Stranger Things star Noah Schnapp's coming out announcement made quite a stir last week—and he seems to think it's pretty silly.

Schnapp made the announcement in the most quintessentially Gen-Z way possible—with a super casual TikTok where the sound clip he lip-synced to was more the star of the show than the announcement itself.

Nonetheless, Schnapp's coming out went instantly viral.

So, he and his friends did what Gen Z does best—made a TikTok mocking the whole thing, as seen below.

The video, posted by user @meltyiceycubey, a friend of Schnapp's shows Schnapp hanging with a group of friends while one pal asks for everyone's attention.

Reading from his phone, he said:

"Guys! Noah Schnapp—gay at 18!"

It was phrased as if reading a celebrity death announcement.

Everyone else in the room, including Schnapp himself, immediately lost their minds, yelling "Nooo!"

The video seems like it's probably a reference not only to Schnapp's coming-out furor, but the recent TikTok trend over the holidays where people pranked their elders by announcing the fake death of a celebrity.

Several versions of the prank went mega-viral as people's relatives similarly yelled "Noooo!" to the news of celebrities who are still very much alive dying over the Christmas season.

Mockery seems the perfect follow-up to Schnapp's announcement, in which he lip-synced to another TikTok creator's voice saying:

"You know what it never was? That serious."

Of course, fans felt otherwise—especially since Schnapp's character on Netflix's Stranger Things, Will Byers, had his own heart-rending coming-out journey in the show's most recent season.

Schnapp received an outpouring of love and support and impassioned congratulations for his announcement.

And TikTokers loved this follow-up video just as much.

Here's hoping more gay people can feel this casual and unbothered about their coming out in the future.

As prominent MAGA minions, like QAnon conspiracy peddler and former Georgia Republican Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene, have come out against MAGA Republican President Donald Trump, so too are some lesser known individuals.

Whether it's his Iran War, his continuing saga with the Epstein files, his utter failure to keep any of his campaign promises that they banked on helping them, or the abject incompetence of his hand-picked personnel, some members of MAGA are distancing themselves from the cult.

Trump Ripped For Somehow Making His 'Happy Mother's Day' Post All About Himself Without Any Mention Of Melania

President Donald Trump was criticized after he "honored" mothers on Mother's Day by attacking Democrats in a self-absorbed post on Truth Social, never mentioning his wife, First Lady Melania, who is the mother of his youngest son Barron.

Instead of acknowledging her and mothers around the country, Trump gloated about the economy and accused critics of having "Trump Derangement Syndrome," targeting Democrats and Jerome Powell, the Federal Reserve Chair he's been trying to push out of his administration.

Zach Galifianakis Expertly Lays Into Comedians Who Refuse To 'Challenge' Trump When He's A Guest On Their Podcasts

Actor and comedian Zach Galifianakis called out comedians who have had President Donald Trump on their podcasts and didn't "challenge" him, noting that they've effectively abdicated their role by not making jokes at Trump's expense or pushing back against things he says.

Galifianakis made that argument during a recent episode of Conan O’Brien Needs a Friend, where host Conan O'Brien remarked that few, if any, people have challenged a sitting president the way Galifianakis did when he interviewed then-President Barack Obama in 2014 on his satirical series Between Two Ferns.

Republicans have faced pressure from constituents nationwide to address the rising cost of living, but Americans are feeling pain at the pump now that the Iran war, which the Trump administration kicked off in late February, has prompted a spike in gas prices.

The now-viral moment came after police said Robert Littlepage, 18, of Douglasville, Georgia, allegedly attempted a carjacking last Tuesday before stealing a white utility truck and crashing near the school.
