Recently, a video clip circulating on social media featuring a group of young women dancing and chanting in the office has gone viral, attracting negative commentary and raising a debate about Gen Z becoming “cringe”. Let's delve into this trend which has divided netizens.

Where Did The Gen Z Boss And A Mini video originate from?

The Gen Z boss and a mini video were posted by a beauty company called TBH Skincare on social media. The video features a group of young women chanting in a circle, taking turns to describe their characteristics. The way the women in the video sang to describe their characteristics was inspired by the "boots and a slicked back bun" meme that recently went viral on TikTok.

The trend ultimately led to the Gen Z Boss And A Mini which went viral following massive backlash of Gen Zs being labelled as "cringe" by netizens, which happened after the video was posted. The video faced a roasting on social media, with critics ridiculing it for its cringeworthy and corporate tone.
