DEEP DIVE

The “Y’all Were Raised By Karens? I Was Raised By” trend on TikTok sees creators showcasing their parents through a series of videos and photos. These TikToks are meant to be amusing as they reveal parents who possess bright personalities in contrast to the angry demeanor exhibited by Karens.

This trend is performed to Sohodolls’ “Bang Bang Bang Bang.” There are over 72,000 videos using the audio, many of which are part of this trend.

Lyrics:

Manic sister thinks I’m cracking
Brother says it’s in my genes

[Chorus]
Don’t you want to?
Don’t you want to be the one?
Don’t you want to?
Bang bang bang bang bang bang bang

The trend has seen some truly colorful parents. @nyc1997’s video features her mother Jeni, who is a lawyer. Judging by these video clips, she enjoys her life both in and out of the courtroom. The TikTok garnered over 1.6 million likes.
