Rich Gen Zers slammed for tone-deaf ‘Saltburn’ TikTok trend: ‘Didn’t understand the movie’
NY Post
TikTokers, gonna burn this godd–n house right down!
Rich Gen Zers are being accused of being tone-deaf as they dance around their mansions and show off their extravagant stays as the “Saltburn” TikTok trend takes off.
“Saltburn,” the movie everyone seems to be talking about, follows dorky Oliver Quick (Barry Keoghan) as he begins Oxford University in 2006 and befriends the fabulously rich Felix Catton (Jacob Elordi), who invites him to stay the summer with his family at their extravagant estate, the film’s namesake.
The movie’s memorable closing scene follows Oliver as he dances around the mansion to “Murder on the Dancefloor” by Sophie Ellis-Bextor while he’s coked out and completely naked, giving viewers one last tour of the spectacular estate that is practically a character itself.
Since the movie was released in theaters on Nov. 17, presumably wealthy Gen Zers have posted TikTok videos dancing around their mansions and expensive hotels showing off their “Saltburn” aesthetic, but some viewers claim they missed the movie’s whole point.
“POV: you applied to Oxford University 3 years ago and now every weekend is something straight out of Saltburn,” Caitlin Darby captioned a TikTok video.
