What is the Bad Times trend?

"Bad Times" is a deep-house single released in 2026. On TikTok it became the soundtrack to a fake argument with whoever is holding the phone: one continuous kitchen shot, lip-synced like a real fight. The format is widely credited to French creator BOUUH YACHAKA, and by autumn 2026 it had spread to cats, dogs and AI versions. StarBop rebuilds that routine with an original performer — you.
