The "turbulence" trend on TikTok involves men (or people with male genitalia) performing a dance that makes a clapping or slapping noise by slapping their private parts against their thigh. The trend was inspired by a TikTok user known as Just Jo, who posted a video in which he danced using these movements and shouted "a whole bunch of turbulence". The videos are often NSFW and involve explicit content, but the physical mechanisms used to create the "turbulence" are never shown. The trend has become popular on the platform, with many users trying to imitate the jerky movements and recreate the sound effect. The trend is divisive, with some finding it humorous and others disturbed by it.
