What is the ‘aura’ trend? TikTokers rate their own cool factor

The current TikTok trend of ‘aura’ involves individuals gaining or losing hypothetical points based on their performance in a certain activity.

Being called out by someone else for not being ‘cool’ is one thing, but TikTok’s latest ‘aura’ trend involves individuals rating themselves, and the outcomes may not always be favorable.

Despite being a silly joke, the ‘aura’ trend on TikTok involves giving oneself points based on their performance or lack thereof.

Similarly, leaving one’s backpack unzipped when it is meant to be closed would result in a deduction of 600 points.

Alternatively, they could attempt to hold the door open for someone else, but if the individual disregards their gesture and opens the door next to them, this would also result in a deduction of points.

If a person successfully shoots a basketball into the net, they have the potential to earn points. Similarly, being the only student chosen after raising their hand in class can also contribute to their accumulation of aura points.

So, what exactly is an aura? As stated by Healthline, an aura is a field of energy that envelops the physical body. It exists in the realm of the supernatural and can be interpreted by the color of the aura that radiates from one’s energy field.

Each color has its own interpretation. For instance, a person with a yellow aura may exhibit qualities such as creativity, optimism, and friendliness. On the other hand, an individual with an indigo aura may be characterized as intuitive, spiritual, and wise.

Despite the fact that auras have been around since ancient times, the ‘aura’ trend on TikTok gained widespread popularity in May. Numerous videos featuring students of school age participating in the trend have gone viral. One particularly popular video by ‘securethabag.mel’ on TikTok documents their daily experience with auras.

During the process, the TikToker evaluated their aura points by reflecting on their day at school. They even deducted 6,000 points at one point because they accidentally sat in a wet spot.

In response, viewers shared their own experiences of losing or gaining aura points. One person commented, “Today, I lost 3,000 aura because my sweatshirt got caught on the fence and pulled me backwards.”

“Another individual shared that they had acquired 500 aura today simply by touching the top of the doorframe.”

TikToker ‘030lesly’ also joined in on the ‘aura’ trend, sharing their own experience. While working out at the gym, they accidentally got hit in the head by the barbell while lifting weights, resulting in a deduction of 600 aura points. Later on, they also tripped over a piece of metal on the floor and deducted -1,000 points from their aura.

Some users developed their own methods for assessing their aura points at the gym in response.

“One person lamented, “Losing an Airpod mid-set -5000 aura,”while another person shared, “Leaving the gym just as your gym crush enters -100000 aura.”

Despite the fact that TikTokers are assigning aura points based on fictitious scenarios, the trend has gained immense popularity, amassing over 145 million posts on the platform.
