Check out the meaning of the new circle chain trend on TikTok
TikTokers frequently stumble across terms they’ve never heard before, but after learning the meaning, the term starts to creep into their daily speech. You may have seen videos on TikTok showing individuals discussing a “circle chain” as part of a viral craze.
What is the ‘circle chain’ on TikTok and trend meaning as it goes viral
TikTok users have started to crafting videos that make darkly comic references to this enigmatic object, analogous to the “circle chain” craze. Many of these videos, which include TikTokers looking at the camera worriedly or blankly, have received thousands of likes and views. However, many people are left wondering to what precise extent they are alluding.
The “circle chain” which people are referring to is actually a necklace with a circular pendant that has wings on it. The pendant is a memorial piece since people usually wear a picture of a loved one who has died away on it.

By making jokes about how their friends or loved ones are getting ready for death by giving them these necklaces or saying they’d “look good” on them, the TikTok craze takes a darkly humorous turn.
People are making light-hearted claims that their buddies are either planning to murder them or wish they weren’t. Even videos of the necklace have been uploaded by some TikTokers, with the description “Trying to figure out who’s going in it.”
The cultural significance of the circle chain combined with a dark sense of humour has made this trend popular, but it can also be perplexing for people who don’t grasp the context of the posts.
Though its beginnings are unknown, the fad has been going around TikTok in August 2024, making the “circle chain” a popular inside joke on the app.
The term ‘demure’ is also going viral, with users making satirical videos about how they present themselves in public.
What is Demure?
“Demure” is one of the newest phrases on TikTok to gain popularity. What does that mean, though? Demure, in the words of TikTokers “TheGoddessBoys,” is “shy, modest, and reserved.”
It takes work to exude the ultimate calm, cool, and collected vibe, but everyone can be modest.
In a Jools Lebron TikTok that received over 7 million views, they discussed what being modest meant to them.
They stressed throughout the video how “mindful” they were of their appearance, stating that you should always accessorize and dress for work in the same way as you would for an interview.
