Adrian, Explain Our Friend Group / Ohio Friend Group

About

Adrian, Explain Our Friend Group or Ohio Friend Group refers to a viral video where a presumed high schooler named Adrian is asked to explain his friend group to the camera, saying they're a mixture of Ohio, then singing a version of "Swag Like Ohio," with a pinch of Florida and Arkansas, concluding that they are "fucking chaotic as shit." The video was deemed cringey by some while others in the comments envied how happy the friend group seemed, resulting in edits and videos referencing it on TikTok in February 2023.

Origin

Around February 8th, 2023, TikToker^[1] @omni_boi26 posted a video where a girl films two boys and says, "Adrian, explain our friend group." One of the boys, presumably Adrian, steps forward and says in a deep voice, "We are Ohio," inspiring the other friend to dance and sing, "made in Ohio, only in Ohio," followed by Adrian continuing, "with a pinch of Florida and Arkansas. Together we are," then switches to a casual voice and finishes, "fucking chaotic as shit." The account has since gone private, but the video was reuploaded by TikToker^[2] @ifiniteboat on February 9th, 2023, garnering over 3.5 million views in five days (shown below).
