TikTok is home [4] to some pretty weird sh*t when it comes to beauty. We all know some of the most viral (and dangerous): hemorrhoid cream to fight undereye bags [5], calamine lotion instead of makeup primer [6], the list goes on and on. But the app's latest obsession is in a league of its own: figuring out whether, at your core, you're a "lalala" or "okokok" person. If you have absolutely no idea what I'm talking about, let me explain.

It all started when a TikTok video posted by user @nevon1nonly went viral. The video had the Tyler, the Creator song "See You Again" playing in the background and showed an image of a cartoon person wearing sunglasses mouthing "OK, OK, OK" and a person dancing while singing "la, la, la," with the accompanying text overlay, "there's two types of people listening to 'see you again.'"

Either you “lalalala” or you “okokokok” #rezisdead [8] #artist [9] #artistsoftiktok [10] #fyp [11] #blackartist [12] #art [13] #arttok [14] #rezanimations [15] #animation [16] #animator [17] #animatorsoftiktok [18] #tylerthecreator [19]

The implication is that there are two types of people in the world: laid-back, chill, logical people, otherwise known as okokok people, and always energetic, sometimes aloof, charming people, otherwise known as lalala people. Still trying to understand? Let's try a pop culture reference: Blair from "Gossip Girl" is okokok, while Serena is lalala. Is it becoming clearer?

TikTok users began identifying themselves as one or the other in the comments of the aforementioned viral video, and thus, a trend was born. And because we find no greater joy than relating anything and everything back to beauty, behold the next iteration of this trend: figuring out whether you are an okokok person or a lalala person, all based on your beauty preferences.

Keep reading to find out whether you're lalala, okokok, or maybe even a healthy mix of both — based on your beauty routine.

A lalala person is described as someone who doesn't take life too seriously, has their head in the clouds, and is aloof and dreamy. Think Sarah Cameron from "Outer Banks," Rachel Green from "Friends," and Drew Barrymore in "Never Been Kissed." (I'm aging myself with that last reference, I know.)

An okokok person is described as someone who overthinks and is assertive, logical, sensible, and rational. Think Monica Geller from "Friends," Shiv Roy from "Succession," and Leighton from "The Sex Lives of College Girls."
