About

The Men Men Men Trend is a TikTok trend in which women film men in public who they believe are staring and creeping on them, or otherwise acting inappropriately toward them or someone else. The trend is set to an audio for the song "Vastatio" by Nirmata Blood, which repeats, "men, men, men," several times. It was popularized in mid-June 2025 and garnered viral spread that month. The trend was met with some criticism from people who disagreed with filming men in public without their consent to shame them, with some examples of the trend garnering specific criticism for filming men who are arguably not acting creepily. The virality of the trend also inspired parodies.

Origin

On May 21st, 2025, TikToker^[1] @hhgdhff55 posted a video set to a portion of the Nirmata Blood song "Vastatio" in which a voice repeatedly says, "Men, men, men," over footage of a man standing directly in front of the TikToker, facing towards them, while riding on a train. The video features the on-screen "men" written several times and the caption "HELP" in the corner, suggesting the man is acting creepily. The video gained over 525,000 views in a month and is the earliest known example of the trend.

Some of the top comments under the video criticize the content. For example, one of the top comments with over 4,000 likes reads, "girl he’s just standing." Another with over 1,300 likes reads, "So now a man can’t just stand🥀."

On May 24th, the same TikToker^[2] uploaded another video following the trend, in which she films a man approaching a woman in public, seemingly to hit on her, garnering over 27 million views in a month.

Spread

The trend was further popularized on TikTok throughout June 2025. For example, on June 1st, 2025, TikToker^[3] @kiaz.x posted a video following the trend in which they film a man on public transit who appears to be staring at her, garnering over 32.7 million views in three weeks.

On June 19th, TikToker^[4] @privden2 posted a video criticizing the trend that gained over 2.7 million views in six days. In the video, he specifically criticizes a version of the trend by an unnamed TikToker who filmed a man swinging alone on a playground swingset, suggesting the man is doing nothing wrong in the video.

On June 22nd, 2025, TikToker^[5] @choppedshytjaden posted a video following the trend that appears to show a man pleasuring himself on the bus, the caption reading, "he was only scratching himself," garnering over 5 million views in three days.
