If Valentine’s Day left your social media flooded with roses, candlelight dinners, and lovey-dovey captions, Anti-Valentine’s Week has officially begun to change the script. And it starts today, February 15, with the much-talked-about Slap Day.

Over the years, this post-Valentine trend has become a fun counter-culture celebration, especially among singles and heartbreak survivors. While February 7 to 14 is all about romance, February 15 to 21 flips the mood, focusing on self-love, humour, and moving on.

What is Slap Day all about?

Despite its dramatic name, Slap Day isn't about actual slapping. It’s symbolic. Think of it as a mental reset button. For many youngsters, it’s the day to "slap away" memories of toxic relationships, mixed signals, ghosting, or unreturned feelings.

Social media often lights up with memes, witty posts, and playful reality checks. Friends jokingly tease each other about past dating disasters, turning heartbreak into humour.

More than bitterness, Slap Day represents closure. It’s about deleting old chats, unfollowing your ex, packing away gifts, and choosing self-respect over emotional baggage.
