The "blackout challenge" has been around since at least 2008, according to People, but it started making the rounds on TikTok again back in 2021, and has continued to make headlines in 2023. Experts have warned young users not to try the trend, which was linked to more than 80 deaths back when it first emerged, per the CDC.
