(New York Post) Your high school yearbook photo can come back stronger than a ’90s trend.
Yearbook photos are often looked back at with embarrassment, cringing over the awkward stages of our teenage years. But thanks to artificial intelligence, you have the opportunity for a redo.
A new trend on TikTok allows users to recreate their high school yearbook snaps — with a ’90s twist.
With over 60 different identities available to transform into, the AI generator can help you see what your high school alter ego could have looked like — you could even be captain of the football team if you so desire.
Celebrities and influencers hopped on the trend, sharing the AI versions of their yearbook photos on social media.
Actress Keke Palmer, 30, shared a slideshow of yearbook photos to Instagram with the caption, “Idk y’all.. I feel like mine ain’t me fr” with laughing emojis.
One person commented that “it’s like.. it’s you… but not,” while another said that this is what Palmer’s daughter would look like.

YouTuber James Charles, 24, joined in, writing “I’m scared” alongside his generated photos.
Other commenters seemed scared as well. A fan wrote, “Yeah I don’t think everyone that can join the trend should…” while another admitted, “This is the first one I’ve seen where I didn’t love it lol.”
