About

How Fast We Go From Nonchalant to Freaky is a catchphrase that's integral to a 2024 TikTok trend in which TikTokers use the "Handsome" Snapchat filter and the Striking Face TikTok Filter to show a transition from being "nonchalant" (akin to the Nonchalant Dreadhead and I Became Very Nonchalant memes) to being "freaky" (akin to the 𝓯𝓻𝓮𝓪𝓴𝔂 meme). When being "nonchalant," the people in the video do casual and cool movements. When being "freaky," they do comedically sexual movements. The trend started and evolved in August 2024.

Origin

On July 30th, 2024, TikToker^[1] @oeeezy posted a video with text reading, "how fast I go from nonchalant to freaky," showing himself eating boneless wings. He's first seen with the "Handsome" Snapchat filter (also used in the One Million Beers trend). Then, he's seen with an ugly filter (also likely from Snapchat). The video amassed over 12 million plays and 2 million likes in a month (shown below).
