TikTok, formerly known as Music.ly, is a social media platform that has quickly gained immense popularity worldwide. The app allows users to create, share, and view short videos. The portal's users range widely in age.
The portal often sees new trends and challenges emerge. These usually gain viral views. However, videos that evoke extreme emotions such as shock, outrage, or joy can also achieve high numbers. Controversial recordings from the regions of Russia are appearing on the app.
Russian youth have come up with a new trend
Nowadays, popularity plays a significant role in the lives of young people. Many teenagers love to grab the attention of internet users. They gain great satisfaction from viral reach or countless likes. That is why they are constantly coming up with new challenges and trends. Unfortunately, some of these can be quite foolish.
In some cities in Russia, the youth have chosen dumpster bins as their objects of interest. On the internet, a trend has emerged where teens run up to dumpsters and then, with great force, leap into the trash. Residents of the country are bewildered by this new form of "fun."
Internet users criticize russian youth
The trend above has been met with a not-so-positive response from internet users. A flood of critical comments is directed at Russian youth, some of which are quite biting. One Polish user of X pointed out another drawback of this unusual challenge. They mentioned a potential danger: "It's only a matter of time until someone gets stuck and dies crushed by a garbage truck."
