The "Reading Rainbow" trend on TikTok gives social media users a chance to highlight some of their foggiest brain moments ever. This is the perfect trend for people who know how to make fun of themselves without taking life too seriously. If you have a witty and slightly sarcastic sense of humor, it’s probably about time you hopped on the "Reading Rainbow" trend for yourself!
In this trend, users on TikTok are able to edit their faces into a floating position in front of an image of the blazing hot sun in a night sky filled with stars. After their face passes through the screen, an extremely complicated and difficult-looking math equation pops up front and center. All the while, the Reading Rainbow theme song plays in the background.
TikTokers who’ve ever been confused about different life scenarios are able to shed light on their general bewilderment.
One example comes from a user named @keepingonandup. Her video comes with a caption saying, “When you’re talking to someone and you can’t understand what they’re saying and they’ve already repeated themselves five times, so you just go with it." Nearly everyone can relate to that super awkward situation!
Another user named @bentelerski posted a video with a text box saying, “Sitting down in the library and looking at the essay prompt for the first time less than 24 hours before it is due.” Too many students can relate to the stress of that thought process during their high school or college years.
A third user on TikTok named @dub_frost posted a video with a caption saying, “When someone asks me, ‘What are your hobbies? What makes YOU happy?’” The reason this particular video is so relatable is that it somehow becomes really difficult to figure out what your interests are when someone puts you on the spot.
