Bonesmashing went mainstream largely because of social media and the rise of looks-focused internet culture. Platforms like TikTok reward extreme and shocking content, so videos showing drastic methods spread quickly, even when they lack scientific support. Over time, repetition made the practice seem more credible than it actually is.
Misinformation also played a role. Real biological concepts were oversimplified or misused to justify harmful behavior, while natural changes like weight loss, aging, or lighting were wrongly credited to bonesmashing. In reality, the trend reflects how insecurity and online validation can push people toward extreme solutions rather than proven, safe ones.
