How to do TikTok’s ‘Born In’ trend and represent your birth country with flag emojis
Gone are the days when content creators used lengthy monologues to introduce themselves. In 2024, users have resorted to colorful flags of different countries for edgy introductions.
What is the Born In trend on TikTok?
TikTok users are showing flags of various countries relevant to their lives in their videos to offer a better understanding of themselves.
The challenge refrains from using dialogues, with basic information about one’s life revealed in the form of different flags. For instance, if you’re born in the United States, but grew up speaking Italian, you use the emoji representing the flags of the respective countries to let people know about your true identity.
The latest trend appears to have started sometime last year, but it’s gaining momentum in the first month of 2024 by seeing larger participants.
The Born In challenge doesn’t come with defined rules, so you can use your picture of a video in the background with just the overlay text displaying the flags.
How to use country flags to introduce yourself
Whether you follow the order or add other details relevant to your life, the trend always begins with the place of birth. Here are the details most users have mentioned in the trend with slight alterations.
- Born in
- Lived in
- Nationality
- Language I speak
- Heritage/Ethnicity
- Countries I have visited
- Countries I want to visit
To do the trend, all you have to do is insert the above text over any picture or video of your choice and mention the flags of different countries to reveal where you were born, where you lived, the countries you’ve visited, etc. You can use CapCut or any editing tool to place the text over your video or image.
Users are actively participating in the trend to reveal lesser-known details about themselves, which can be communicated in a much easier way using only the pictures of flags.
This is also a way to flaunt your travel experiences and diversified upbringing without having to divulge additional details.
