Poland is everywhere

About

This viral trend, popular on TikTok in 2020, consists of videos in which an image is manipulated until it resembles the flag of Poland, which is white on top and red on the bottom. The 2015 song "I Love Poland" by DJ Hazel plays in the background.

Background

The song "I Love Poland" by Polish producer DJ Hazel was released in 2015 and has received over six million views on YouTube.

Origin and spread

The initial origins of the trend go back at least to August 2017, when a video of it was posted to YouTube, albeit without the "I Love Poland" soundtrack.

It took off in 2020 on TikTok. As of that month, the TikTok account @._poland.iseverywhere, which consists solely of videos of the trend, has nearly 100,000 followers and over 1 million likes.

Examples

To manipulate an image to "find Poland", typically one zooms in to find a border between a lighter and darker section, and then adjusts the brightness, saturation, and other values until the desired colors are reached.
