About
The Wild Side Trend or Green Dress Girl TikTok Trend or the "Benjamins Deli" TikTok Trend refers to a dance trend on TikTok set to the remix "Benjamins Deli" by JRitt, which remixes Ice Spice's "Deli" and Puff Daddy's "All About the Benjamins." The trend, in which users dance casually and then aggressively once the beat drops, was popularized in October 2023 and earned its name after TikToker @lxurend posted a video where a girl in a green dress twerks to the beat, inspiring some viewers to thirst over her.
