“Naturally Alt” : Alternative TikTok’s Worst Trend

Alternative TikTok says you can be “naturally alt,” like you’re born goth with no effort. Fun idea until it turns into a new beauty standard with negative consequences. In this video I break down what “naturally alt” actually is, why it’s a paradox (you can’t be born counterculture), how it slips Eurocentric beauty rules into alt spaces and why some may have been originally drawn to the trend.
