Another day, another TikTok trend. In recent months, songs like Lizzo’s “About Damn Time” and Jack Harlow’s “First Class” have inspired catchy dance challenges. Now the latest track to take over the platform is Wheatus’ 2000 single “Teenage Dirtbag.” Yes, you read that right. A 22-year-old song has gone viral.
An accelerated version of the song sets to music videos of celebrities showing old photos from their “teenage scumbag” days. These videos begin with the person looking at the camera as the end of the first verse plays. Once the song’s chorus kicks in, a slideshow of throwback photos pops up on screen to show how much they’ve changed over the years.
As of August 25, over 635,000 videos featuring Wheatus’ single have been shared on TikTok. In fact, the trend has become so big that even celebrities like Lady Gaga, Demi Lovato, Lil Nas X and Joe Jonas have jumped on board.
