About
Cursed Photos TikToks refers to a series of TikTok videos using a remixed version of "Louvre Museum Invasion"[3] from the game Rhythm Thief and the Emperor's Treasure to highlight various cursed images. Although the trend began with TikTokers mimicking cursed images in March 2020, it evolved in April to show off "bad" or cursed photos of themselves or their friends.
