The International Business Times reports that teens seek to create viral videos while proposing to prom dates, with everything from singing acapella in school hallways to organizing elaborate schemes to have the entire student body in on the special moment. This has teens scampering toward a new trend known as "promposing." "It's a fascinating trend," Kate Mason, a global communications and public affairs spokesman for YouTube told IBTimes Friday. "Over the last couple of years it has become more and more elaborate." According to Mason, YouTube users have uploaded an estimated 150,000 prom proposal related videos to date; a quick search on the site presents viewers with over 450 "promposal" clips to chose from, all uploaded this week alone. "Part of the fun is in proposing and the other part is the joy in sharing it that is fun," said Mason, confirming the site witnesses a spike in uploads during prom season. The latest craze, which consists of concocting the most unique ways possible to pop the question to potential prom dates, has become an extravagant and sometimes costly expenditure. One teen told the New York Post he convinced officials at his Long Island high school to allow him to pop the question over the school's PA system. Teenager Senn Way uploaded his "promposal" video under the YouTube name "McKane Andrus" early last month. Mason said the popular clip caught the site's attention, not for the teen's now famous twerking dance that got his prom date to say "yes," or the gold booty shorts he sported with the words "PROM" across his bottom, but for the estimated 12,000 hits the video received in 12 hours. The clip currently has more than 7.3 million views and counting. Read more PromPosal
