However, some argue that these kinds of terms can be icky and infantilizing. Lillian Stonewritesfor the BBC that there’s nothing inherently gendered about these things. Girl dinner is just snacks and side dishes thrown into a “meal.” Hot girl walks are just that, simply talking walks.

Critics agree that"girly"trends can build community and drive positive conversation. Professor of marketing Shilpa Madan explains that they fulfill a need to belong. “As human beings, we have an innate desire to belong to social groups. When something is labeled as a ‘girl’ thing, it creates an immediate sense of relatability, fostering a feeling of community and shared sisterhood.“In that way. even the memes in this list labeled as relatable forgirlsare similar. Critics also warn that these types of trends reinforce harmful gender stereotypes. It’s almost similar to razors and their pink tax or the giant Stanley Tumbler trend. If there’s something “girly,” capitalism is sure to jump on it immediately.

Jennings also proposes an interesting idea: that being a “girl” means self-actualization. She draws from Robin Wasserman’s 2016essay"What Does It Mean When We Call Women Girls?” and suggests that in a lot of popular culture, women are “girls” when they’re on the road to self-discovery. They’re not yet wives or mothers, they’re still transitioning from girlhood to womanhood.

We’re empowering ourselves through being lazy with “girlrotting” or looking for “lazy girl jobs.” Gone is the aesthetic of the early 2020s where women showcased daily routines, healthy meal preps, and fashion inspo. “Reducing being a girl to a series of increasingly feral behaviors removes some of the term’s baggage,” Palmer Haaschwritesfor Business Insider.

For the current generation on TikTok, “girl” might no longer be infantalizing, pejorative, or even empowering. “As self-described girls online assert ownership of Pilates and iced lattes as well as ‘Ulysses,’ irritable bowel syndrome and tinned fish, so-called girl culture might just be the ruling order,” Marie Soliswritesfor The New York Times.
