Teen girls on TikTok are dancing to abusive voicemails. The new meme is as old as women’s rage itself

Filming themselves brushing off threatening voicemails from their exes, these young women are telling each other that they aren't alone

This week, the social video platform TikTok unleashed a new meme: young women filming themselves dancing - interpretively - to a soundtrack of angry, abusive, emotionally manipulative or threatening voicemails left by their ex-boyfriends.

The images of girls throwing gentle shapes through recorded monologues of hostile condemnation have understandably gone viral. If someone hasn't dubbed them "scornstars" yet, they probably should.
