TikTok users of a certain age are getting a heavy dose of nostalgia with a new trending filter that purports to wind back time to your teenage self.
in one video, with the filter on so that he appears younger."And then there will be some sort of filter that makes you realize you look like this now," he continues, showing the split screen with his real, visibly older self.
While some TikTokers are keeping it light, showing real pictures of their teenage selves others are using the filter to talk about the lack of self-confidence they had in high school or the difficult experiences they faced, using split screens of the before and after to impart life advice to their"younger" selves.
Though many of the posts featuring tears and shocked faces can feel performative for virality's sake , there is something jarring about being able to see a face that hasn't looked back at you in the mirror for some time. Some users have discussed how the filter has kicked up old emotions related to trauma they experienced during those years, while others said it's given trans and non-binary individuals the opportunity to see a younger self that matches with their gender identity.
