About
Gloving vs. Degloving refers to a series of memes, primarily on TikTok, about the raver dance subculture gloving and its imagined antithesis called degloving. In medical terms, "degloving," like in the Degloved Face shock media trend, refers to an injury in which all layers of the skin are torn, revealing the muscle and bone structure below. In late 2025, as memes that mocked gloving surfaced en masse on TikTok, jokes about degloving were introduced. In many of them, degloving was portrayed as a punishment in the gloving community. A photo of streamer IShowSpeed looking terrified with his hands covering his screaming mouth was commonly used in these degloving posts.
Origin
Before 2025, degloving was a Don't Google term, evident in a viral video shared by TikToker[1] @marquaythegoat on January 9th, 2022. In late 2022, the term Degloved Face, specifically, gained viral attention on TikTok.
In 2025, a series of ironic gloving memes surfaced on TikTok, notably starting in July 2025, with the TikTok[2] account @thelightboyzz. Parody gloving posts continued to surface in late 2025 on TikTok, peaking in December.
On December 5th, 2025, TikToker[3] @drakoarmy shared a video skit about a glover telling the viewer, "2 facts about the gloving community you might not know." He said to never call a glover unemployed and then talked about how gloving is "very dangerous" because a glover could be "degloved." Over four days, the video received over 286,900 likes.
