It’s a new buzzword taking over social media thanks to Gen Z, and it all started with a satirical video about makeup in the workplace.
TikTok user Jools LeBron posted her first video using the word demure on August 2, talking about her work look.
Do you see how I come to work? Very humble, very careful, she said, showing off her natural makeup look and straightened hair.
Let’s not forget to be humble, diva.
Demure is often a word used to refer to women who behave reserved, modest and shy.
It’s not the only video where she’s used the word, in fact it’s almost a series where the influencer talks about her humble actions where she jokes about how kind she is.
LeBron also showed her very humble attitude with her Cirque de Soleil demeanor, saying she didn’t rush out of her seat like everyone else to leave.
Although there have been debates over who started the trend, everyone agrees that it was Mrs. LeBron who made it explode.
Many believe this is an attempt to mock earlier trends, such as the clean-girl aesthetic, which saw women go out of their way to look clean without a hair out of place.
Now, other social media users have adopted the trend in a big way with almost 10,000 videos using the demure hashtag in the past week.
Singers Lizzo and SZA have lip-synced to Lebron’s original voice, while TV shows such as Gilmore Girls have chosen scenes from the play and described them as very humble.
But it is not only the big names that have fallen behind the satirical trend.
Whitney Simmons, who posts fitness content on the social media platform, posted a video of herself checking that the exercise bench wasn’t moving before starting her workout.
So you see how I triple check the bench, she said as she put the device in place, before cutting to the grips of people riding the bench and it collapsing on top of them.
She then repeatedly pushed him.
Very conscientious, very cute, very humble, she said.
Meanwhile, fellow social media user Campbell Puckett shared a video on how to eat a croissant in moderation.
Watch me eat this, she said as she cut a small piece of the baked good.
It is very modest. It’s very cool, very humble. I have the perfect not too big, not too small bite. I’m not messy.
I don’t like crumbs.
Another social media user, @hauskris, posted a video of herself using her soda fountain machine in her home using Lebrons voice.
Having a Diet Coke fountain in my house is very humbling, very mindful and very cool, she said.
But some people have been left very confused by the trend that has quickly gone viral.
Would someone like to tell me what the f–K this humble trend means, wrote user an X, formerly known as Twitter.
Another added: What does patience mean and who taught them that word of the week.
Others have claimed that the trend has already run its course.
