A hashtag that turned doomscrolling into solidarity

More than a month has passed since #Nepokids went viral, yet the conversation among Nepali youth around privilege, opportunity, and merit shows no signs of slowing.

It started with a few videos—lavish parties, designer clothes, vacations abroad. Then came the comments: “Whose money is this?” Within days, doom-scrolling turned into solidarity, as young Nepalis called out privilege, corruption, and inequality under one sharp label—#Nepokids.
