Who can appear in your Bad Times video?

You

Late again, out of sleep, or explaining yourself in the most dramatic way possible.

The calmest person you know

Grandma, the boss, or the quiet friend. The less they seem like they would argue, the funnier it gets.

The group chat

Birthdays, roasts, inside jokes and friendly chaos, as long as the person agreed to appear.

Monday mood

Missed train, spilled coffee, tiny disaster. Let the video be angry for you.

Photo tips

  • One person only, with a clear face.
  • Front-facing or 3/4 angle works best.
  • Frame from the waist up when you can.
  • Hands visible and empty, because the routine needs hand movement.
  • Even light, no sunglasses, no heavy filters.

What is the Bad Times trend?

The Bad Times trend started from a video by French creator @bouuhyachaka with the caption "Ca va barder!!". In the clip, the person lip-syncs Imael Angel's "Bad Times" while pretending to argue with whoever is filming.

People later started replacing the performer with themselves, friends, pets and babies using AI. This adult version is for yourself or another adult who agreed to appear.

Is "Bad Times" by Imael Angel an AI song?

There is no official confirmation from the artist or label. Some lyric sites mark it as AI and many listeners believe it sounds AI-made, but the public record has not settled that.
