About this episode
"May all your delulu come trululu, because being delulu is the solulu." The clip you just listened to comes from American influencer Bianca Bernardo on Tiktok, and it’s had over 2/3 million views at the time of recording. If you’re wondering what the heck those crazy words mean, it’s best summed up as saying: “may all your fantasies turn into reality”. Indeed, the delulu hashtag has racked up over 6 billion views on TikTok. And it’s more than just an online trend; delulu is genuinely morphing into something of philosophy, or coping mechanism for Gen Z to deal with reality. So, what does delulu actually mean? What are some real life examples of being delulu then? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions!
