Have a Sigma New Year
Bruzz, huzz and especially Chet Hanks!
Wrapping up this year like a present!
So many things have happened like sigma, brain rot, mewing, aura points, Sephora tweens and smellmaxxing. Will those things stay with us? Or go the way of rizz, which feels like it might be losing its rizzness?
2024 kept us right on our toes! We worried about JoJo Siwa and tried to unpack Diddy and all the conspiracies, and admitted we love Chet Hanks? Trust us — we did not see that coming. Let’s not forget the Drake + Kendrick Lamar feud that legit feels like a lifetime ago.
We had a brat summer, watched friends get pranked by just give me my money, and addressed our eyebrow blindness.
We went full mob wife for a week with our friends at Meet the Mess pod, unpacked crazy trends like tomato girl with Fixing Famous People, and broke down the Reesa Teesa saga with our dearest Amy Phillips from Drama Darlings.
We embraced viral stars like Jools LeBron, Hawk Tuah girl, and Reesa Teesa. We even learned the Texas Hold Em dance.
But really no one is wrapping up the year quite like this TikTok queen:

Amongst many other things, Christine addresses aliens in the ocean and how our dot gov is banning TikTok before doing sheeeet about gun violence!
She ate that, left no crumbs. No capping.
Things we want to learn:
Some things that have bubbled to the surface in the last moments of the year. DHgate took TikTok by storm. What is that? Sisters #izzydarnell and #kylandarnell went to posting their insane rich kid luxury Christmas hauls on TikTok and peepers took to commenting that the designer products were FAKE. In general, DHGate is a popular TikTok shop that sells cheap knockoffs. The scandal seems to be that the sisters tried to pass off their fake stuff as real. Bethany Frankel called it the start of a luxury goods “revolution.” More will be revealed in 2025!
Apparently this Sigma Boy song is beloved by the youths. Created by two tween bloggers in Russia and other than “sigma boy” we can’t understand a dang word!
Also, this meme recently became a thing? Not sure AT ALL what it means. Our hunch is that it means absolutely nothing. You’re welcome?
And our new favorite term…Huzz. Bruh went to bruzz, and we guess ho went to huzz?Bruzz before huzz? Or it can simply mean your crush.
Things we want to continue to ignore in 2025:
Artificial super intelligence
Aliens
Things we want to lean into:
OUR DEMOCRACY.
And finally the moment that has kept you on edge for a good 72 hours:
