THE TIKTOK MEME
How dudes act after putting on a skull cap
Two captions. One hard cut. About ten seconds.
Updated October 28, 2026
The skull cap trend is the TikTok meme, not a crochet fashion tutorial. Captions include "How dudes act after putting on a skull cap" and "0.01 seconds after putting on a skull cap." One selfie, one hard cut: a bright, slightly dorky before, a black knit skull cap pulled down, then — right on the beat drop — the same person in the dark, hood up, glasses off, staring into the camera. Commenters say that after-shot looks like Marlon. It took off in October 2026. What the skull cap TikTok meme is, including why it looks like Marlon.
