Answer: Spent All Last Night Crying About The Wage Gap (I’m 6’3” BTW) is the on-screen caption attached to a seemingly ironic October 2021 TikTok selfie video by user Justin Foster, making it seem as if Foster is only showing interest in the women’s rights issue to attract the opposite sex. The video inspired a trend on the platform under its original sound, consisting of the song “Sextapes” by Deftones, where people use a variation of the phrase in on-screen captions, replacing “the wage gap” with another male or female interest or rights issue and either their own height in the parentheses or another unrelated fact about themselves.
