Bonesmashing / Bone Smashing

Bonesmashing , also known as Bone Smashing Trend , is the practice of repeatedly hitting your bones, often your cheekbones or jawbones, with a hard object like a hammer, to alter their shape, theoretically making them more prominent, appealing and Chad-like . The practice is based on the principle of Wolff's Law, which claims that bones remodel themselves after trauma. It became popularized in mid-2018 among incels as a method of "looksmaxxing" similar to mewing and is often the subject of criticism for being dangerous and ineffective. In early 2023, videos and memes referencing bonesmashing started to go viral on TikTok .
