‘We are living in a world’: Understanding the viral TikTok trend that celebrates yapping

A good ol' yap session is healing for the soul. But as many of us know, when you start yapping, it can become difficult to stop.

With this viral sound, they don't have to.

TikTokers can recreate their wildest yap sessions for millions to see—and learn a little about vodka sauce pasta in the process.

"Because here's my thing, I'm so sorry," a woman says. "We are living in a world where we could put our vodka sauce with any shaped pasta. Any shape we want. And the fact that we keep going back to penne."

This might seem like a pretty specific conversation, but the passion the woman employs while ranting about pasta is what matters. This passion is being applied to situations where people can't seem to stop talking, with some examples being listed below.

"When my mom is trying to relax but its my prime yapping hour," says @kalebspah21.

"When we decided to have mutual lock in time but I physically can't stop talking," says @ella.aguis1.

"When my boyfriend is trying to sleep but I'm not done yapping yet," says @nakiapiresx2.
