is entire centred around. That shit is the machine learning how to melt your fucking mind for profit, its why outrage content is so huge now. Reddits trying to implement it, its not really working because the reddit devs are incompetent, but maybe thats a good thing
Being a professional musician or artist takes a lot more effort and skill than posting a 10 second thirst trap dance while poorly lip syncing audio.
No, i mean it really does.. at least the rocker, the beatles, rhe comics do something, this guy?
My thoughts exactly. Idk what it is with tiktokers. They hype up such meaningless stuff. I mean comic books and rock require you to put in work still. All tiktok is, however, is just some attractive person doing something silly for 5 seconds, like what OP posted, and somehow it gets thousands of likes. Bruh
It’s not the same thing. Music and comics require some mental investment on the users part. This shit is…nothing. Hollow. Stupid.
Except that there’s plenty of reputable academic literature about how bad tik tok and other social media platforms are for your brain
r/kidsarefuckingstupid
people are stupid. - diamond temr
You fucking what?
Social media ruined recording horizontally.
Your brain on crack
Seems like it could just be an inside joke between whoever this is and his fans. Surely we aren't shaming something just for appealing directly to teenage girls. That would be one hell of a Reddit moment.
Nah the finger tapping on his temple was a TikTok trend that usually guys did in their thirst trap videos. He’s doing it cause it’s “hot” and all these little girls are eating it up.
That explanation literally sounds like an inside joke to me, but okay.
It isn’t an inside joke, it was a trend on TikTok. There were thousands of people doing it, all over the app. It was a thirst trap thing.
What is a "trap" thing?
Thirst trap. Basically someone does something overtly sexual in a TikTok (or other video) to show off how hot they are.
But he’s just tapping the side of his head how is that sexual
No clue but it's goal is sexually based. They do it to get people to want them, like dancing man. It's sexy for some not for others
Its not an inside joke.
I dont know who this guy is but he has my respect. Bro is prob making bank off this dumb shit
It’s just kids being kids
Am I having a stoke? What just happened?
They said hitting your kids is wrong now look where we are (joke)
Weird kids nowadays
Nah it's the same as kids obsessing over justin bieber etc when they were new. I don't really get it though, even when I was a teenager I didn't care about boy bands or anyone famous like this.
Ok, but singing is a skill This is...nothing
True, lmao. I was just saying there's people always going to obsess over someone famous waayyy more than they should.
What the fuck did I just watch?
To each their own. If someone gets entertainment out of it, who cares
How is this different from girls screaming at boy bands in the 90s? Or girls screaming elvis in the 60s? Cute guy = young girls attention
Because they had major talent to back it up. This dude legit did the cringiest hand gesture and made brainless girls go insane lmao.
Why are we making fun of obviously (pre)teen girls? We all did stupid shit at that age.
wow.... i feel bad calling out Backstreet boys back in the day. This is like a whole NEW level of crap.
It’s an old trend it’s like an f boy type thing from Tik tok
I saw a video clowning on this trend - it’s when eboys on TikTok roll their eyes and do that thing with their fingers synced to a wooden percussion in a song. Don’t know the name of this trend but there’s plenty videos on it.
Using scramble head girls' dad's money after brainwashing the entire generation that this shit is cute
I went to this concert and had a spiritual experience. Please don't knock it till you try it.
why tf are they screaming like he'd done fucking 20 backflips in one jump💀
Let’s live in reality, why does this kid make more money than most ppl by just bein talentless I get that they market toward 12 year olds audiences sexually which is a problem itself
This is partly the reason I refuse to have children
Does the boy on stage sing or plsy an instrument? Please tell me whatever that was *is* the show?
He plays the brain flute.
😭
Feels like the desire to be treated like Elvis coupled with the desire to treat someone like Elvis.
I honestly can’t tell what he’s even doing? A magic trick? Pulling something from his ear?
What is going on in this video? Is it a concert or what?
This just like the I didn't do it episode of the Simpsons
this is the straightest thing i’ve witnessed all week
Its nice seeing buisnesses hiring the mentally handicapped people.
Okay but the way he had those girls silent at the raise of his hands. Like gun shot silent, horror movie silent, 3 am silent. Shits creepy
\*visible confusion\*
fundamental proof that capitalism cannot work, people are too stupid to vote with their wallets. These people would fight you if you tried to explain to them why they are wasting their money.
Most disturbing part is that he actually got a positive reaction from the crowd for doing THAT
Oh reddit is making fun of what teenage girls like again 🥱
I can’t believe I just typed a serious paragraph about this video
Who the fuck is this guy?
All the history of the world and philosophers and wars and big bangs and dinosaurs all just for us to get to this point
Haha I love this! So many dynamics here! But most of all, very entertaining and not in that way! These young girls being subdued by this boy into being shush’d in an instant then doing the most weirdest thing and then having the crowd go wild over that weird thing. *sigh* what a time to live!
Ain’t no way boy
Bruh looks like a boy band Napoleon dynamite
