A new trend on TikTok encourages users to create fan edits of themselves to foster confidence and improve self-image. Set to Rasheeda's "Got That Good", these edits allow individuals to showcase their best moments in a creative way, similar to how fans create edits for celebrities. With many creators sharing their edits and receiving positive comments, the trend highlights the struggles of self-image influenced by social media. Research shows constant exposure to curated feeds can harm self-esteem, making self-edits a unique strategy for promoting positivity.
Feeling bad about your appearance? Try making a fan edit of yourself. That's the latest advice circulating on TikTok, where users are cutting and stitching together dramatic clips of themselves to the tune of Rasheeda's 2006 track Got That Good.
The trend is meant to boost creators' confidence by giving themselves a fan edit normally reserved for the likes of Harry Styles, Timothée Chalamet, and other beloved celebrities.
The final deadline for Fast Company's Brands That Matter Awards is this Friday, May 30, at 11:59 p.m.
Research backs this up. One 2021 study found that frequent Instagram use is linked to higher rates of body dissatisfaction, a stronger desire to be thin, and lower self-esteem among girls ages 14 to 24.
