Observed in the UK like fiat500, Hunism is a culture and a way of life, followers are often referred to as “huns”. It mainly consists of middle aged women who are very active on their Facebook. They possess a set of
characteristics and even have their own dialect
Phrases and words include; “Hun xx” “Chiq xx” “wot am I lyk xx”. They are very
enthusiastic, bubbly,
optimistic and kind. This is heavily reflected through the way they decorate their homes which is often elaborately decorated with shiny glittery ornaments and silver sparkly decor, sometimes it is another bright and
overwhelming colour scheme which can cause one to feel nauseous on first sight. Somewhere, they will have a poster or ornament with the words “Live, Love, Laugh” which is the epitome of their culture, everything they do revolves around this phrase.
On Facebook, huns will;
often ask questions which could have been answered with a swift google search, however there is a sense of togetherness amongst other huns on Facebook which they like to embrace.
They often overshare many aspects of their life on Facebook.
They will unintentionally spread incorrect
information that they found on Facebook and cause panic amongst other huns.
They always give advice or add their opinion to most things, their intentions are mostly pure.
In popular culture “UK hun?x” is used jokingly and is a play on words and a deliberate misspelling of “are you okay hun?”
Whether you like it or not, Hunism is here to stay.
