What: The Falling Stars Challenge 2018 is the latest addition to a collection of crazy, viral hashtags that routinely engulf the world of social media. To carry out this challenge, people post pictures of themselves lying face down as though they have just fallen over. The pictures are clicked in a way that shows the “falling star” lying down, surrounded by the very expensive possessions; jewellery, gadgets, makeup, rolls of cash, you have it all. Yachts, luxury cars and private planes feature in these posts as another important marker of wealth.
