Woman Slams Adults Who Use Backpacks, Sparks Debate

If you’re an active social media user, it’s likely that you’ve come across instances where individuals publicly shame others for various reasons, spanning from their plastic surgery outcomes to their fashion choices. While some of these instances may be justified, let’s not dwell on that. Interestingly enough, it seems that ordinary people can also become targets of this peculiar trend.

In recent happenings in the online world, a woman on TikTok has taken it upon herself to criticize adults who opt to use backpacks.

With a cheerful smile emoji accompanying her words, she captioned the video, saying, “No shade.”

“This is no shade, but if you’re an adult wearing a backpack, you’re not doing good,” Keren said while walking. "Like I’m sure you’re hustling, I’m sure you’re on your grind, but you’re not, like, crushing it.

Keren went on to make a humorous observation, saying, “Nobody sees an adult with all their belongings strapped to their body and goes, ‘Yeah, that’s the sign of extreme wealth.”

Towards the conclusion of the video, Keren can be seen strolling through a neighborhood, while giving a sidelong gaze towards the camera.

Once again, the TikTok community is here to pass the vibe check. As expected, Keren’s logic regarding adults and backpacks has left many users in the comment section a tad bewildered. And who can blame them? There are countless reasons why someone would choose to use a backpack, and the variety of these reasons is truly staggering.

• “Wearing a backpack distributes weight evenly on both shoulders so they’re gonna be more symmetrical and proportional.”

• “Come to Silicon Valley where engineers that makes $300k+ a year wear backpacks.”
  

• “Come to Silicon Valley where engineers that makes $300k+ a year wear backpacks.”

• “To me, nothing says ’not crushing it’ like worrying about what other people are doing.”

• “I mean, balanced support of all the things I need instead of a purse over one shoulder? Team backpack.”

It’s quite fascinating to see how some individuals took things up a notch by stitching her video and offering explanations for why they choose to carry backpacks. Adding a touch of hilarity to the situation, someone even went as far as humorously labeling her as a “bootleg Ron Weasley” for attempting to throw shade at others.

While the woman in the TikTok video may have sparked a debate, we believe that backpacks can be a great accessory for adults. They’re perfect for carrying laptops, gym clothes, and even groceries. Plus, they distribute weight evenly across your back, which can be better for your posture than carrying a heavy tote bag.

It’s also worth noting that backpacks have a long history in fashion. Jane Birkin, the British It Girl who achieved huge success in French cinema and music from the 1960s onwards, famously inspired the Hermès Birkin bag with her love of carrying everything in a straw basket.

In the end, it’s up to each individual to decide whether or not they want to use a backpack. Personal style is all about expressing yourself and feeling confident in what you wear. So if a backpack makes you feel good, go ahead and rock it!

As we wrapped up our article on the adults and their backpacks, we couldn’t shake the feeling that something even more bizarre was lurking around the corner. And as if on cue, a fascinating tale of parenting and social norms emerged — not about backpacks this time, but about a kid who was denied cake at a birthday party.
