In Mexico, a new trend called “aura farming” is becoming popular. So, what is aura farming?
It’s when people do things that make them look cool or confident without trying too hard. The idea started on social media apps like TikTok and Instagram. It mixes the idea of doing something over and over to gain points, like in a video game, but with real-life activities.
In Mexico City, several aura farming battles recently took place. People gathered at places like the Palace of Fine Arts and the Monument to the Revolution to watch. Contestants use dances, poses and gestures to show off their “aura,” or their presence. The winner is often the one who gets the loudest cheers and applause from the crowd.
Aura battles are spreading to other parts of Mexico and Latin America. For example, there was an event at Juárez Park in Xalapa and even some competitions in Costa Rica and Brazil. However, not everyone is a fan. Some cities have banned these battles due to rules about using public spaces.
