The Brief: "I'm Erasing Myself From The Narrative" Hamilton Bonk TikToks sees creators making fun of their toxic behavior.
DEEP DIVE
TikTokers are lip-syncing to “Burn” from the Broadway musical Hamilton followed by a “bonk” noise to make fun of their messy habits and/or toxic behavior. Typically the creator decides they’ll abstain from a specific habit while singing, “I’m erasing myself from the narrative,” before the “bonk” resets them. They then return to their messy ways singing, “I put myself back in the narrative.” These videos are meant to be humorous.
