Global InformationNek minnit information
Nek minnit (next minute; alternatively negg minute, nek minut , "nek minute", or simply nekminit) is an Internet meme made popular by New Zealand skateboarder Levi Hawken. Hawken appeared in a viral video which shows a scooter, apparently destroyed outside a dairy.[1] The "nek minnit" video spawned many parodies and has become a popular slang term among the people of New Zealand.
In a 2019 interview with RNZ, Hawken discussed the effects of the video on his well-being and his attempts to look for a 'silver lining' (albeit he acknowledges it to be cliché). He has had a passion for skateboarding since a young age, and works on using concrete as a medium for building sculptures.[2]
