Recently, everywhere you go, you see the online community talking about “flex” or praising someone by saying, “I love the way you flex”,… For those who don’t know, “flex” is used to describe the act of boasting or showing off excessively. This term is becoming increasingly popular and is often used by young people.
Specifically, on social media, a group called “Flex Until the Last Breath” has turned this term into a trend that nearly everyone enjoys. So, what is it about this group that is so captivating?
It is known that the group was established in May 2023. However, at that time, the number of participants had not yet gone viral. It wasn’t until some comments from posts within the group were shared by users on TikTok in the form of clips that the group began to gain wider recognition.
Just a few days later, the number of group members surged from about 200k to over 610k. This number is still on the rise; a single refresh can show new members increasing by several counts.
If you’ve joined the group, you will surely spend a lot of time reading each post, even the comments, as everything is extremely engaging. One might think that the trend of showing off personal achievements could bring negativity, but within “Flex Until the Last Breath”, the online community finds joy, humor, and meaning.
Although the posts have a “flexing” nature, they do not come off as distasteful. In fact, some individuals leave everyone in awe due to their outstanding achievements: studying at Harvard University, working on post-production for many famous international films, having extensive connections with numerous celebrities,…
Particularly in each field, not only do the post owners – the ones “flexing” – have impressive achievements, but also the commentators on the posts showcase their strengths. Many feel that being in the group sometimes makes them feel “small” because they see others who are more talented to learn from and admire.
That is also why most posts in the group garner high interaction. Some topics reach over 50k likes and countless comments and conversations from group members.
Additionally, the humorous and witty factor keeps those who accidentally stumble upon the group out of curiosity. They don’t use usual “flexing” formats such as flaunting wealth, luxury cars, or designer bags. Instead, most posts feature diverse content, with individuals showcasing their talents while remaining extremely humble and charming.
Therefore, it’s easy to understand why “Flex Until the Last Breath” is becoming increasingly viral on social media and has turned into a “ideology” among young people. Being confident in one’s achievements, boasting positively, and contributing to the community. This kind of “flexing” is truly something everyone wants to be a “flexer”!
Some comments from the online community:
– “I love this way of expressing, it’s fun and still makes others admire.”
– “Many posts are really helpful, I see that there are so many talented people in Vietnam.”
– “Flexing has reached a new height. It’s not just bragging anymore; these are all things that deserve to be known by many.”
