The Blinding Lights Challenge refers to a viral TikTok dance trend set to the high-energy intro of The Weeknd’s 2019 hit single 'Blinding Lights.' Emerging in early 2020, the challenge typically involves three or more people sprinting into the camera frame to perform a synchronized, 80s-inspired aerobic routine. It became a global phenomenon during the COVID-19 lockdowns, serving as a popular way for families, healthcare workers, and roommates to stay connected and entertained. In meme culture, the template is used to represent peak group coordination, late-night energy, or the nostalgia of early 2020 internet trends.
