On social media, members of Generation Z are creating a new kind of political expression that blends humor with activism. This trend has gained momentum during recent student protests, where high schoolers have shared videos that mix chaos with creativity. These clips often depict lycéens—French high school students—escaping from police cars, with one popular video showing a teenager fleeing from a vehicle after being handcuffed. The clip uses the soundtrack from the anime The Idolmaster and includes a filter that makes police officers' movements sync with the music, specifically their buttocks. The officers, dressed in all black, are shown reacting to dances from the video game Fortnite, K-pop choreography, or couple quizzes they are forced to participate in. In another clip, characters from different eras and backgrounds, such as Julius Caesar facing a pink candy shark, engage in playful "aura battles" in crowded spaces. These videos have been circulating since the beginning of the student mobilizations and reflect a movement that is often misunderstood by those not directly involved. Conservative media outlets, including those owned by Vincent Bolloré, have tried to paint the students as dangerous "street terrorists" influenced by the political group LFI. However, these videos—though seemingly trivial—allow young people to express themselves directly, without intermediaries. They reveal a generation discovering activism through tools like social media and humor, which police, often seen as the real "clowns" in this scenario, struggle to control. Whether the movement appears immature, poorly organized, or uses a childish vocabulary, it is precisely through these informal methods that young people are engaging with activism, making it visible and accessible. Far from the dramatic, apocalyptic images shared by news channels and the alarmist rhetoric of politicians, these videos—filled with internet humor—show gatherings that are joyful and convivial. They stand in stark contrast to the simplistic, binary narratives imposed by media discourse. More than ever, young people are reclaiming the right to tell their own stories. This new form of political language and the aesthetic of mobilization were already visible last year during student uprisings in Nepal. Though it may seem silly, this approach is incredibly effective: the videos accumulate millions of views and cross international borders. They show that important lessons can be learned simply by scrolling through platforms like TikTok. While these videos cannot undo the mental and physical harm suffered by those who were struck, intimidated, or insulted for demanding better educational conditions, they reinforce the idea that our youth—despite being chaotic and deeply immersed in internet culture—still know how to engage in politics in their own way. And, despite their flaws, they are also incredibly funny.
