Social media users are going gaga over the Gen Z boss and a Mini trend, which has been started by a skincare brand, TBH Skincare. The viral video posted on Instagram by the brand on July 10, 2024, shows a group of women standing in a circle, and describing their characteristics. The viral video shows the Gen Z women in their office singing one line each, saying:

“Gen Z boss and a mini. Itty bitty t*tties and a bob. 5 foot 3 inches and an attitude. Secret pouch and a trench. New frank green and a sneaky link. Fake tan hands and a hoop.”

As per Forbes, the chant by the Gen Z women has been inspired by the “boots and a slicked back bun” meme which originated on TikTok, first posted by the user @maisieisobel_. The trend was first posted on social media on June 29, 2024, which showed three women dancing and singing as they described their outfits.

On the other hand, the video by TBH Skincare has gone viral as it has amassed a lot of views. In just 5 days, the video posted by the brand has more than 5.3 million views. While some netizens are going crazy over the new Gen Z boss trend, others are finding the meme cringe.
