The Devious Lick trend emerged in September 2021 on TikTok, characterized by students filming themselves stealing or vandalizing school property, often set to a bass-boosted version of Lil B's Eat It. What started with a box of disposable masks quickly escalated to soap dispensers, microscopes, and even entire plumbing fixtures. The term lick refers to a successful theft or score. While the trend faced significant backlash from school administrations and law enforcement, it became a massive cultural phenomenon, spawning Angelic Licks as a counter-trend where students returned or donated items to their schools.
