About

Lil Bro Was Born In 2024 refers to a series of TikTok videos and Lil Bro memes showing newborn Gen Alpha babies with the aforementioned catchphrase written in text overlay captions. Many of the videos used Quandale Dingle and Don Pollo TikTok sounds. The trend mainly joked about what memes, trends and internet phenomena were older than the babies born in 2024. A viral screenshot from the trend also emerged, showing a top comment reading, "Blud missed EVERYTHING." A musical voiceover of the screenshot and its other comments trended en masse during June and July 2024.
