About

Be Mindful Of Why You Were Invited To The Section is a meme trend inspired by a viral video posted by TikToker @LittleBrownCharmSchool in May 2022 in which she showcases what she thinks is appropriate clubbing etiquette for when one gets invited to the VIP section of a nightclub. The video contrasts black-and-white clips of her dancing suggestively and rowdily with full-color clips of her sitting and sipping on a champagne glass. The caption on the clip, "Be mindful of why you were invited to the section" came to be used as a catchphrase in memes in April 2024.
