Angelic Yields

Introducing “Angelic Yields,” the hot trend that is spreading through TikTok. Angelic yields is a trend that opposes the Devious Licks trend.

“I remember hearing about angelic yields, I didn’t think it would end up blowing up though. I believe angelic yields are a good way to make up to the schools for their devious licks, it has a good idea behind it as people would help and support their schools rather destroying and robbing them,” Sophomore Nicholas Theisler stated.

The angelic yields trend is where TikTokers return goods stolen from their school bathrooms. Soon after the challenge evolved into people leaving useful items in the restrooms and classrooms.

“When I saw the original angelic yields video, I didn’t think much of it but then I started to see it more and more often and before I knew it, it became a trend. Most of the angelic yields are just as funny as the devious licks so I still enjoy watching it. I never made a Tiktok video on it, but I did participate in an angelic yield when I brought my teacher some copy paper because she was running low on it. Overall, I think it’s a funny trend like the devious lick, so I don’t have any problem with it,” Sophomore Corey Bedell stated.

The angelic yields trend was popularized by TikTok user @j.uher7, who only has one public video on their account. They posted an “angelic yield” video showing them placing a roll of toilet paper on the back of a public toilet seat while smooth jazz plays in the background.  Since then, the trend has exploded on TikTok. Angelic yield videos are typically set to the track “Smiling All Day Long” from an artist listed as Upbeat Happy Music. The audio has been used to date on TikTok in over 4,700 videos, and the hashtag #angelicyield has been viewed over 29.4 million times.

“After devious licks being banned, I was excited to see angelic yield uprising. It has a similar concept to devious licks but a way more positive behavior behind it. Going from showing off what you stole from private property to spreading positivity by helping the schools with what they may need is defiantly a step into the right direction,” Freshman Carlos Gonzales stated.

TikTok recently banned the devious licks trend where Tiktokers bragged about their thefts from their schools. The trend took off in September but quickly came to a halt because it celebrated bad behavior. However, now the TikTokers who participated in devious licks have sought to redeem themselves with the “angelic yields” challenge by spreading positivity.

“Angelic Yields is a great trend; it brings people together and motivates others to do an act of kindness, not only amongst each other but on a public social media platform where it is shown to millions. I believe angelic yields to be a great way of redemption for their devious licks. I enjoy watching these acts of kindness and fully support angelic yields,” Senior Miles Sudharto stated.
