‘The goblin mode trend is a rejection of being the It-girl’

Woman's Hour

Available for over a year

Have you got an inner goblin? Do you ever let it out? Not washing for days, slobbing in bed, binge watching TV series in one sitting, eating random things left at the back of your fridge with melted cheese on… these would all be considered #goblinmode. You might do it in private but would you post pictures on social media for the world to see? Well, this has become a new trend taking over TikTok with videos using the hashtag gaining over 2.1 billion views. So why are generation Z women deciding to reveal their inner goblins to the world? Ione Gamble, writer and editor-in-chief of Polyester zine and podcast and Halima Jibril, writer and editor of Ashamed Magazine explain more to Chloe Tilley on Âé¶¹Éç Radio 4’s Woman’s Hour. To listen to the full discussion, head to Âé¶¹Éç Sounds and search for the Âé¶¹Éç Radio 4 Woman’s Hour episode from 14 April.
