The “Tube Girl” trend started over a month ago in Britain when Sabrina Bahsoon, a Malaysian who moved to the United Kingdom to study law at Durham University, posted a video on social media. In the video, Sabrina playfully mimed the lyrics of David Guetta’s “Where Them Girls At” while dancing on a moving London Underground train.
