A new TikTok trend called ‘Indigo’ has grown popular recently and captivated many users of the video-sharing site. Accordingly, many people are wondering what this trend is and what it entails, and seem curious to know if the trend is simple to partake in and what is its significance.
Here is everything we have learned about the ‘Indigo’ TikTok trend.
‘Indigo’ trend on TikTok explained
The ‘Indigo’ trend on TikTok sees users reminisce over a time when they were happy and fulfilled until a tragedy, such as a loved one’s death, crushed that happiness.
The videos feature the audio of the song “Indigo” by Sam Barber. In the clips, users show happy times with their loved ones while the lyrics “I used to shine bright like gold,” play in the background. This is then followed by the user shown being solemn, feeling empty, and emotional following their loved one’s demise as “Now I’m all indigo,” is heard.
For example, here is a user‘s clip showcasing the good times she had with her boyfriend and how she is completely empty and bereaved following his passing.
Further, the trend has also extended to users who have not necessarily suffered the loss of a loved one but have suffered a tragic event that ruined their daily happiness and normal functioning. For instance, one user shared how she used to be happy and energetic, and enjoyed playing with kids until the loss of one of his legs wiped away the happiness and smile from his face.
Alternatively, some users have also done a reverse of the trend. They showed how they were initially broken, upset, and depressed but found happiness and joy through an external positive factor. For instance, a user posted a clip in which she can be seen being sad and unhappy until she found the love of her life and had children with him.
Indigo is said to be a color of introspection and justice.
The Indigo trend is one among several trends blowing up heavily on TikTok as of late. The other trends gaining popularity include Pretending I Got Into Harvard and Grape Theory.
