That\u2019s where this guide comes in.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Every month, we&#8217;re rounding up our favourite TikTok trends: the sounds, hooks, and concepts that are going viral right now. We&#8217;ll break down the formats, show you examples, and give you practical ways to adapt them to your niche.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>TL;DR:<\/strong> TikTok trends move fast, so this guide rounds up the sounds, hooks, and formats going viral each month, with real examples and practical ways to adapt each one to your niche. Scroll to the current month for the freshest trends, then work back through the archive for formats that still hold up. Most trends live or die on two things: using the exact trending audio, and keeping the format while swapping in details specific to your brand or community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One thing worth knowing before you dive in: a sound can go from &#8220;everywhere&#8221; to &#8220;over&#8221; in a matter of days, so it pays to check a sound&#8217;s page before you commit. If the video count is climbing fast and the top posts are recent, it&#8217;s still on the way up; if the big videos are two weeks old, you&#8217;re likely late.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Let\u2019s get into this month\u2019s biggest TikTok trends:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h1 class=\"wp-block-heading\">August TikTok trends<\/h1>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The &#8220;That&#8217;s small potato stuff\u201d trend<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-tiktok wp-block-embed-tiktok\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"tiktok-embed\" cite=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/@laney_butts\/video\/7672754535999229198\" data-video-id=\"7672754535999229198\" data-embed-from=\"oembed\" style=\"max-width:605px; min-width:325px;\"> <section> <a target=\"_blank\" title=\"@laney_butts\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/@laney_butts?refer=embed\" rel=\"noopener\">@laney_butts<\/a> <p>It\u2019s Disneyween, duh \ud83c\udf83\ud83d\udc7b\ud83e\udd0d <a title=\"disneyworld\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/tag\/disneyworld?refer=embed\" rel=\"noopener\">#disneyworld<\/a> <a title=\"halloween\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/tag\/halloween?refer=embed\" rel=\"noopener\">#halloween<\/a> <a title=\"disneyfall\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/tag\/disneyfall?refer=embed\" rel=\"noopener\">#disneyfall<\/a> <a title=\"disneytrend\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/tag\/disneytrend?refer=embed\" rel=\"noopener\">#disneytrend<\/a> <a title=\"disneygirl\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/tag\/disneygirl?refer=embed\" rel=\"noopener\">#disneygirl<\/a> <\/p> <a target=\"_blank\" title=\"\u266c Loser - Tame Impala\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/music\/Loser-7545945306422626321?refer=embed\" rel=\"noopener\">\u266c Loser &#8211; Tame Impala<\/a> <\/section> <\/blockquote> <script async src=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/embed.js\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Apparently, Spider-Man only deals with small potatoes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At least, that\u2019s what Yelena Belova tells him in<strong> Spider-Man: Brand New Day,<\/strong> when she explains that the New Avengers are busy handling the \u201cbig potato stuff.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Now, on TikTok, users are repurposing the phrase to talk about anything that isn\u2019t worth losing sleep about. This ranges from earnest posts about not getting caught up in day-to-day stresses (\u201cIt\u2019s going to be okay because it\u2019s small potato stuff\u201d) to jokey posts dismissing advice they have no plan on listening to (\u201cwhen they say Alanis aren\u2019t good for you but that\u2019s small potato stuff.\u201d) This is accompanied by a snippet from Tame Impala\u2019s song <strong>Loser<\/strong>, from the movie\u2019s soundtrack.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to use this trend<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This format is as easy as it gets. Decide what \u201csmall potato stuff\u201d looks like for your account. Are there any notes of support or jokes that fit your niche? Grab 7\u201310 seconds of relevant b-roll. This doesn\u2019t have to be fancy, but if you\u2019re going to make a joke about a particular product, you\u2019ll want it featured in the clip. Type your text over the footage, add this <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/music\/Loser-7545945306422626321\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">audio<\/a>, and then you\u2019re ready to post.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Here are some content angles you can explore<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Share an encouraging message (running accounts can reassure their audience that a disappointing training run is \u201csmall potato stuff.\u201d)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Playfully ignore conventional advice (\u201cwhen they say you don\u2019t need a new set of paintbrushes but that\u2019s small potato stuff,\u201d over footage of your latest art supply haul.)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Pair it with a product that fixes a problem (\u201cwhen you spill red wine on your top but that&#8217;s small potato stuff&#8221; matched with footage of a fast-acting bleach stick removing the offending stain.)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The \u201c \u201d trend<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-tiktok wp-block-embed-tiktok\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"tiktok-embed\" cite=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/@gracebeverley\/video\/7664701652334578966\" data-video-id=\"7664701652334578966\" data-embed-from=\"oembed\" style=\"max-width:605px; min-width:325px;\"> <section> <a target=\"_blank\" title=\"@gracebeverley\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/@gracebeverley?refer=embed\" rel=\"noopener\">@gracebeverley<\/a> <p>Heavy on number 5  <\/p> <a target=\"_blank\" title=\"\u266c \u043e\u0440\u0438\u0433\u0456\u043d\u0430\u043b\u044c\u043d\u0438\u0439 \u0430\u0443\u0434\u0456\u043e\u0437\u0430\u043f\u0438\u0441 - fertyneli\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/music\/\u043e\u0440\u0438\u0433\u0456\u043d\u0430\u043b\u044c\u043d\u0438\u0439-\u0430\u0443\u0434\u0456\u043e\u0437\u0430\u043f\u0438\u0441-7636432572569963271?refer=embed\" rel=\"noopener\">\u266c \u043e\u0440\u0438\u0433\u0456\u043d\u0430\u043b\u044c\u043d\u0438\u0439 \u0430\u0443\u0434\u0456\u043e\u0437\u0430\u043f\u0438\u0441 &#8211; fertyneli<\/a> <\/section> <\/blockquote> <script async src=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/embed.js\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Here\u2019s another easy format. If you can name five things you\u2019re glad you bought, you\u2019re most of the way there. Some splurges are absolute game-changers; others are, well, just splurges. In this trend, creators make the case for the purchases they think are genuinely worth it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The lists can be varied and niche (an education, good-quality bed linen, an Audible subscription, a wool sweater, sumo oranges) or tailored to a specific account niche, like expensive camping gear that\u2019s actually worth buying. This format is useful because they give viewers vouched-for recommendations, but you should still expect some people to disagree with you. In fact, that\u2019s part of what makes the trend work: a list of \u201cthings worth the money\u201d is inherently subjective, which makes it an excellent conversation starter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to use this trend&nbsp;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It\u2019s as simple as it sounds. Grab 7\u201310 seconds of B-roll and type out your five picks. You don\u2019t need to use a particular audio; just choose a trending sound that fits. You can also turn the idea into a carousel, or film yourself talking through the five purchases with corresponding text on screen.&nbsp; Some users vary the trend by switching the angle (\u201cFive things that are worth your time.\u201d) Add whatever trending audio you want.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Here are some content angles you can explore<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Adapt it to your niche (\u201cFive things that are actually worth the money for dog owners\u201d or \u201cFive accessories worth the splurge for skiers.\u201d)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Give the trend a different spin (\u201cFive destinations worth the PTO\u201d or \u201cFive concerts worth the hearing loss.\u201d)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Highlight your favourite products (Brands can spotlight top picks from a new line with a framing like \u201cSweaters that are worth the money, according to our five-star reviewers.\u201d)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The \u201cKinda chic\u201d trend<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-tiktok wp-block-embed-tiktok\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"tiktok-embed\" cite=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/@gilly_kathleen_\/video\/7670302557935291679\" data-video-id=\"7670302557935291679\" data-embed-from=\"oembed\" style=\"max-width:605px; min-width:325px;\"> <section> <a target=\"_blank\" title=\"@gilly_kathleen_\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/@gilly_kathleen_?refer=embed\" rel=\"noopener\">@gilly_kathleen_<\/a> <p>Living my Hannah Montana life <a title=\"corporatelife\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/tag\/corporatelife?refer=embed\" rel=\"noopener\">#corporatelife<\/a> <a title=\"remotejob\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/tag\/remotejob?refer=embed\" rel=\"noopener\">#remotejob<\/a> <a title=\"worklifebalance\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/tag\/worklifebalance?refer=embed\" rel=\"noopener\">#worklifebalance<\/a> <a title=\"travel\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/tag\/travel?refer=embed\" rel=\"noopener\">#travel<\/a> <a title=\"airline\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/tag\/airline?refer=embed\" rel=\"noopener\">#airline<\/a> <\/p> <a target=\"_blank\" title=\"\u266c Minibar - Gracie Abrams\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/music\/Minibar-7661973909998487568?refer=embed\" rel=\"noopener\">\u266c Minibar &#8211; Gracie Abrams<\/a> <\/section> <\/blockquote> <script async src=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/embed.js\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Some people love it; some hate it. But there\u2019s no arguing with the fact that \u201ckinda chic\u201d is dominating TikTok. Moving abroad is kinda chic; starting a PhD is kinda chic; being cringe is kinda chic. The phrase can basically be applied to anything a user finds cool, particularly things that aren\u2019t conventionally thought of that way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It\u2019s caught on so fiercely that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/fashion\/2026\/aug\/14\/why-everything-is-kinda-chic-instagram-tiktok-social-media\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">The Guardian reports<\/a> searches for the phrase are up by 5,000%. There\u2019s also a sizable contingent of the internet that is profoundly sick of it, which has fuelled an anti-chic trend of its own: \u201cIt\u2019s kinda chic to stop saying \u2018kinda chic.\u2019\u201d Whichever team you join, the irony is that the trend&#8217;s very ubiquity has made it both more and less chic simultaneously.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to use this trend&nbsp;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">August is the month of easy B-roll trends! Decide what will be \u201cchic\u201d for you. It works best when you apply the phrase to something you\u2019re proud of or consider cool, but that slightly strays from conventional wisdom: being overdressed or starting over in your thirties.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You can also use it ironically to joke about things you do anyway: \u201cKinda chic to never save your files.\u201d You just need a few seconds of footage, trending audio of your choice, and text overlaid in light yellow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Content angles to explore<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Promote a product or event via chicness (\u201cKinda chic to see the same show three times,\u201d to promote a musical that\u2019s playing all week.)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Reframe something in your niche (\u201cKinda chic to spend three months making one painting.\u201d)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Take the anti-chic stance (Turn the trend on its head with something like \u201cChic is overrated.

In this trend, viewers get to watch the swap in action. The video usually opens facing one friend, with a text overlay like &#8220;Want to try it?&#8221; while they gesture towards their drink or dish, and then a corresponding shot of their companion\u2019s response. Then the perspective shifts to a bird&#8217;s-eye view of the table: two dishes visible, a pair of hands on each side, rotating them across to the other person. The action repeats with another dish or drink. The whole video is set to a snippet of <strong>Edge of the Earth<\/strong> by The Beaches, its lyric &#8220;turn me around, right upside down, spin me like a globe&#8221; landing perfectly as the food spins.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to use this trend<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">First things first: go out to a meal with a friend. Horrible, we know. When your drinks arrive, film each person gesturing towards their beverage and asking whether their friend wants to share. There won&#8217;t be any audio from this clip in the final video, so don&#8217;t worry about background noise. Then clear everything else off that section of the table, leaving only the two drinks, and position your camera directly overhead. A tripod helps here, since your hands will be occupied. You and your friend simultaneously grab your own drink and move it across to the other side, together making a loose circular motion. Repeat with the next round of drinks or dishes, stitch the clips together in CapCut, add your text overlay to the opening, and pair it with the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/music\/Edge-of-the-Earth-7265576659892504578\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">trending audio<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Content angles to explore<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Show off your menu (hospitality accounts can use the trend to run through a selection of new cocktails or seasonal specials).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Take it beyond food (the format works just as well for other kinds of collections. BookTok accounts, for example, could rotate through books they\u2019ve recently read or want to recommend).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Tell a bigger story (use the trend to document an entire experience rather than a single meal, like everything you ate on a trip or a week\u2019s worth of packed lunches.)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The flicker transition trend<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-tiktok wp-block-embed-tiktok\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"tiktok-embed\" cite=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/@cabaulifestyle\/video\/7671290526066429216\" data-video-id=\"7671290526066429216\" data-embed-from=\"oembed\" style=\"max-width:605px; min-width:325px;\"> <section> <a target=\"_blank\" title=\"@cabaulifestyle\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/@cabaulifestyle?refer=embed\" rel=\"noopener\">@cabaulifestyle<\/a> <p>We&#8217;re glowmaxxing this summer\u2728 Thanks to our new Collagen + Energy 2.0\ud83c\udf53\ud83c\udf4b\u200d\ud83d\udfe9 Drop 1 emoji that matches your glow today\ud83d\udc47\ud83c\udffb <a title=\"cabaulifestyle\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/tag\/cabaulifestyle?refer=embed\" rel=\"noopener\">#Cabaulifestyle<\/a> <a title=\"summer\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/tag\/summer?refer=embed\" rel=\"noopener\">#summer<\/a> <a title=\"glow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/tag\/glow?refer=embed\" rel=\"noopener\">#glow<\/a> <a title=\"summerglow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/tag\/summerglow?refer=embed\" rel=\"noopener\">#summerglow<\/a> <a title=\"collagen\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/tag\/collagen?refer=embed\" rel=\"noopener\">#collagen<\/a> <\/p> <a target=\"_blank\" title=\"\u266c original sound - stevenwommack\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/music\/original-sound-7645214841451383584?refer=embed\" rel=\"noopener\">\u266c original sound &#8211; stevenwommack<\/a> <\/section> <\/blockquote> <script async src=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/embed.js\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Instead of transitioning between one image to the next, what if you had them both blinking at the same time? In this trend, users rapidly flicker between two clips: one, then the other, then back to the first for the length of the video.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This effect is generally used to showcase atmospheric imagery. Seascapes are particularly popular, and the dramatic audio gives the video a grand, cinematic quality. The rapid back-and-forth can make ordinary footage feel surreal and dreamlike.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to use this trend<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Record two clips. There\u2019s no hard-and-fast rule for what they should show, but a popular pairing is a scenic shot of water and a clip of a person standing on the shore.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Upload both clips to CapCut. Select the scenic clip and choose Overlay. Drag that clip below the first one in the timeline. Now go through the timeline and split the second clip into short, evenly spaced segments. The closer together the cuts, the faster the flicker will feel. Once you\u2019ve split the entire clip, delete every other segment so the two scenes alternate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Add the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/music\/original-sound-7645214841451383584\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">trending audio<\/a>, and you\u2019re done.

Sometimes called the \u201cbig bold text\u201d trend, this effect gives ordinary typography the warped, oversized look of a fisheye photograph. The letters bulge towards the viewer, creating a playful, almost three-dimensional effect that can give visual interest to even the simplest text posts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to use this trend<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There are plenty of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/@flowwitharty\/video\/7634791368031767815?q=fisheye%20text&amp;t=1787429371788\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">tutorials<\/a> for creating the effect in Instagram\u2019s Edits app, but here\u2019s how to do it in CapCut.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Start a new project and import a 16:9 black image. Type whatever text you want in your chosen colour. Go to Styles, and set the line spacing to two. Shrink the text slightly, move it to the centre, then export the project as a video.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Next, start a new project and import whatever 9:16 video you want to use as your background. You\u2019ll probably want something solid enough, so the text will pop. Add the 16:9 text video as an overlay. Select Splice, then choose Lighten to remove the black background. Select Fisheye under Effects. Then choose Object \u2192 Overlay, and the fisheye text should appear over your video.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">From there, play around with the size or placement until you land on the look you want. No specific trending audio is required.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Content angles to explore<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Share words of wisdom (give a familiar quote a more visually interesting treatment.)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Make an announcement (use the oversized text to make a launch date impossible to miss.)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Give your usual posts a new look (check your content calendar for upcoming text posts, then give one of them the eye-catching fisheye treatment for a visual refresh.)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h1 class=\"wp-block-heading\">July TikTok trends<\/h1>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The sketch-to-life trend<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-tiktok wp-block-embed-tiktok\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"tiktok-embed\" cite=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/@shaylahukill\/video\/7655085724122778893\" data-video-id=\"7655085724122778893\" data-embed-from=\"oembed\" style=\"max-width:605px; min-width:325px;\"> <section> <a target=\"_blank\" title=\"@shaylahukill\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/@shaylahukill?refer=embed\" rel=\"noopener\">@shaylahukill<\/a> <p>love this drawing trend!  <a title=\"drawingtransition\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/tag\/drawingtransition?refer=embed\" rel=\"noopener\">#drawingtransition<\/a> <a title=\"acaibowls\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/tag\/acaibowls?refer=embed\" rel=\"noopener\">#acaibowls<\/a> <a title=\"summer\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/tag\/summer?refer=embed\" rel=\"noopener\">#summer<\/a> <a title=\"smoothiebowl\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/tag\/smoothiebowl?refer=embed\" rel=\"noopener\">#smoothiebowl<\/a> <a title=\"capcut\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/tag\/capcut?refer=embed\" rel=\"noopener\">#capcut<\/a> <\/p> <a target=\"_blank\" title=\"\u266c California - The Lagoons\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/music\/California-6757901978027689985?refer=embed\" rel=\"noopener\">\u266c California &#8211; The Lagoons<\/a> <\/section> <\/blockquote> <script async src=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/embed.js\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-tiktok wp-block-embed-tiktok\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"tiktok-embed\" cite=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/@charmainelwj\/video\/7650497738572041493\" data-video-id=\"7650497738572041493\" data-embed-from=\"oembed\" style=\"max-width:605px; min-width:325px;\"> <section> <a target=\"_blank\" title=\"@charmainelwj\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/@charmainelwj?refer=embed\" rel=\"noopener\">@charmainelwj<\/a> <p>[EASY EDIT] Outfit Sketch Tutorial \u270d\ud83c\udffb If you want the sketching effect to be slower, just expand the animation transition to adjust the speed <a title=\"trending\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/tag\/trending?refer=embed\" rel=\"noopener\">#trending<\/a> <a title=\"fyp\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/tag\/fyp?refer=embed\" rel=\"noopener\">#fyp<\/a> <a title=\"ootd\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/tag\/ootd?refer=embed\" rel=\"noopener\">#ootd<\/a> <a title=\"fashion\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/tag\/fashion?refer=embed\" rel=\"noopener\">#fashion<\/a> <a title=\"tutorial\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/tag\/tutorial?refer=embed\" rel=\"noopener\">#tutorial<\/a> <\/p> <a target=\"_blank\" title=\"\u266c \u6709\u8da3\u4f11\u606f\u4e2d\u60c5\u6000 - \u665a\u9910\u64ad\u653e\u5217\u8868\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/music\/\u6709\u8da3\u4f11\u606f\u4e2d\u60c5\u6000-7553576175366424603?refer=embed\" rel=\"noopener\">\u266c \u6709\u8da3\u4f11\u606f\u4e2d\u60c5\u6000 &#8211; \u665a\u9910\u64ad\u653e\u5217\u8868<\/a> <\/section> <\/blockquote> <script async src=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/embed.js\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You might have seen this trick going around your FYP. A video starts with a real-life setting that a creator roughly sketches onto the scene. Maybe they add toppings to an ice cream sundae, or plan a new garden layout. Then, their drawings come to life: the video transitions to the same setting, but instead of a simple drawing of a cherry, a real cherry has appeared in its place. It&#8217;s creative, it&#8217;s fun, and it adds a little bit of magic to the feed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to use this trend<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Start by deciding on your base scene. Choose something you can add to in small, distinct steps, like a Christmas tree waiting to be decorated or an outfit built up in layers.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Film the base, and set up your filming arrangement so it&#8217;s easy to return to consistently between takes. A tripod or a piece of tape marking your spot both work well. Then record each additional clip, adding one new element at a time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Once you have all your footage, bring it into CapCut or your editing software of choice. Select the text tool, then switch to the draw option \u2014 here you can adjust the colour, texture, and opacity of your brush (you\u2019ll want to make it very slightly transparent). Navigate to the clip where a new item first appears, use the eyedropper tool to sample its colour, and trace over it. Then drag that drawing layer back so it sits over the previous clip, hit &#8220;Animate,&#8221; select &#8220;Order In,&#8221; and set the animation length to around three seconds. You can extend the first clip and use a similar animation process to add sketched text to your video\u2019s opening and create a creative title effect. Repeat this process for each new element you&#8217;ve added.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Here are some content angles you can explore<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Advertise your product one item at a time (build an outfit from your line&#8217;s new releases, or assemble a room using your brand&#8217;s bedding and homewares \u2014 each sketch reveal becomes a mini product moment.)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Show how you make something \u2014 or how you customise it (hospitality and lifestyle accounts can walk through assembling the perfect granola bowl or charcuterie tray, with each new ingredient sketched in before it appears.)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Use art to tease your art (visual artists can do a meta-reveal, using rough animated sketches that give way to the finished, detailed piece underneath.)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The <strong>you seem pretty sad for a girl so in love<\/strong> trends<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-tiktok wp-block-embed-tiktok\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"tiktok-embed\" cite=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/@withinreachcrafts\/video\/7657053959558876429\" data-video-id=\"7657053959558876429\" data-embed-from=\"oembed\" style=\"max-width:605px; min-width:325px;\"> <section> <a target=\"_blank\" title=\"@withinreachcrafts\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/@withinreachcrafts?refer=embed\" rel=\"noopener\">@withinreachcrafts<\/a> <p>posting this in a new city too <a title=\"travel\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/tag\/travel?refer=embed\" rel=\"noopener\">#travel<\/a> <a title=\"limitingbeliefs\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/tag\/limitingbeliefs?refer=embed\" rel=\"noopener\">#limitingbeliefs<\/a> <a title=\"wander\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/tag\/wander?refer=embed\" rel=\"noopener\">#wander<\/a> <\/p> <a target=\"_blank\" title=\"\u266c u + me = &lt;3 - Olivia Rodrigo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/music\/u-me-=-3-7649983963347896336?refer=embed\" rel=\"noopener\">\u266c u + me = &lt;3 &#8211; Olivia Rodrigo<\/a> <\/section> <\/blockquote> <script async src=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/embed.js\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-tiktok wp-block-embed-tiktok\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"tiktok-embed\" cite=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/@lucytravels_26\/video\/7659077988742483222\" data-video-id=\"7659077988742483222\" data-embed-from=\"oembed\" style=\"max-width:605px; min-width:325px;\"> <section> <a target=\"_blank\" title=\"@lucytravels_26\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/@lucytravels_26?refer=embed\" rel=\"noopener\">@lucytravels_26<\/a> <p>Life is just too short <\/p> <a target=\"_blank\" title=\"\u266c original sound - \u17b1 \u179f\u17bb\u1797\u17b6\u179c\u17b8 - \u17b1 \u179f\u17bb\u1797\u17b6\u179c\u17b8\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/music\/original-sound-\u17b1-\u179f\u17bb\u1797\u17b6\u179c\u17b8-7630129808967420692?refer=embed\" rel=\"noopener\">\u266c original sound &#8211; \u17b1 \u179f\u17bb\u1797\u17b6\u179c\u17b8 &#8211; \u17b1 \u179f\u17bb\u1797\u17b6\u179c\u17b8<\/a> <\/section> <\/blockquote> <script async src=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/embed.js\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Singer-songwriter, Gen Z icon, and professional heartbreak chronicler Olivia Rodrigo has dropped a new album,<strong> you seem pretty sad for a girl so in love<\/strong>, and the internet has immediately started making content around it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Like any major album release, this isn\u2019t one single trend; it\u2019s a collection of different ways creators are using the new songs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One popular option comes from <strong>drop dead<\/strong>, Rodrigo\u2019s lead single. The chorus goes, \u201cI\u2019m the most alive I\u2019ve ever been, but kiss me and I might drop dead.\u201d Don\u2019t worry about the kissing part; creators are running with the first half. They overlay the lyric \u201cThe most alive I\u2019ve ever been\u201d on top of a montage of rowing, travelling, cheering at the World Cup, or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/@lucytravels_26\/video\/7659077988742483222\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">whatever makes them feel alive<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Another trend pulls from<strong> u + me = &lt;3<\/strong> and its lyric, \u201cI know everybody changes but I hope that we don\u2019t.\u201d Here, creators lean into nostalgia. They use carousels to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/@lilianskates\/video\/7658344601245289742?q=i%20know%20everybody%20changes&amp;t=1783405733150\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">compare the past and present<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/@sasaa.lifestyle\/video\/7657160817921592609?q=i%20know%20everybody%20changes&amp;t=1783406115484\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">make montages celebrating bonds that have lasted<\/a>, or overlay the sound over footage of moments that make us wish we could freeze in time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">More recently, audio from <strong>honeybee<\/strong> has started taking off. The lyric, \u201cBut even when I\u2019m quiet, I love you baby, I promise,\u201d has inspired creators to play with the literal visibility of words.<a href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/@fery0304\/video\/7656971377089531153\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> For example,<\/a> a video celebrating the love felt for a morning drink might show the text \u201cI love you baby, I promise\u201d in green, while the rest of the caption stays white.

Don\u2019t be daunted by the romance of it all. Rodrigo might sing about heartbreak, but she\u2019s also one of the internet\u2019s biggest pop stars, and creators are finding plenty of ways to interpret these lyrics beyond a conventional love story.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If none of these formats fit your content, you can always take the simplest route: add one of Rodrigo\u2019s trending songs to something you were already planning to post and let the algorithm do the rest.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Here are some content angles you can explore<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Use<strong> u + me = &lt;3<\/strong> to celebrate the team behind your account (stitch together clips showing the evolution of a family business over time, or the small moments of connection between teammates during practice).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Share what makes you feel awake with <strong>drop dead <\/strong>(pair the audio with footage of your band performing to a cheering crowd.)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Let your audience see what you love with <strong>honeybee<\/strong> (use the disappearing text effect to highlight a favourite product, like seasonal colours blending into a new collection.)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The \u201cCharger for my phone, charger for me\u201d trend<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-tiktok wp-block-embed-tiktok\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"tiktok-embed\" cite=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/@rhea_matcha\/video\/7669107374673743126\" data-video-id=\"7669107374673743126\" data-embed-from=\"oembed\" style=\"max-width:605px; min-width:325px;\"> <section> <a target=\"_blank\" title=\"@rhea_matcha\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/@rhea_matcha?refer=embed\" rel=\"noopener\">@rhea_matcha<\/a> <p><a title=\"matcha\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/tag\/matcha?refer=embed\" rel=\"noopener\">#matcha<\/a> <a title=\"summertrends\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/tag\/summertrends?refer=embed\" rel=\"noopener\">#summertrends<\/a> <a title=\"summerdrinks\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/tag\/summerdrinks?refer=embed\" rel=\"noopener\">#summerdrinks<\/a> <a title=\"matchalover\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/tag\/matchalover?refer=embed\" rel=\"noopener\">#matchalover<\/a> <a title=\"summerdays\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/tag\/summerdays?refer=embed\" rel=\"noopener\">#summerdays<\/a> <\/p> <a target=\"_blank\" title=\"\u266c Saxophones getting louder - Sped Up - AntonioVivald\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/music\/Saxophones-getting-louder-Sped-Up-7639417177691473937?refer=embed\" rel=\"noopener\">\u266c Saxophones getting louder &#8211; Sped Up &#8211; AntonioVivald<\/a> <\/section> <\/blockquote> <script async src=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/embed.js\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This is one of July\u2019s best lazy-day content hacks. You don\u2019t need to film anything, and you have the chance to put any rusty collaging skills to use. In this trend, creators compare the literal charger for the phone with the metaphorical charger for their happiness: dogs, video games, Oreo cookies, anything that helps you recharge. Our favourite version of this trend is the still carousel post with a simple graphic background: at the top, text reads &#8220;Charger for my phone:&#8221; above an image of a regular phone charger, and at the bottom, &#8220;Charger for me:&#8221; above a collage of whatever fills your tank.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There&#8217;s also a video version, where creators film their phone charger and cut to the charger for a niche device (a game controller, wireless headphones) as a stand-in for their happiness. It can land well with the right audience, but it&#8217;s less versatile than the carousel and will naturally have a smaller reach.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to use this trend&nbsp;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">No filming required for this one. Open Canva, Photoshop, or whatever design tool you prefer and start with a simple graphic background. You can do a single colour or minimal design elements, but the background shouldn\u2019t distract from your images. Source a photo of a phone charger (stock or generated imagery is fine) for the top half, and collage together images of your &#8220;recharge&#8221; items for the bottom. Again, you don&#8217;t need to photograph these yourself unless it&#8217;s something specific to you or your brand.

As Gaga sings, &#8220;Sorry I cannot hear you, I&#8217;m kind of busy,&#8221; creators appear in a starting setting \u2014 let\u2019s say the security queue at the airport or a library late at night \u2014 lip-syncing while pretending to answer a phone call. Then, when the beat drops, the video cuts to a second, more exciting scene: exploring a new city or walking across a stage in cap and gown. Sometimes that second half becomes a montage of different moments, but either way, the idea is the same: being &#8220;kind of busy&#8221; suddenly looks pretty great.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to use this trend<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">First, decide what your two (or more) locations will be. They should relate to one another, with the first feeling decidedly less glamorous than the second (think: waiting in line versus dancing at the concert you were waiting to get into). In the opening clip, &#8220;answer&#8221; the phone, either with a real one or by miming the gesture. Lip-sync the Gaga lyric, playing up the joke by acting like you can&#8217;t quite hear the caller. Then, when the beat drops, you have about seven seconds to show what your &#8220;kind of busy&#8221; actually looks like. This can be one continuous clip, like walking to the podium to give a keynote speech, or a fast-paced montage of different moments. Pair it with this <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/search?q=sorry%20i%20cannot%20hear%20you%20i%27m&amp;t=1783066859057\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">audio<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Content angles to explore<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Celebrate a milestone you\u2019ve been busy working toward (drafting contracts and design plans \u2192 the launch party for your new company.)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Share a peek inside a destination (dragging luggage through arrivals \u2192 the hotel room reveal.)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Promote an event (the setup, featuring sound tests and a final sweep of the venue \u2192 a packed room, crowds laughing, glasses clinking.)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The vertical schedule trend<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-tiktok wp-block-embed-tiktok\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"tiktok-embed\" cite=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/@livi_fe\/video\/7659089991028460830\" data-video-id=\"7659089991028460830\" data-embed-from=\"oembed\" style=\"max-width:605px; min-width:325px;\"> <section> <a target=\"_blank\" title=\"@livi_fe\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/@livi_fe?refer=embed\" rel=\"noopener\">@livi_fe<\/a> <p>Summer schedule on repeat <a title=\"fyp\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/tag\/fyp?refer=embed\" rel=\"noopener\">#fyp<\/a> <a title=\"tennis\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/tag\/tennis?refer=embed\" rel=\"noopener\">#tennis<\/a> <a title=\"swim\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/tag\/swim?refer=embed\" rel=\"noopener\">#swim<\/a> <a title=\"europe\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/tag\/europe?refer=embed\" rel=\"noopener\">#europe<\/a> <\/p> <a target=\"_blank\" title=\"\u266c originalljud - user9283848281934\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/music\/originalljud-7290662492383398688?refer=embed\" rel=\"noopener\">\u266c originalljud &#8211; user9283848281934<\/a> <\/section> <\/blockquote> <script async src=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/embed.js\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This is probably one of the most aesthetic schedule trends we&#8217;ve seen in a while. Creators present their day by vertically stacking four clips, each overlaid with a time stamp \u2014 &#8220;9am&#8221; over footage of a morning coffee, &#8220;12pm&#8221; over footage at the pool, &#8220;3pm&#8221; over a hand reaching for tacos, &#8220;9pm&#8221; over clinking champagne glasses. Typically this is used to share a holiday schedule, but there&#8217;s no reason you can&#8217;t document a different kind of day: an overnight camping trip, a creative work schedule, or a routine as an entrepreneur.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to use this trend<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Record four clips in landscape orientation. You only need around five to seven seconds each. There should be some gentle movement, but it can be as subtle as leaves blowing in the wind; the motion is for texture, not narrative. Open TikTok, select the right format, and upload the clips in chronological order. Add the timestamp over the corresponding footage, pair with trending audio of your choice, and you&#8217;re done.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Content angles to explore<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Highlight your offerings (hospitality and hotel accounts can show off their accommodations, drinks, and recreation across a dreamy day.)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Visually narrate your day (fitness coaches can show how health means balance outside of the gym, with social walks and fresh meals; entrepreneurs can share what work looks like outside the typical nine-to-five schedule.)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Sneak your product into one slot (show a day in the life, but dedicate one time stamp to the product or service you want to highlight.)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h1 class=\"wp-block-heading\">June TikTok trends<\/h1>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Charli XCX \u201cRock Music\u201d trend<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-tiktok wp-block-embed-tiktok\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"tiktok-embed\" cite=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/@jonasbrothers\/video\/7645442599209258254\" data-video-id=\"7645442599209258254\" data-embed-from=\"oembed\" style=\"max-width:605px; min-width:325px;\"> <section> <a target=\"_blank\" title=\"@jonasbrothers\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/@jonasbrothers?refer=embed\" rel=\"noopener\">@jonasbrothers<\/a> <p><\/p> <a target=\"_blank\" title=\"\u266c Rock Music - Charli xcx\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/music\/Rock-Music-7636819018083321857?refer=embed\" rel=\"noopener\">\u266c Rock Music &#8211; Charli xcx<\/a> <\/section> <\/blockquote> <script async src=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/embed.js\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-tiktok wp-block-embed-tiktok\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"tiktok-embed\" cite=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/@timmyst.jean\/video\/7639162708272729375\" data-video-id=\"7639162708272729375\" data-embed-from=\"oembed\" style=\"max-width:605px; min-width:325px;\"> <section> <a target=\"_blank\" title=\"@timmyst.jean\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/@timmyst.jean?refer=embed\" rel=\"noopener\">@timmyst.jean<\/a> <p>a new supreme has risen \ud83c\udf77 video tomorrow divs \ud83d\ude0f<\/p> <a target=\"_blank\" title=\"\u266c Rock Music - Charli xcx\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/music\/Rock-Music-7636819018083321857?refer=embed\" rel=\"noopener\">\u266c Rock Music &#8211; Charli xcx<\/a> <\/section> <\/blockquote> <script async src=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/embed.js\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Charli XCX is back after <strong>Brat<\/strong> summer with a new single, <strong>Rock Music<\/strong> \u2014 so, of course, it\u2019s taking over TikTok. In the track Charli sings, <em>\u201c<\/em>I think the dancefloor is dead, so now we\u2019re making rock music<em>.\u201d<\/em> Right as she says \u201crock music,\u201d her vocals begin to sound glitchy as compressed guitar audio loops.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Creators are using that glitch moment to literally break their videos: people mid-jump appear to be shaking in mid-air, and objects freeze mid-motion. Whatever the footage contains, it visually \u201cstutters\u201d at the same moment the song does. The trend works across pretty much any context, and instantly plugs your account into the current alt-pop internet moment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to use this trend<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Choose a short clip and upload it to TikTok. This could be a fit check, sports footage, band practice, or a shot of your day at work. Add the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/music\/Rock-Music-7636819018083321857\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">trending sound<\/a>, and when you hit \u201crock music,\u201d split the section of the video you want to highlight. Add the \u201cstuck frame\u201d effect to make it glitch. You want to time it so that the stutter lands on a visually interesting moment, like a singer headbanging their hair or an athlete who has just kicked the ball. Even though your final video should be around seven seconds, it\u2019s easiest if you film a slightly longer clip so you have more flexibility when choosing the exact \u201crock music\u201d moment to cut and sync the glitch. Some users also do a variation on the trend where they add a text overlay, replacing the word \u201cdancefloor\u201d in the lyric \u201cI think the dancefloor is dead,\u201d with whatever trend they\u2019d like to see go out of style.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Here are some content angles you can explore<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Dramatize a moment of movement (basketball players can show shots frozen mid-air, gymnasts can repeat a gravity-defying trick.)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Add an edgy, technical vibe to animations (the glitch in looped artwork can interrupt the flow of the image, mimicking a software stutter or visual crash before recovering.)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Share what trend you think is on its way out (\u201cI think the biscoff latte craze is dead, so now we\u2019re making rock music.\u201d)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The \u201cYes.

Creators split the screen horizontally into two stacked clips or images. The top is labeled &#8220;Yes&#8221; and shows something desirable or exciting, while the bottom is labeled &#8220;But&#8221; and shows the catch. For example, the \u201cYes\u201d panel might show a snowboarder in the middle of a trick, while \u201cBut\u201d shows their leg in a cast; or \u201cYes\u201d could show an iridescent artwork while \u201cBut\u201d shows the glitter that\u2019s ended up in every cranny of the house. Some users get creative and reverse it, so that \u201cYes\u201d shows the undesirable image, like a stack of rejections, while \u201cBut\u201d shows the acceptance that made it all worth it.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You don\u2019t have to explain the joke. Just stick to the contrasting visuals and one-word labels. This trend works best when it leans into &#8220;if you know, you know&#8221; territory: a smear of graphite across the side of your hand and forearm after a drawing session, which either resonates instantly or flies over your head. Your audience will get it, and they\u2019ll probably like that not everyone does.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to use this trend&nbsp;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Choose two visuals related to your niche: one that illustrates &#8220;Yes&#8221; and one that illustrates &#8220;But.&#8221; The relationship should be subtle enough that it doesn\u2019t feel over-explained, but still clear enough that it lands. Upload them stacked on top of each other on TikTok and add the text overlay over the corresponding panels. Some users sync it as a single video (&#8220;Yes&#8221; plays first, then cuts to &#8220;But&#8221;), though the split-screen still image or carousel approach is more common. There&#8217;s no particular audio you need to use.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Here are some content angles you can explore<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Connect with your hobby or field (a rock climber shows \u201cYes\u201d as finally finding a route that looks doable, and \u201cBut\u201d as realising it\u2019s somehow already crowded.)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Flip the format to encouraging content (a parenting account shows \u201cYes&#8221; as toys strewn across every surface, and a &#8220;But&#8221; of a toddler asleep on their chest.)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Show how your product solves a problem (a tax app shows &#8220;Yes&#8221; as a towering pile of paperwork, and &#8220;But&#8221; as a notification that taxes are all filed.)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The \u201cThis is my why\u201d trend&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-tiktok wp-block-embed-tiktok\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"tiktok-embed\" cite=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/@judymariegartner\/video\/7650974770292428063\" data-video-id=\"7650974770292428063\" data-embed-from=\"oembed\" style=\"max-width:605px; min-width:325px;\"> <section> <a target=\"_blank\" title=\"@judymariegartner\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/@judymariegartner?refer=embed\" rel=\"noopener\">@judymariegartner<\/a> <p>my why forever \ud83c\udf75\ud83d\ude2d\u2b50\ufe0f<\/p> <a target=\"_blank\" title=\"\u266c original sound - \u20ac\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/music\/original-sound-7508756816294103838?refer=embed\" rel=\"noopener\">\u266c original sound &#8211; \u20ac<\/a> <\/section> <\/blockquote> <script async src=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/embed.js\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Here&#8217;s a quick one for a day when you need to schedule content but really just want to use the B-roll you already have saved. In this trend, users share their &#8220;why&#8221; \u2014 their reason to get up in the morning, the driving force that motivates them. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Originally, it was a couple&#8217;s format: one user posted that her \u201creason why\u201d was her husband, who set up a hummingbird feeder to delight her, and another TikTokker wrote that his \u201cwhy\u201d was his partner, who always brings him coffee in bed. But creators have since expanded the trend to celebrate all kinds of things they love (a quasi-romantic relationship with a morning matcha, a walk along the beach, a beloved dog) paired with text like &#8220;If you ask me why I&#8217;m excited to get up in the morning\u2026 this is my why.&#8221; <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Although this trend has grown beyond initial use, the \u201ccouple&#8217;s energy\u201d is still an important part of it. When creators use it, they\u2019re generally either making a tongue-in-cheek joke about their devotion to non-romantic things or, in some cases, challenging the idea that romance is the only thing that inspires this type of dedication.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>How to use this trend<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This is a super easy trend to execute on a technical level. You select B-roll footage of your chosen \u201cwhy,\u201d upload it to TikTok, and add some variation of the \u201cThis is my why\u201d text. You can keep it simple or make it more elaborate (one example reads, \u201cI\u2019m Sam and every day I look forward to this exact moment here: putting on an excessive amount of blush. That\u2019s my why.\u201d) Then you add the trending audio, and you\u2019re good to go. The key is choosing the right \u201cwhy\u201d \u2014 the trend plays on romantic framing, so you want something you love in a slightly exaggerated, affectionate way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Here are some content angles you can explore<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Promote how your brand can become your customer\u2019s new \u201cwhy\u201d (hospitality accounts can promote the entrees or cocktails that guests will fall in love with, skincare brands can highlight the moisturizer that becomes part of a daily ritual, and \u201cthe reason you get up in the morning\u201d)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Highlight what you love most about your niche (travel accounts can use the trend to showcase the places or adventures that keep drawing them back, presenting scenic vistas and moments on the road as their \u201creason why\u201d)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Share what makes your work meaningful (writers can show their \u201cwhy\u201d moments with heartfelt notes from fans, physiotherapists can share a patient\u2019s first steps after recovery)&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-tiktok wp-block-embed-tiktok\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"tiktok-embed\" cite=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/@miaearlsart\/video\/7642728785460202782\" data-video-id=\"7642728785460202782\" data-embed-from=\"oembed\" style=\"max-width:605px;

In real life, people wipe their phone cameras before filming because the lens picks up a bit of grime from being out in the world, but in this trend, wiping it has a more magical effect. Users show a few seconds of footage of a scene (counter laid out with ingredients, a bedroom with clothes all over the floor) with the text &#8220;Wait, let me wipe the camera&#8221; overlaid on top. They rub the lens with a cloth or their hand, and when it&#8217;s removed, the same scene has been miraculously improved: the ingredients have become a finished casserole, the clothes have vanished, and the text now reads &#8220;Much better.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>How to use this trend<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Grab your first clip \u2014 you only need about two seconds of &#8220;before&#8221; footage. Some creators actually skip the introductory shot, but the contrast lands better when you include it. Then cover the lens with your hand or a cloth and mime cleaning it. At this point, stop filming and improve the scene however you were planning to: bake the cake, assemble the furniture, tidy the room. Then record the &#8220;after&#8221; clip from the same angle. To make it look like one continuous shot, prop your phone on a stable surface and mark the spot with tape so your framing stays consistent between takes. Add &#8220;Wait, let me wipe the camera&#8221; as a text overlay over the &#8220;before&#8221; clip, then swap it for &#8220;Much better&#8221; once the scene has transformed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Content angles to explore<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Show an unboxing of your product (footage of a retail bag for \u201cLet me wipe the camera\u201d followed by footage of the haul of new sweaters laid out in its place for \u201cMuch better\u201d.)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Share your creative work before-and-after (share a rough sketch before wiping the camera and revealing a \u201cMuch better\u201d finished piece.)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Teach something useful<strong> <\/strong>(Show incorrect lifting form, wipe, and correct it, or share an awkwardly arranged room that becomes a well-styled one after a lens clean.)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h1 class=\"wp-block-heading\">May TikTok trends<\/h1>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The \u201cMillennial Marketing Team Vs gen z social team\u201d trend<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-tiktok wp-block-embed-tiktok\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"tiktok-embed\" cite=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/@busymomma131\/video\/7637149050764004639\" data-video-id=\"7637149050764004639\" data-embed-from=\"oembed\" style=\"max-width:605px; min-width:325px;\"> <section> <a target=\"_blank\" title=\"@busymomma131\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/@busymomma131?refer=embed\" rel=\"noopener\">@busymomma131<\/a> <p><a title=\"greenscreen\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/tag\/greenscreen?refer=embed\" rel=\"noopener\">#greenscreen<\/a> <a title=\"millenialsoftiktok\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/tag\/millenialsoftiktok?refer=embed\" rel=\"noopener\">#millenialsoftiktok<\/a> <a title=\"genzvsmillenial\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/tag\/genzvsmillenial?refer=embed\" rel=\"noopener\">#genzvsmillenial<\/a> <a title=\"genz\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/tag\/genz?refer=embed\" rel=\"noopener\">#genz<\/a> <a title=\"socialmediamarketing\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/tag\/socialmediamarketing?refer=embed\" rel=\"noopener\">#socialmediamarketing<\/a>  Millennial Marketing vs Gen Z Marketing Posts<\/p> <a target=\"_blank\" title=\"\u266c original sound - nicole \u2728\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/music\/original-sound-7637149015322200863?refer=embed\" rel=\"noopener\">\u266c original sound &#8211; nicole \u2728<\/a> <\/section> <\/blockquote> <script async src=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/embed.js\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Social media teams from Applebee\u2019s, Keurig, Dr. Pepper, and basically every other major brand on the market are poking fun at themselves with this self-aware, slightly meta trend. The format compares how millennials and Gen Z approach internet culture and brand marketing, usually by presenting th two styles side by side.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Typically, the post is split into two columns separated by a line: \u201cMillennial Marketing Team\u201d on the left and \u201cgen z social team\u201d on the right, already signaling the tonal difference through capitalisation alone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Both sides usually feature the same image, but the captions take dramatically different approaches. The millennial side tends to be longer, more formal, and slightly too enthusiastic, often using classic 2010s internet-era language like \u201cdoggo\u201d or \u201cadulting.\u201d The Gen Z side, meanwhile, keeps things minimal: one dry, hyper-online remark like \u201cit\u2019s giving\u2026\u201d or \u201cnot me eating three taquitos\u2026\u201d surrounded by ironic emojis.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Both styles are trying to accomplish the same thing, just through completely different internet dialects. And if your brand sits somewhere between the two? Even better. The format lets you go for both at once. Very \u201chave your cake and eat it too,\u201d king.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to use this trend<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Create a blank screen (white is the most popular choice, though some brands use themed or colourful backgrounds). Add a vertical line down the middle, labeling one side \u201cMillennial Marketing Team\u201d or \u201cMillennial PR Team\u201d and the other \u201cgen z social team.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Next, place the same image on both sides, usually a product photo or promotional image. Keep the left side relatively clean and straightforward, while the Gen Z side often adds extra emojis, stickers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Then write the captions in each generation\u2019s stereotypical internet voice. For the millennial side, lean into over-explaining. The copy should be polished, a little too long, and hovering somewhere between corporate marketing language and 2014 internet humor. Petco\u2019s version is a good example: \u201cFor the pet parent who wants the very best for their fur babies. At Petco, you\u2019ll find thoughtfully curated products, trusted nutrition, and expert-backed care to support every stage of their life. Your fur babies deserve quality you can feel good about. The doggos are going to love it.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Meanwhile, the Gen Z side should be extremely short, hyper-online, and almost aggressively casual. There should not be a capital letter in sight, and as little punctuation as you can get away with without sacrificing legibility. Petco\u2019s Gen Z caption simply reads: \u201cbe so fr they need another toy\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Generally, this is posted as a still image or part of a carousel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Here are some content angles you can explore<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Advertise your product in two ways (brands can show their actual benefits on the left side, while making a tongue-in-cheek joke on the right.)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Demonstrate your creativity with mock applications (reimagine how the format would work across different products or references, e.g., BookTok creators turning viral novels into split-screen \u201cmillennial vs Gen Z\u201d marketing breakdowns in a carousel.)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Give it some movement (take inspiration from<a href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/@mother\/video\/7637259530258091294?q=gen%20z%20vs%20millenial&amp;t=1779773049591\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> examples<\/a> that add motion to a typically still format.)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The \u201cBut my name is\u2026so that\u2019s okay\u201d trend<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-tiktok wp-block-embed-tiktok\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"tiktok-embed\" cite=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/@mnwild\/video\/7643466642625744142\" data-video-id=\"7643466642625744142\" data-embed-from=\"oembed\" style=\"max-width:605px; min-width:325px;\"> <section> <a target=\"_blank\" title=\"@mnwild\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/@mnwild?refer=embed\" rel=\"noopener\">@mnwild<\/a> <p>whatever works <a title=\"quinnhughes\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/tag\/quinnhughes?refer=embed\" rel=\"noopener\">#quinnhughes<\/a> <a title=\"mnwild\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/tag\/mnwild?refer=embed\" rel=\"noopener\">#mnwild<\/a> <a title=\"nhl\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/tag\/nhl?refer=embed\" rel=\"noopener\">#nhl<\/a> <\/p> <a target=\"_blank\" title=\"\u266c son original - LePtitMilo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/music\/son-original-7614427798903606038?refer=embed\" rel=\"noopener\">\u266c son original &#8211; LePtitMilo<\/a> <\/section> <\/blockquote> <script async src=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/embed.js\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">All this takes is a few seconds of B-roll, plus a joke that\u2019s halfway already written for you. In this trend, users post a clip with a text overlay in the format: \u201cWhen they say [BLANK], but my name is [BLANK] so I ignore it.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The joke is that the first blank \u2014 the \u201cname\u201d they keep yelling at you \u2014 is usually a cleverly mashed-together phrase that mirrors the situation. For example: \u201cwhen my friends say \u2018pleasedontirishgoodbyetonight\u2019, but my name is nina so I\u2019m already home &lt;3\u201d or \u201cwhen everyone\u2019s yelling \u2018STOPSPENDINGMONEYONSTARBUCKS\u2019 but my name is addison so it\u2019s ok.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The fake name functions as a built-in excuse. At heart, this joke says: I hear what you\u2019re yelling at me, and I\u2019m going to ignore it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>How to use this trend&nbsp;<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">From an editing perspective, this trend is almost too easy. You just grab a short piece of relevant B-roll (ideally something that connects to the joke, but it can be as simple as you sipping coffee), add a text overlay, and pair it with the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/music\/son-original-7614427798903606038\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">trending sound<\/a> for discoverability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The real work is figuring out the punchline. For the \u201cname,\u201d think about phrases people say to you that you consistently ignore or opt out of. This can be something specific to you or your brand (e.g. a hockey account joking \u201cwhen they\u2019re yelling \u2018just use the door,\u2019 but my name is Quinn Hughes, so it\u2019s okay\u201d over footage of Quinn Hughes climbing over the rink instead), which reinforces a recognisable identity. Or it can go in the opposite direction: pick a universal instruction people are all guilty of ignoring to lean into relatability. The format stays consistent, but different users play around with the wording, which makes it adaptable across niches.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Here are some content angles you can explore<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Make a joke your audience will relate to (for designers: \u201cwhen they\u2019re yelling &#8216;stopredoingthebrief,&#8217; but my name is [BLANK] so it\u2019s okay.\u201d)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Build your account\u2019s specific identity (\u201cwhen someone\u2019s saying \u2018swimmingistoocompetitive\u2019 but we\u2019re literally named Slow Paced Swim League so that\u2019s okay.\u201d)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Position your product as the solution (\u201cwhen they\u2019re yelling \u2018let\u2019sgrabanUber,\u2019 but I have an [e-bike\/scooter\/service], so I\u2019m already on my way.\u201d)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The \u201cbalance your expenses\u201d trend<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-tiktok wp-block-embed-tiktok\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"tiktok-embed\" cite=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/@modulovefurniture\/video\/7639081250354941198\" data-video-id=\"7639081250354941198\" data-embed-from=\"oembed\" style=\"max-width:605px; min-width:325px;\"> <section> <a target=\"_blank\" title=\"@modulovefurniture\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/@modulovefurniture?refer=embed\" rel=\"noopener\">@modulovefurniture<\/a> <p>I\u2019m TRYING <a title=\"livingroomdecor\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/tag\/livingroomdecor?refer=embed\" rel=\"noopener\">#livingroomdecor<\/a> <a title=\"decorinspo\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/tag\/decorinspo?refer=embed\" rel=\"noopener\">#decorinspo<\/a> <a title=\"interiordesign\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/tag\/interiordesign?refer=embed\" rel=\"noopener\">#interiordesign<\/a> <a title=\"newapartment\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/tag\/newapartment?refer=embed\" rel=\"noopener\">#newapartment<\/a> <a title=\"livingroomideas\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/tag\/livingroomideas?refer=embed\" rel=\"noopener\">#livingroomideas<\/a> <\/p> <a target=\"_blank\" title=\"\u266c original sound - lyricloo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/music\/original-sound-7584882280616987414?refer=embed\" rel=\"noopener\">\u266c original sound &#8211; lyricloo<\/a> <\/section> <\/blockquote> <script async src=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/embed.js\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-tiktok wp-block-embed-tiktok\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"tiktok-embed\" cite=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/@jiyuskin\/video\/7641734079834049805\" data-video-id=\"7641734079834049805\" data-embed-from=\"oembed\" style=\"max-width:605px; min-width:325px;\"> <section> <a target=\"_blank\" title=\"@jiyuskin\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/@jiyuskin?refer=embed\" rel=\"noopener\">@jiyuskin<\/a> <p>the $ I spend on skincare\u2026 the bank knows.

Like the \u201cbut my name is\u2026\u201d trend, this format takes a common phrase (\u201cyou should balance your expenses\u201d) and deliberately misunderstands it to justify continued spending.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Instead of opening a spreadsheet, creators literally balance their \u201cexpenses\u201d on their bodies. Usually, these expenses are indulgences: handbags, skincare, coffees, gadgets, or any other product that might be draining their bank accounts, but are simply too fun to give up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>How to use this trend<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">First, decide what your \u201cexpense\u201d is going to be. Products that physically balance well on the human body (think: handbags, mugs, books, handcrafted keychains) are the easiest fit. If your brand doesn\u2019t sell a naturally balance-able object, use related items instead, like <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/@lumedental\/video\/7626002380638719254\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">branded packaging<\/a> or merch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you\u2019re posting as an individual creator, think about the thing <em>you<\/em> always end up spending money on, like camera lenses, sneakers, iced coffees, or craft supplies. Choose something that relates to the niche that your audience already associates with you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Next, film a few clips balancing the object in different ways. Most creators keep the poses relatively simple: balancing something on an outstretched arm, a raised foot. This <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/@kpopimusicdk\/video\/7642355099569769750\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">general pose sequence<\/a> is popular and pretty accessible, and if you\u2019re balancing a delicate object, there are some even safer options that still convey the joke without any feats of athleticism. If you can do handstands or more advanced balancing tricks, then that\u2019s better still \u2014 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/@jiyuskin\/video\/7641734079834049805\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">those clips<\/a> tend to stand out more in the feed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Once you have enough footage, edit it into a short video (around 9 seconds works well). Add the text overlay: \u201c\u2018You should balance your expenses\u2019\u201d in quotes as though someone is giving you advice, then pair it with the trending <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/music\/original-sound-FOXYAFFAIRSSG-7605171931705608967\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">audio<\/a> for better reach.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Here are some content angles you can explore<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Balance your product or art (balance your handmade ceramics while (carefully!) posing, or add a branded mug into your yoga routine.)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Share the thing you can\u2019t stop buying (connect with your gaming community by testing just how many controllers you can stack on your body.)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Punch up the visuals with generative video (use AI tools to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/@seyclair\/video\/7606700631365045526\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">create over-the-top balancing scenarios<\/a> that feel more dynamic.)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The \u201cI hope I don\u2019t ruin it\u201d trend<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-tiktok wp-block-embed-tiktok\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"tiktok-embed\" cite=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/@artistkatemuse\/video\/7643964620759158030\" data-video-id=\"7643964620759158030\" data-embed-from=\"oembed\" style=\"max-width:605px; min-width:325px;\"> <section> <a target=\"_blank\" title=\"@artistkatemuse\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/@artistkatemuse?refer=embed\" rel=\"noopener\">@artistkatemuse<\/a> <p>This is the first print in my fun new print club where I\u2019m making art out of crazy\/funny\/cringe dating stories.

This trend plays on that age-old anxiety, but with a twist: the colour looks awesome.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Creators film a sketch in progress and set it to an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/@kitkat.tattoos\/video\/7643638277702012177\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">audio<\/a> remixing PinkPantheress&#8217;s <strong>Illegal<\/strong>. Over the first part of the video, they overlay the text &#8220;I hope I don&#8217;t ruin this by colouring it in,&#8221; adjusting the wording to fit whatever change they&#8217;re about to make. When the phone rings in the song, the text shifts to &#8220;Wait, who&#8217;s calling??&#8221; and as the voice answers &#8220;Hello,&#8221; the video cuts to the finished piece, revealing that the colour (or shading, or inking) made it even better than before.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>How to use this trend<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Film two versions of your artwork: your line drawing or sketch, and the finished piece after you&#8217;ve added colour or shading (or whatever other edit you\u2019re documenting). The before-and-after comparison is the heart of the video.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Cut the clips together in your editing app of choice, timing the reveal to land exactly on &#8220;Hello&#8221; in the audio. Add the text overlays to match the beats: your version of &#8220;I hope I don&#8217;t ruin this&#8221; over the work-in-progress, and &#8220;Wait, who&#8217;s calling??&#8221; as the phone rings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The reveal lands best when the finished piece is legitimately impressive, so save this one for work you&#8217;re extra proud of.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Content angles to explore<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Document your artistic process (the straightforward take is a great way to showcase your before-and-after results.)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Use this trend for other creative processes (bakers can show a cake before and after fondant work; woodworkers can reveal a piece before and after staining.)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Flip the trend (show a piece where adding colour didn&#8217;t work great, or where you had to try a few rounds before it clicked.)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The \u201cMy top 5 horror movies\u201d trend<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-tiktok wp-block-embed-tiktok\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"tiktok-embed\" cite=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/@edwin_pouldar\/video\/7644023644980546830\" data-video-id=\"7644023644980546830\" data-embed-from=\"oembed\" style=\"max-width:605px; min-width:325px;\"> <section> <a target=\"_blank\" title=\"@edwin_pouldar\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/@edwin_pouldar?refer=embed\" rel=\"noopener\">@edwin_pouldar<\/a> <p>What am I missing fellow dentists  <a title=\"dentist\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/tag\/dentist?refer=embed\" rel=\"noopener\">#dentist<\/a> <a title=\"dentistry\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/tag\/dentistry?refer=embed\" rel=\"noopener\">#dentistry<\/a> <a title=\"fyp\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/tag\/fyp?refer=embed\" rel=\"noopener\">#fyp<\/a> <\/p> <a target=\"_blank\" title=\"\u266c The One That Got Away - Katy Perry\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/music\/The-One-That-Got-Away-222643891739492352?refer=embed\" rel=\"noopener\">\u266c The One That Got Away &#8211; Katy Perry<\/a> <\/section> <\/blockquote> <script async src=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/embed.js\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-tiktok wp-block-embed-tiktok\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"tiktok-embed\" cite=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/@zoelo.hy\/video\/7631186790644321544\" data-video-id=\"7631186790644321544\" data-embed-from=\"oembed\" style=\"max-width:605px; min-width:325px;\"> <section> <a target=\"_blank\" title=\"@zoelo.hy\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/@zoelo.hy?refer=embed\" rel=\"noopener\">@zoelo.hy<\/a> <p>more of my corporate horror movies!?!?!!! \ud83c\udfa5 \ud83d\udc69\u200d\ud83d\udcbb <a title=\"corporatelife\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/tag\/corporatelife?refer=embed\" rel=\"noopener\">#corporatelife<\/a> <a title=\"corporategirlies\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/tag\/corporategirlies?refer=embed\" rel=\"noopener\">#corporategirlies<\/a> <a title=\"officehumor\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/tag\/officehumor?refer=embed\" rel=\"noopener\">#officehumor<\/a> <a title=\"top5horrormovies\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/tag\/top5horrormovies?refer=embed\" rel=\"noopener\">#top5horrormovies<\/a> <\/p> <a target=\"_blank\" title=\"\u266c The One That Got Away - Katy Perry\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/music\/The-One-That-Got-Away-7608527302834146056?refer=embed\" rel=\"noopener\">\u266c The One That Got Away &#8211; Katy Perry<\/a> <\/section> <\/blockquote> <script async src=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/embed.js\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This trend is another extremely low-lift format, which might be why it\u2019s so viral online right now. Creators use a single 6\u20139 second clip of B-roll (usually with no cuts or transitions) and overlay text listing their \u201cMy top 5 horror movies.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The \u201chorror movies\u201d generally refer to everyday anxieties that most people are only too familiar with (\u201c1. Low battery while leaving the house 2. Replying all by accident\u201d). Generally speaking, the more niche and specific the fears are, the better the joke lands. Some creators also play with the format by repeating the same \u201chorror movie\u201d five times, or listing contradictions like: \u201c1. Having a job. 2. Not having a job.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This format doesn\u2019t have to be generalised relatable content. Many creators theme their lists around a particular profession or identity, which makes the format adaptable for online communities. A version like \u201cMy Top 5 Horror Movies as a Dentist\u201d might include horrors such as \u201cCan\u2019t you just fill it?\u201d or \u201cI don\u2019t want x-rays,\u201d giving audiences an inside look at the tiny recurring nightmares of the job.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>How to do this trend<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Grab a short piece of B-roll, ideally featuring you (or someone else) in a setting that relates to the joke. If you\u2019re tailoring the trend to a niche, make the environment visually reinforce it: scrubs for nursing jokes, a caf\u00e9 for hospitality humour, and so on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The video itself doesn\u2019t need much editing. In most versions, the footage simply plays while the text overlay stays the central focus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Next, write your \u201cTop 5 horror movies\u201d list directly on screen. Keep the phrasing short and readable, choosing a handful of fears you know your audience will relate to. Add this Katy Perry trending <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/music\/The-One-That-Got-Away-7608527302834146056\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">audio<\/a> for discoverability and a fun throwback vibe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Content angles to explore<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Connect with your professional community (for animators: \u201c1.

Two people bump into each other on the street, drop their AirPods, and accidentally pick up the other person\u2019s pair. As they walk away, they start listening and quickly realise something\u2019s off.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Each person reacts to the other\u2019s music, often surprised (or horrified) by the contrast. They look back at the person whose AirPods they accidentally took, taking in their outfit and reassessing them. Most videos add a visual layer by panning to show each person\u2019s outfit or overall vibe, reinforcing the contrast. The result is a quick, character-driven moment that suggests you can tell a lot about someone from what they\u2019re listening to.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>How to use this trend<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Grab two participants and film this as a short interaction. For this trend, we\u2019ll cover filming and editing together since they\u2019re pretty intertwined.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Start with the collision: film the two people bumping into each other and dropping their AirPods. No music is playing yet. Cut to a quick overhead shot of the AirPods on the ground, with both people reaching down and picking them up. This is the moment that visually signals the switch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Next, focus on Participant A. As they put the AirPods in, start the music. Let their reaction play out, then cut or pan to Participant B, the implied source of the playlist, highlighting their outfit, or overall vibe.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Repeat the same sequence in reverse: Participant B puts in the AirPods, reacts to a different song, and the camera shifts to show Participant A\u2019s vibe. This trend runs on contrast: between the people, their aesthetics, and their music taste. Maybe Person A is a Pilates girl while Person B is a gym rat.

Maybe not, but this trending format comes close.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To-do lists have always done well on TikTok. There&#8217;s something soothing about watching someone else be productive, and people are genuinely curious about how different lives unfold day to day \u2014 what it looks like to be a stay-at-home parent juggling childcare and freelance design work, or a med student balancing lectures with marathon training.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In this trend, instead of posting their list as static text with bullet points, creators visually tick off each item on screen, overlaying the Apple Notes interface into a video clip. Because it mirrors the actual Notes interface, it taps into that familiar little dopamine hit iPhone users get every time they check something off, making it extra satisfying to watch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>How to use this trend&nbsp;<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This is going to involve a little editing, but nothing too painful. Start by filming yourself with your phone in hand, making sure both your hands and your face are visible against a clear background. Swipe through the air with one finger as if you&#8217;re opening an app, then mime tapping three times vertically down the screen (or more if you&#8217;re planning more items) like you&#8217;re checking off items on an Apple to-do list.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Next, open your actual Notes app. If you&#8217;re planning to overlay the list against a light background in your video, keep your phone on default settings. If it&#8217;ll be against a dark background, switch your phone to dark mode first so the text is legible. Create a new note titled &#8220;to-do list&#8221; (or choose a creative title), switch the bullet style to the checkable circle format, and list your items. Screenshot the note and crop it tightly so it&#8217;s just the title and bullet points, with no extra iPhone interface elements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In CapCut\u2019s editing interface, add the screenshot as an overlay layer, extending it to begin as soon as you swipe up in your video. At this point, you&#8217;ll have a blocky rectangle covering your video, so click &#8220;splice&#8221; and select &#8220;burn&#8221; to make the white background transparent (or select \u201clighten\u201d to make a dark background transparent), leaving just the text and circles visible. Resize the overlay to your preferred size and position it where you want it on screen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Now comes the animation: as your hand moves up the screen in the video as you \u201cswipe\u201d your list open, add keyframes to make the to-do list move upward in sync with your finger, so it looks as though you&#8217;ve opened it on your screen. Position it so that your mimed vertical \u201cclicks\u201d from earlier tap the buttons. When your finger reaches each circle, go to stickers, search for a checkmark, and place it over the corresponding item at that exact moment in the video. Don&#8217;t stress if your finger doesn&#8217;t perfectly align with each tap. Viewers understand the concept, and if you watch popular examples closely, many don&#8217;t hit the mark exactly either.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Here are some content angles you can explore<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Straightforward to-do lists (it&#8217;s a classic for a reason \u2014 run through a typical day, highlighting the tasks people don&#8217;t see, like responding to editor notes or writing client briefs.)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Teach your viewer how to do something (a recipe, a packing list, a runner\u2019s stretch routine.)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Playful or humorous takes (list absurdly specific or relatable tasks: &#8220;convince myself it&#8217;s fine to have toast for dinner,&#8221; &#8220;avoid doom-scrolling (failed).\u201d)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The \u201cI\u2019m an artist&#8221; trend<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-tiktok wp-block-embed-tiktok\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"tiktok-embed\" cite=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/@treehousebus\/video\/7300624804833643822\" data-video-id=\"7300624804833643822\" data-embed-from=\"oembed\" style=\"max-width:605px; min-width:325px;\"> <section> <a target=\"_blank\" title=\"@treehousebus\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/@treehousebus?refer=embed\" rel=\"noopener\">@treehousebus<\/a> <p>Shop update Nov. 12th at 3pm pst \ud83c\udf32\ud83d\ude8d\ud83c\udf32\u2728 <a title=\"buslife\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/tag\/buslife?refer=embed\" rel=\"noopener\">#buslife<\/a> <a title=\"vanlife\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/tag\/vanlife?refer=embed\" rel=\"noopener\">#vanlife<\/a> <a title=\"polymerclayartist\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/tag\/polymerclayartist?refer=embed\" rel=\"noopener\">#polymerclayartist<\/a> <a title=\"forestcore\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/tag\/forestcore?refer=embed\" rel=\"noopener\">#forestcore<\/a> <a title=\"oregonmade\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/tag\/oregonmade?refer=embed\" rel=\"noopener\">#oregonmade<\/a> <a title=\"pnwartist\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/tag\/pnwartist?refer=embed\" rel=\"noopener\">#pnwartist<\/a> <\/p> <a target=\"_blank\" title=\"\u266c original sound - TreeHouseBus\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/music\/original-sound-7300624853902609194?refer=embed\" rel=\"noopener\">\u266c original sound &#8211; TreeHouseBus<\/a> <\/section> <\/blockquote> <script async src=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/embed.js\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This trend is built around a specific audio exchange. It opens with a woman\u2019s voice saying, \u201cI\u2019m an artist,\u201d followed by a man asking, \u201cOh really? What kind of art?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At this point, creators hint at their work without fully revealing it. Maybe you see their face or their workspace. It plays into a familiar, romanticised trope: the mysterious artist with a sketchbook, straight out of a rom-com.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Then the music kicks in, and the reveal lands. The creator turns the canvas around, lifts the piece into frame, or cuts to the finished work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>How to use this trend<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Start by filming something that hints at your art without showing the final result: washing brushes, a close-up of your editing screen as you scroll through layers, or even just a shot of you, the artist, walking through your workspace. Next, film your art reveal, panning over the different details. Visual work obviously works best in this format, but what \u201cart\u201d specifically means is flexible. It can be more traditional interpretations, like painting or ceramics, but it could also refer to hair styling, nail painting, cupcake baking, tattooing, or any craft you want to share.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In editing, add the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/@ashetonsilvers\/video\/7551610979205795085\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">trending audio<\/a>, and time your reveal to the moment the music begins. When it hits, show your art in full. From there, it\u2019s up to you: some creators overlay the audio as text, some lip-sync along to the dialogue, but you don\u2019t have to do either.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Here are some content angles you can explore<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Redefine what \u201cart\u201d means for your brand (reveal non-traditional \u201cart\u201d forms like latte-making, coding, or packaging design.)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Meet the artist (use the build-up to introduce yourself and share the human side of your work.)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Showcase your process (use the reveal to highlight the skill behind what you do.)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The \u201cNo Screen\u201d trend<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-tiktok wp-block-embed-tiktok\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"tiktok-embed\" cite=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/@itsmesanjay27\/video\/7585543903277894920\" data-video-id=\"7585543903277894920\" data-embed-from=\"oembed\" style=\"max-width:605px; min-width:325px;\"> <section> <a target=\"_blank\" title=\"@itsmesanjay27\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/@itsmesanjay27?refer=embed\" rel=\"noopener\">@itsmesanjay27<\/a> <p>Today\u2019s 1-hour no-phone challenge was completely screen-free.

This might sound counterintuitive for a TikTok trend, but stick with us here. After years of constant connectivity, there\u2019s a growing appetite for slower, offline experiences: going outside, connecting in person, doomscrolling less, and returning to analogue hobbies. This trend taps into that cultural shift by celebrating what life looks like away from a screen. This is less a single fixed format and more a broader creative direction. Some creators take on screen-free challenges, while others lean into an \u201canalogue\u201d aesthetic, swapping out their digital tools or recreating modern processes in low-tech ways.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>How to use this trend<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Option 1: Document a screen-free day<\/strong><strong><br><\/strong>A common format is \u201cNo Scroll Sunday,\u201d where creators film a day without their phones. This might include playing <strong>Wordle<\/strong> on paper with friends, going for an ocean swim, or finally reading the book that\u2019s been sitting on the nightstand. Captured on film cameras or camcorders, of course. While this format is popular with lifestyle creators, it works across niches: reading accounts, parenting content, or travel creators can adapt it to their audience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Option 2: Recreate digital actions in real life<\/strong><strong><br><\/strong>Another approach is to take something you normally do digitally and attempt it offline. That could mean designing without software, making a comic by hand instead of using Photoshop, or creating sound effects with physical objects. It will probably end up slower and slightly imperfect. But that rough, human quality is exactly the point. It stands out in a sea of polished digital content and reinforces the appeal of slowing down.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Content angles to explore:<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Screen-free challenges (if you typically create work digitally, show off your creativity with analogue solutions, like shaking a jar of beans for a sound effect, or building typography using kitchen supplies.)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Show how your brand supports scroll-free Sundays (position your product as something that fits into offline time, e.g., gardening kits that encourage your viewers to literally touch grass.)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Adopt an analogue aesthetic (use film photography, camcorders, or deliberately low-tech visuals not just for challenges, but as an ongoing creative direction)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The landscape split-screen trend<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-tiktok wp-block-embed-tiktok\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"tiktok-embed\" cite=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/@daniellee_esther\/video\/7511592640358452526\" data-video-id=\"7511592640358452526\" data-embed-from=\"oembed\" style=\"max-width:605px; min-width:325px;\"> <section> <a target=\"_blank\" title=\"@daniellee_esther\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/@daniellee_esther?refer=embed\" rel=\"noopener\">@daniellee_esther<\/a> <p>I hope every \u201cI love adventures\u201d girl find their \u201clet\u2019s go on an adventure\u201d guy \ud83d\udc97\ud83c\udf0e\ud83c\udfde\ufe0f <a title=\"splitscreenchallenge\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/tag\/splitscreenchallenge?refer=embed\" rel=\"noopener\">#splitscreenchallenge<\/a> <a title=\"splitscreen\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/tag\/splitscreen?refer=embed\" rel=\"noopener\">#splitscreen<\/a> <a title=\"yosemite\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/tag\/yosemite?refer=embed\" rel=\"noopener\">#yosemite<\/a> <a title=\"misttrail\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/tag\/misttrail?refer=embed\" rel=\"noopener\">#misttrail<\/a> <a title=\"tunnelview\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/tag\/tunnelview?refer=embed\" rel=\"noopener\">#tunnelview<\/a> <\/p> <a target=\"_blank\" title=\"\u266c undressed - sombr\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/music\/undressed-7481443389025536017?refer=embed\" rel=\"noopener\">\u266c undressed &#8211; sombr<\/a> <\/section> <\/blockquote> <script async src=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/embed.js\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This trend is exactly what it sounds like: a reel made up of two landscape videos stacked in a vertical split screen. The clips can be in direct conversation with each other (one perspective on top, another on the bottom) or simply paired for a more cinematic feel, reminiscent of music-video cutaways. All it really requires is two video layers, though some creators push it further with three or four stacked clips.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>How to do this trend<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Start by choosing your footage. Some creators have the clips mirror each other in some way (a ballet recital from childhood on top, a recent dance video on bottom), but they don\u2019t have to have an explicit connection. As long as there\u2019s a shared visual mood, it works.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In CapCut, upload the videos you want to use. Each clip should be at least as long as your intended final video, since they\u2019ll all play simultaneously. Then tap Collage, choose the 9:16 frame, and select the layout with stacked horizontal layers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Once your clips are in place, adjust the framing of each one so the most important parts stay visible. From there, you can add text, transitions, or music to fit your brand\u2019s style.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you\u2019re working with AI-generated footage, tools like Envato\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/elements.envato.com\/learn\/videogen-reframe?srsltid=AfmBOoqcy8PGGrCJh2G39A3DxE8Kg1przg9g5om3gk1DVZkJt2XfyXhJ\">Reframe<\/a> can make your life easier by adjusting the aspect ratio to fit the split-screen layout without regenerating entire clips.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Content angles to explore<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Show multiple views simultaneously (the back and front of a house after renovation, etc.)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Compare and contrast (old vs. new, expectation vs. reality, an empty studio vs. a packed workout class.)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Elevate your aesthetic B-roll (pair complementary clips, like a footage of morning coffee over a clip of hands journaling.)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h1 class=\"wp-block-heading\">March TikTok trends<\/h1>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The \u201cThis who you\u2019re asking to\u2026\u201d baby picture trend<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-tiktok wp-block-embed-tiktok\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"tiktok-embed\" cite=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/@3ouduncut\/video\/7609647676367441173\" data-video-id=\"7609647676367441173\" data-embed-from=\"oembed\" style=\"max-width:605px; min-width:325px;\"> <section> <a target=\"_blank\" title=\"@3ouduncut\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/@3ouduncut?refer=embed\" rel=\"noopener\">@3ouduncut<\/a> <p>The people running your favorite fashion publication btw<\/p> <a target=\"_blank\" title=\"\u266c Pop Star - Coco &#038; Clair Clair\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/music\/Pop-Star-7141100092970240001?refer=embed\" rel=\"noopener\">\u266c Pop Star &#8211; Coco &#038; Clair Clair<\/a> <\/section> <\/blockquote> <script async src=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/embed.js\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Text your mum; we\u2019re digging out the baby photos. In this trend, creators share pictures of themselves when they were little, with descriptions like \u201cThis is who you\u2019re asking to create an event deck,\u201d or \u201cThis is who grows your social engagement tenfold.\u201d The most common format features a video that flips through childhood photos of different team members in an organisation as a text overlay describes each person\u2019s current role or responsibility.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You can think of this trend as an evolution of the 2022 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/@meow.kaykay\/video\/7608357998553058573?q=this%20is%20me%20when%20you%27re%20mean%20to%20me&amp;t=1773726777611\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">meme<\/a> where people shared photos of baby animals with the caption, \u201cThis is me. When you\u2019re mean to me, this is who you\u2019re being mean to.\u201d But instead of just being cute, this version is personalised to the creator and highlights the specific value they bring to their work.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to use this trend&nbsp;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The first step is, of course, to track down those photos. These are supposed to be funny, so the more spaghetti on your face, the better. If you&#8217;re doing this trend with a team, get everyone else to do the same.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Decide what the caption for each photo should be. You can keep it literal with job titles (i.e. &#8220;This is who you&#8217;re asking to be editor-in-chief,&#8221; if you&#8217;re editor-in-chief), or use the space to show off the contributions you bring to the table (&#8220;This is who makes your events run so smoothly you don&#8217;t even notice the chaos backstage&#8221;).&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Compile the photos in CapCut or your editing app of choice. Set each photo to display with its corresponding text overlay for about two seconds before switching to the next photo\/text pair. You can also do a carousel if you don\u2019t want to mess with editing. There isn\u2019t a specific sound creators stick to, so choose whatever trending audio calls out to you. If you\u2019re not in the mood to mess around with caption timing, this trend works just as well as a photo carousel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Here are some content angles you can explore<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Share the human side of your team (show childhood photos of each team member paired with their current role: &#8220;This is who manages your accounts,&#8221; &#8220;This is who you\u2019re trusting to colour your hair,&#8221; building connection with your brand\u2019s community.)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Highlight the reality of solo entrepreneurship (cycle through old photos of yourself at different ages, each representing a different hat you wear \u2014 content creator, customer service, accountant \u2014 to share the full scope of running a one-person operation.)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Showcase the breadth of what you offer (pair each baby photo with a different responsibility your business handles, highlighting under-the-radar value adds.

We&#8217;re coming to you with another trend that will help keep your content schedule running when you have no time to learn a dance or track down five photos of yourself in diapers. In this format, creators simply pick a short clip of aspirational b-roll (riding motorcycles, zip-lining over the jungle, or even just panning the camera around a beautiful natural setting). Then, they add the text overlay &#8220;Maybe in another life&#8221; (in quotes, as if someone else is suggesting they wait), followed by their response: <em>No, this one.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This trend celebrates saying yes to adventure, choosing the life you want now rather than waiting for some hypothetical future. Also, it\u2019s really, really easy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to use this trend<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Go to your camera roll and look for a 5\u20137-second clip that, in some way, encapsulates the idea of seizing the day: the moment you jumped off a tyre swing into water, filmed from a lookout point in a new city, or carved down the slopes on skis. It doesn\u2019t need to be filmed just for this; you can grab a snippet from a longer recording. Tailor the footage to your niche, of course: fitness accounts might show themselves crossing a race finish line, entrepreneurial accounts might capture themselves signing a lease on their first storefront.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Then, simply add the text over the video. Because this format is short, the text plays across the entire clip; there&#8217;s no fancy transition or reveal. On the top line, you\u2019ll write &#8220;\u2018Maybe in another life\u2019&#8221; with &#8220;No, this one&#8221; just below. Use <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/music\/original-sound-7592805423309179679\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">this<\/a> audio for discoverability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Here are some content angles you can explore<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Showcase moments of freedom or adventure (share your early morning surf sessions or spontaneous weekend trips.)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Celebrate the unconventional career path you chose (show yourself doing the work people told you was risky, like running a creative business or working remote as you travel full-time.)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Highlight how your brand enables &#8220;saying yes&#8221; life for viewers (travel companies showing clients exploring dream destinations, adventure gear brands capturing people mid-hike. Position your product or service as the tool that makes \u201cthis life\u201d possible.)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The fake green screen trend<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-tiktok wp-block-embed-tiktok\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"tiktok-embed\" cite=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/@besteasbubbletea\/video\/7609675134349118750\" data-video-id=\"7609675134349118750\" data-embed-from=\"oembed\" style=\"max-width:605px; min-width:325px;\"> <section> <a target=\"_blank\" title=\"@besteasbubbletea\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/@besteasbubbletea?refer=embed\" rel=\"noopener\">@besteasbubbletea<\/a> <p>Our fake green screen almost worked\u2026 <a title=\"smallbusiness\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/tag\/smallbusiness?refer=embed\" rel=\"noopener\">#smallbusiness<\/a> <a title=\"greenscreen\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/tag\/greenscreen?refer=embed\" rel=\"noopener\">#greenscreen<\/a> <a title=\"understaffed\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/tag\/understaffed?refer=embed\" rel=\"noopener\">#understaffed<\/a> <a title=\"customerservice\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/tag\/customerservice?refer=embed\" rel=\"noopener\">#customerservice<\/a> <a title=\"funny\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/tag\/funny?refer=embed\" rel=\"noopener\">#funny<\/a><\/p> <a target=\"_blank\" title=\"\u266c original sound - BESTEAS\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/music\/original-sound-7609680451963276062?refer=embed\" rel=\"noopener\">\u266c original sound &#8211; BESTEAS<\/a> <\/section> <\/blockquote> <script async src=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/embed.js\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-tiktok wp-block-embed-tiktok\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"tiktok-embed\" cite=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/@ezbombsfood\/video\/7603779837387492622\" data-video-id=\"7603779837387492622\" data-embed-from=\"oembed\" style=\"max-width:605px; min-width:325px;\"> <section> <a target=\"_blank\" title=\"@ezbombsfood\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/@ezbombsfood?refer=embed\" rel=\"noopener\">@ezbombsfood<\/a> <p>POV: you don\u2019t have a green screen\u2026 but confidence is FREE \ud83d\ude02\ud83d\udfe2 10\/10 effort. 0\/10 execution.

A creator positions themselves in front of pre-recorded footage and offers commentary on a football play or a Met Gala look. Viewers know the format inside and out \u2014 which is exactly why they&#8217;re not prepared for the moment the &#8220;background video&#8221; breaks the fourth wall and responds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This trend subverts expectations by creating a fake green screen effect. By positioning their face in the bottom corner of the frame, the creator recreates the visual language of a green screen reaction video, but they&#8217;re actually in the real setting the whole time, filming someone in the same room.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Typically, the creator narrates the action behind them as if it were a distant video clip, often speaking in third person while critiquing what\u2019s happening. They might comment on a barista who\u2019s stepped away from the register or point out that the person doing dishes in the background is demonstrating exactly how <em>not<\/em> to organise a kitchen. The commentary continues until the person being \u201creviewed\u201d notices what\u2019s happening, looks up, and breaks the illusion by throwing a napkin, waving at the camera, or playfully grabbing the phone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to use this trend<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">First, you&#8217;ll need a willing participant (or someone you&#8217;re very comfortable pranking). Position yourself in the bottom corner of the frame so it looks like an ordinary green screen composition. Your face should take up roughly a quarter of the screen. You can enhance the effect by holding a small microphone or using short-range lighting that&#8217;s aimed at just you, which adds to the illusion you&#8217;re in a different environment. Frame the shot so the person behind you is clearly visible and active in the background, doing something you can comment on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Start filming and begin your commentary as if you&#8217;re reacting to pre-recorded footage. Talk about them in third person or in a way that assumes they can&#8217;t hear you (use phrases like, &#8220;This is a perfect example of\u2026&#8221;) Keep going until they react and confront you with mock indignation. At this point, they should do something that physically proves you&#8217;re in the same space, like playfully wrestling you for the phone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Here are some content angles you can explore<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Showcase a problem-solving product (the foregrounded creator critiques a worker for being on her phone, but the background character shows she&#8217;s actually using a convenient expense-tracking app to handle receipts in real-time.)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Make tutorials more engaging (narrate a skill being performed behind you as if you&#8217;re a detached observer, then have the person actually doing it break character to add tips.)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Share workplace humour with colleagues (film a coworker doing their job while you &#8220;analyse&#8221; their technique, showcasing the team\u2019s playful dynamic and humanising the workplace.)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The &#8220;Punch&#8221; baby monkey trend<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-tiktok wp-block-embed-tiktok\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"tiktok-embed\" cite=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/@yelenakbeautyy\/video\/7611343123637079327\" data-video-id=\"7611343123637079327\" data-embed-from=\"oembed\" style=\"max-width:605px; min-width:325px;\"> <section> <a target=\"_blank\" title=\"@yelenakbeautyy\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/@yelenakbeautyy?refer=embed\" rel=\"noopener\">@yelenakbeautyy<\/a> <p>Punch monkey has stolen our hearts \ud83d\udc12\ud83e\udd79\ud83e\udef6\ud83c\udffb A reminder that we\u2019re all a little Punch monkey sometimes \u2014 just needing a little extra kindness  <a title=\"fyp\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/tag\/fyp?refer=embed\" rel=\"noopener\">#fyp<\/a> <a title=\"love\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/tag\/love?refer=embed\" rel=\"noopener\">#love<\/a> <a title=\"kindness\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/tag\/kindness?refer=embed\" rel=\"noopener\">#kindness<\/a> <a title=\"punchmonkey\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/tag\/punchmonkey?refer=embed\" rel=\"noopener\">#punchmonkey<\/a> <a title=\"beauty\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/tag\/beauty?refer=embed\" rel=\"noopener\">#beauty<\/a><\/p> <a target=\"_blank\" title=\"\u266c original sound - YelenaKBeauty\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/music\/original-sound-7611343133577677599?refer=embed\" rel=\"noopener\">\u266c original sound &#8211; YelenaKBeauty<\/a> <\/section> <\/blockquote> <script async src=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/embed.js\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-tiktok wp-block-embed-tiktok\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"tiktok-embed\" cite=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/@oohyes55\/video\/7610754503301745942\" data-video-id=\"7610754503301745942\" data-embed-from=\"oembed\" style=\"max-width:605px; min-width:325px;\"> <section> <a target=\"_blank\" title=\"@oohyes55\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/@oohyes55?refer=embed\" rel=\"noopener\">@oohyes55<\/a> <p>It turns out that all Punch really needed was some expert OOH planning and buying. \ud83d\udca5\ud83d\udc35 <a title=\"punchthemonkey\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/tag\/punchthemonkey?refer=embed\" rel=\"noopener\">#PunchTheMonkey<\/a>  <a title=\"marketingmeme\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/tag\/marketingmeme?refer=embed\" rel=\"noopener\">#MarketingMeme<\/a> <a title=\"adhumor\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/tag\/adhumor?refer=embed\" rel=\"noopener\">#AdHumor<\/a> <a title=\"campaigngoals\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/tag\/campaigngoals?refer=embed\" rel=\"noopener\">#CampaignGoals<\/a> <a title=\"oohstrategy\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/tag\/oohstrategy?refer=embed\" rel=\"noopener\">#OOHStrategy<\/a> <\/p> <a target=\"_blank\" title=\"\u266c Cute - Aurel Surya Lie\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/music\/Cute-7136445672676411393?refer=embed\" rel=\"noopener\">\u266c Cute &#8211; Aurel Surya Lie<\/a> <\/section> <\/blockquote> <script async src=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/embed.js\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The internet has fallen in love with Punch, a baby monkey in Japan who, after being rejected by his mother, carries around a stuffed orangutan from IKEA everywhere he goes. Overnight, the little guy became a global sensation: visitors to the zoo doubled, the hashtag #HangInTherePunch went viral, and Google added a search animation of hearts to Punch-related queries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Naturally, this frenzy has inspired a wave of Punch-related memes. There isn&#8217;t a unified format that all users follow, but creators around the world incorporate familiar Punch imagery in some way to create jokes or relatable content. For example, someone might take a photo of Punch dragging his orangutan plushie on the ground behind him, labelling Punch &#8220;pre-workout&#8221; and the stuffed animal &#8220;me&#8221; (the joke being that pre-workout is the only thing that can drag you to the gym). Other creators use <a data-wpil=\"url\" data-wpil-url-old=\"aHR0cHM6Ly9sYWJzLmVudmF0by5jb20vYXBwcy9pbWFnZS1nZW4v\" href=\"https:\/\/elements.envato.com\/ai\/ai-image-generator\">AI image generators<\/a> to dream up new scenarios like Punch&#8217;s mom calling now that he&#8217;s famous or situations that riff on his backstory in creative ways.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to use this trend<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The simplest approach is to find existing Punch images and overlay them with text that turns the moment into a relatable metaphor. Look for scenes that visually represent common dynamics: Punch clinging to his orangutan (Punch is \u201cme,\u201d the orangutan is \u201cmy one good hoodie\u201d), Punch dragging his orangutan along (Punch is \u201cme,\u201d the orangutan is \u201cmy responsibilities\u201d), or Punch wandering alone (Punch is \u201cme,\u201d the situation is \u201cstarting over\u201d).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Content angles to explore:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Use Punch images as brand metaphors (Punch is \u201cme,\u201d the orangutan is \u201cthe cashmere sweater I got for under $100 because this direct-to-consumer company cuts out the middleman.\u201d)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Build on shared internet jokes (\u201cMe training to fight the monkeys bullying Punch.\u201d)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Adapt Punch imagery to react to trending moments or cultural events (Punch clinging to his orangutan during tax season.)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The clap transition trend<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-tiktok wp-block-embed-tiktok\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"tiktok-embed\" cite=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/@makoy.alvin\/video\/7599033204640632086\" data-video-id=\"7599033204640632086\" data-embed-from=\"oembed\" style=\"max-width:605px; min-width:325px;\"> <section> <a target=\"_blank\" title=\"@makoy.alvin\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/@makoy.alvin?refer=embed\" rel=\"noopener\">@makoy.alvin<\/a> <p><\/p> <a target=\"_blank\" title=\"\u266c original sound - Jenny &#038; Chase\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/music\/original-sound-7532125680352430861?refer=embed\" rel=\"noopener\">\u266c original sound &#8211; Jenny &#038; Chase<\/a> <\/section> <\/blockquote> <script async src=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/embed.js\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Finally, a dance trend where you don&#8217;t have to actually dance well \u2014 each move is only visible for half a second before the next clap covers it. The whole thing runs on <strong>Calabria 2007<\/strong>, the beat behind Pitbull&#8217;s <strong>The Anthem.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Creators film someone dancing while a pair of POV hands clap to the beat in the foreground. Because the hands are positioned close to the camera, they cover the dancer each time they come together for a clap. When the hands open again, something has changed: a different person is dancing, the dancer has switched outfits, or their hairstyle has completely transformed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>How to do this trend<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">First, gather your dancer(s). You&#8217;ll either want a few different people or the same person in different looks. Then record clips of them dancing, making sure the camera positioning stays consistent and the subject remains the same distance from the lens. A tripod is especially useful here since you need your hands free to clap in front of the camera while each person dances.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As they dance, position your hands in the foreground and clap on beat to the audio. The hands need to completely cover the dancer when they come together, so hold them close enough to the camera to block the view.

This trend gives creators a simple, high-impact way to reintroduce themselves, show a new side of their content, or orient the wave of people who just discovered their account. It\u2019s especially useful if a recent post went viral and you suddenly need to explain your vibe, your backstory, or why your new followers should expect a lot more goat yoga on their feed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The format is straightforward. Creators stitch together clips of themselves doing whatever it is they do online (reviewing products, sharing their morning routine, extremely real about meal planning on a budget), using a CapCut template that layers short labels over b-roll to build a quick, personality-forward snapshot of who they are.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>How to use this trend&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">First, open this <a href=\"https:\/\/www.capcut.com\/explore\/allow-me-to-reintroduce-myself\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">CapCut template<\/a>; it&#8217;s going to do most of the work for you. Then, gather around 10\u201320 b-roll clips that describe &#8220;you&#8221;: footage of you presenting at a conference, using the saw at your woodwork workshop, drinking your morning coffee, or walking your dog. Don\u2019t worry about filming new clips; you can just pull highlights from your content throughout the years<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Next, come up with about five descriptors of who you are: dad, hot sauce enthusiast, app developer, entrepreneur, puzzle collector. Or makeup artist, podcast host, <strong>MAFS<\/strong> obsessive, pizza pocket connoisseur, night owl. You definitely want to make your niche clear up top, but adding some range will make your account more multi-dimensional. The template will cycle through these labels over your clips, building a quick personality profile. Make sure you use <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/music\/original-sound-7595252073701378838\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">this audio <\/a>for discoverability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Here are some content angles you can explore<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Sum up your account for new followers (show a compilation of your products, services, or behind-the-scenes moments so people immediately understand what you&#8217;re about.)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Launch your next chapter (if you&#8217;re pivoting your content or expanding into a new area, use this to reintroduce yourself with updated descriptors and fresh footage that reflects where you&#8217;re headed.)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Humanise your business (for brand accounts, show the people behind the logo \u2014 team members, their roles, what they&#8217;re passionate about to build connection beyond the product.)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The &#8220;I just want you&#8221; trend<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-tiktok wp-block-embed-tiktok\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"tiktok-embed\" cite=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/@nutmegs17\/video\/7583473714574986526\" data-video-id=\"7583473714574986526\" data-embed-from=\"oembed\" style=\"max-width:605px; min-width:325px;\"> <section> <a target=\"_blank\" title=\"@nutmegs17\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/@nutmegs17?refer=embed\" rel=\"noopener\">@nutmegs17<\/a> <p>I just want \u2615\ufe0f\ud83e\udd0e@Starbucks  <a title=\"coffeetiktok\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/tag\/coffeetiktok?refer=embed\" rel=\"noopener\">#coffeetiktok<\/a> <a title=\"coffee\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/tag\/coffee?refer=embed\" rel=\"noopener\">#coffee<\/a> <a title=\"wishlist\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/tag\/wishlist?refer=embed\" rel=\"noopener\">#wishlist<\/a> <a title=\"taylorswift\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/tag\/taylorswift?refer=embed\" rel=\"noopener\">#taylorswift<\/a> <a title=\"coffeetok\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/tag\/coffeetok?refer=embed\" rel=\"noopener\">#coffeetok<\/a>  <\/p> <a target=\"_blank\" title=\"\u266c Wi$h Li$t - Taylor Swift\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/music\/Wih-Lit-7556815852168710161?refer=embed\" rel=\"noopener\">\u266c Wi$h Li$t &#8211; Taylor Swift<\/a> <\/section> <\/blockquote> <script async src=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/embed.js\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Did you know that, legally speaking, satisfying visual transitions don\u2019t actually have to be an editing nightmare? This trend requires filming in a few different locations, but stitching it together should only take a few minutes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Set to Taylor Swift\u2019s <strong>Wi$hliSt<\/strong>, creators film a series of POV clips across four locations. In the first three, they hold their empty hand out in front of them, cupped as if they\u2019re holding something invisible. These clips play as Swift sings, \u201cThey should have what they want \/ They deserve what they want \/ Hope they get what they want.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Then, when the song hits \u201cI just want you,\u201d the final clip appears. The hand is in the exact same position, but now the desired object has magically materialised. It might be a mug of coffee, a Philly cheesesteak, or whatever you\u2019ve been waiting for all along.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>How to use this trend<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Choose your object first. Beverages are the most common pick, but books, accessories, or small potted plants work just as well. If it comfortably fits in one hand, go for it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Film the POV shot where you\u2019re actually holding the item first. Even though this clip appears at the end of the video, having it upfront makes it much easier to match your hand position in the other shots.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Next, film your empty hand in three different locations. These don\u2019t have to be fancy: your car, kitchen, or train commute all work. The key is keeping your hand position consistent so the transition feels seamless. If you&#8217;re struggling to match the angle, turn on your camera&#8217;s grid overlay and position your hand so it occupies the same section of the grid in each location. For example, keep your wrist aligned with the bottom horizontal line and your fingertips just below the centre point.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In editing, sync the clips to the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/music\/Wih-Lit-7556815852168710161\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Wi$hli$t audio<\/a>. The effect is strongest when you line up one shot per lyric line, letting the final reveal land cleanly on \u201cI just want you.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Here are some content angles you can explore<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Highlight a new product (reveal a just-released game controller or new seasonal menu item.)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Feature a universal craving (who <em>doesn\u2019t<\/em> feel vaguely romantic towards an enormous carton of McDonald\u2019s fries with extra salt?)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Show off your newest hobby win (plant parents revealing a rare variegated cutting, artists displaying new brushes or supplies.)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The &#8220;Let\u2019s see where the wind takes me&#8221; trend<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-tiktok wp-block-embed-tiktok\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"tiktok-embed\" cite=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/@kimberlyoconnell\/video\/7508809346852080939\" data-video-id=\"7508809346852080939\" data-embed-from=\"oembed\" style=\"max-width:605px; min-width:325px;\"> <section> <a target=\"_blank\" title=\"@kimberlyoconnell\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/@kimberlyoconnell?refer=embed\" rel=\"noopener\">@kimberlyoconnell<\/a> <p>Can the wind take me back there? <a title=\"cancun\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/tag\/cancun?refer=embed\" rel=\"noopener\">#cancun<\/a> <a title=\"cancunmexico\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/tag\/cancunmexico?refer=embed\" rel=\"noopener\">#cancunmexico<\/a> <a title=\"allinclusiveresort\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/tag\/allinclusiveresort?refer=embed\" rel=\"noopener\">#allinclusiveresort<\/a> <a title=\"explorecancun\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/tag\/explorecancun?refer=embed\" rel=\"noopener\">#explorecancun<\/a> <a title=\"takemeback\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/tag\/takemeback?refer=embed\" rel=\"noopener\">#takemeback<\/a> <\/p> <a target=\"_blank\" title=\"\u266c fantasmas - HUMBE\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/music\/fantasmas-7326640926458743557?refer=embed\" rel=\"noopener\">\u266c fantasmas &#8211; HUMBE<\/a> <\/section> <\/blockquote> <script async src=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/embed.js\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In its simplest form, this is a classic location transition, but the framing and acting give it a spontaneous, whimsical feel. The video opens with a person (or group) standing in location #1. They place their pointer finger to their lips, then lift it toward the sky to test the wind. Next, they dramatically tilt to one side of the frame, as though pushed by a sudden gust of wind. Cut to location #2, where they stumble into frame, continuing the same motion as if the breeze carried them there in one continuous movement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>How to do this trend<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Film your first clip in your starting location. You can choose a setting that&#8217;s relevant to the reveal (if you&#8217;re travelling, for example, maybe you film your opening at the airport), but everyday settings like your home, the gym, or outside on the footpath work well too. Touch your finger to your lips, raise it to test the wind, then tilt dramatically to one side as if being pushed by a breeze.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Next, film a second clip in your new location. Enter the frame from the side, stumbling or swaying as if you&#8217;ve just been blown there by that same gust of wind. Once you arrive, you can extend the clip and linger a little. Some users spin around to take in their surroundings, take a sip of the coffee the wind delivered them to, or do a little celebratory gesture of their choice.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Once you have your footage, edit the clips together in your preferred editing app. Add a text overlay reading &#8220;Let&#8217;s see where the wind takes me&#8221; over the first clip before the tilt.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Some users add <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/music\/fantasmas-7326640926458743557\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">this audio<\/a>, but others pick a sound of their own.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Content angles to explore<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Add a free-spirited tone to travel content (let the \u201cwind\u201d carry you from the departure gate to your destination for an easy, whimsical transition.)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Enter a new dimension (Envato&#8217;s <a data-wpil=\"url\" data-wpil-url-old=\"aHR0cHM6Ly9sYWJzLmVudmF0by5jb20vdmlkZW8tZ2Vu\" href=\"https:\/\/elements.envato.com\/ai\/ai-video-generator\">AI Video Generator<\/a> can sweep you from your reading nook into your favourite fantasy realm.

Scraped knee? Bandaid. Bad day? Ice cream. Everything had a simple solution. But then again, while childhood fixes were simpler, adult solutions are often way more fun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This trend taps into that contrast with a quick visual switch-up. It opens with the text \u201cfixing the pain as a kid\u201d over footage of someone holding their hand out while another person places a bandaid on their palm. In the next clip, the framing stays identical (same hand, same positioning), but the text changes to \u201cfixing the pain as an adult.\u201d This time, the helping hands deliver a more grown-up solution: placing a product into the palm, clasping on an accessory, or revealing something that genuinely improves the situation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&nbsp;<strong>How to do this trend<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Film two clips with consistent framing and hand positioning. Generally, this trend focuses only on the hands, with the rest of the body cropped out. In the first clip, have someone place a bandaid on your outstretched hand underneath a text overlay reading &#8220;fixing the pain as a kid.&#8221; If you don&#8217;t have a filming partner, that\u2019s fine. Some creators just use their own two hands \u2014 one giving, one receiving.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In the second clip, keep the same setup but swap the bandaid for something that represents your adult solution \u2014 your product, hobby gear, or whatever genuinely makes life better now. If the solution is an item (like shoes, a book, or a product), the helping hand might flip the receiving hand over to place it in the palm instead. Overlay &#8220;fixing the pain as an adult.&#8221; Add a trending audio of your choice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Content angles to explore<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Offer practical problem-solvers (place your product directly into the open palm as the upgraded fix, e.g., a meal delivery kit \u2018fixing\u2019 the chaos of weeknight dinners.)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Share relatable humour (drop in a phone already opened to a therapy app, offer an iced coffee as a lifeline, or press a mock \u201ccancel plans\u201d button into their hand.)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Display aesthetic upgrades (instead of placing something in the palm, apply or attach the upgrade \u2014 clasp a bracelet around a wrist, press on a tattoo stencil.)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The stomping trend<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-tiktok wp-block-embed-tiktok\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"tiktok-embed\" cite=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/@engelvoelkersglobal\/video\/7604799536598371606\" data-video-id=\"7604799536598371606\" data-embed-from=\"oembed\" style=\"max-width:605px; min-width:325px;\"> <section> <a target=\"_blank\" title=\"@engelvoelkersglobal\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/@engelvoelkersglobal?refer=embed\" rel=\"noopener\">@engelvoelkersglobal<\/a> <p>We\u2019ll take it from here \ud83e\udee1 <a title=\"engelvoelkers\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/tag\/engelvoelkers?refer=embed\" rel=\"noopener\">#engelvoelkers<\/a> <a title=\"finestrealestate\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/tag\/finestrealestate?refer=embed\" rel=\"noopener\">#finestrealestate<\/a> <a title=\"stompingtrend\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/tag\/stompingtrend?refer=embed\" rel=\"noopener\">#stompingtrend<\/a><\/p> <a target=\"_blank\" title=\"\u266c original sound - Engel &#038; V\u00f6lkers\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/music\/original-sound-7604799546485754646?refer=embed\" rel=\"noopener\">\u266c original sound &#8211; Engel &#038; V\u00f6lkers<\/a> <\/section> <\/blockquote> <script async src=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/embed.js\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ever wanted to literally force your message onto someone&#8217;s screen? This trend lets you do exactly that \u2014 with your feet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In this format, creators appear to physically reveal on-screen text by stomping in place. The video typically begins with a horizontal clip of a person in frame. When they stomp, their video layer shifts downward, exposing a sliver of text hidden behind it. With each stomp (sometimes escalating to a two-foot jump for emphasis), more of the message is revealed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">By the final thud, the full text is visible, and the creator has effectively \u201cpushed\u201d themselves to the bottom of the vertical frame. It&#8217;s a different kind of interaction than we usually see on TikTok. Instead of tapping or swiping, the creator treats the screen itself like something they can physically move with their body weight. The slight aggression of it (you&#8217;re literally stomping your point into existence) also adds humor and personality, making even straightforward announcements feel less corporate and more human.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-tiktok wp-block-embed-tiktok\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"tiktok-embed\" cite=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/@advancedcreativemedia\/video\/7595340601579556126\" data-video-id=\"7595340601579556126\" data-embed-from=\"oembed\" style=\"max-width:605px; min-width:325px;\"> <section> <a target=\"_blank\" title=\"@advancedcreativemedia\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/@advancedcreativemedia?refer=embed\" rel=\"noopener\">@advancedcreativemedia<\/a> <p>how to do the stomp video effect that\u2019s trending right now \ud83d\udc5f save this post so u can make it later! <a title=\"contentideas\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/tag\/contentideas?refer=embed\" rel=\"noopener\">#contentideas<\/a> <a title=\"trendtutorial\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/tag\/trendtutorial?refer=embed\" rel=\"noopener\">#trendtutorial<\/a> <a title=\"editingtutorial\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/tag\/editingtutorial?refer=embed\" rel=\"noopener\">#editingtutorial<\/a> <\/p> <a target=\"_blank\" title=\"\u266c Glow - nimino\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/music\/Glow-7467591415728801793?refer=embed\" rel=\"noopener\">\u266c Glow &#8211; nimino<\/a> <\/section> <\/blockquote> <script async src=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/embed.js\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>How to use this trend<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Film a horizontal video of yourself standing in frame. You&#8217;ll stomp multiple times (usually 3\u20135 stomps), so make sure each stomp is deliberate and has good energy. Now is the time to commit to the performance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In editing, place your horizontal video into a vertical canvas in your preferred video editor. Position the clip at the top of the frame, and add your text as a separate layer underneath the video. If any text is peeking out at the edges, mask those areas or adjust your positioning so nothing&#8217;s visible until you want it to be revealed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Go to the moment when you stomp your foot on the ground and add a keyframe. Move slightly forward in the timeline and add a second keyframe where you drag the video layer downward to reveal part of the text.

Creators across TikTok are jumping on the nostalgia bandwagon in multiple ways: some are posting unearthed photos of themselves for a throwback carousel or comparing memories from the era, while others are reviving the aesthetic in new videos with heavily saturated Snapchat filters, Converse, or flower crowns.

The trend comes from a scene where Holly Wheeler breathlessly cries, \u201cCome on, you have to believe me, please.\u201d In the show, she\u2019s talking about supernatural monsters; on TikTok, that same urgency is reserved for much lower-stakes problems.

Instead of waiting around and interpreting number patterns as cosmic messages, creators are taking matters into their own hands, manifesting their own signs with <a data-wpil=\"url\" data-wpil-url-old=\"aHR0cHM6Ly9lbGVtZW50cy5lbnZhdG8uY29tL2xlYXJuL2VudmF0by1haS1pbWFnZS1nZW5lcmF0b3I=\" href=\"https:\/\/elements.envato.com\/learn\/ai-image-generator-guide\">AI image generators<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In this trend, creators use b-roll footage of themselves gazing skyward, searching for their destined message, then reacting to the supposed omen. The text overlay reads &#8220;I asked the universe for a sign.&#8221; Then the angle switches to their POV, pointed towards the sky, where a very literal interpretation of the sign appears written in the clouds. &#8220;Go buy a horse&#8221; might be spelled out in perfect cloud lettering, or an image of a brand new iPhone drawn entirely from clouds. Some people really do make their own luck.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>How to do this trend<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Start by filming a short clip of yourself looking up at the sky, as if you\u2019re waiting for a sign, possibly covering your mouth in surprise. Add the text overlay &#8220;I asked the universe for a sign.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Next, take a still photo of the sky from your point of view. Upload the image to an AI generator (like <a data-wpil=\"url\" data-wpil-url-old=\"aHR0cHM6Ly9sYWJzLmVudmF0by5jb20vaW1hZ2UtZ2Vu\" href=\"https:\/\/elements.envato.com\/ai\/ai-image-generator\">ImageGen<\/a>!). Use a prompt that describes a very literal &#8220;sign&#8221; appearing in the clouds, like (&#8220;A bright daytime sky with realistic white clouds forming the shape of a suitcase and an aeroplane, clearly visible and centred. Natural cloud texture, realistic lighting, calm atmosphere, no people.&#8221;)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Next, download that image and upload it into an <a href=\"https:\/\/elements.envato.com\/learn\/videogen-models\">AI video generator<\/a> (ahem, <a data-wpil=\"url\" data-wpil-url-old=\"aHR0cHM6Ly9sYWJzLmVudmF0by5jb20vdmlkZW8tZ2Vu\" href=\"https:\/\/elements.envato.com\/ai\/ai-video-generator\">AI Video Generator<\/a>). Add a short motion prompt like &#8220;Soft clouds drifting slowly across the sky.&#8221; Edit the AI clip into your original footage so it reads as the universe\u2019s unmistakable response, and then add this trending <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/music\/original-sound-7590786097223830327\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">audio<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Content angles to explore<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Use the &#8220;sign&#8221; to literally spell out your product or benefit (e.g., your exact product name, or a specific phrase like &#8220;a coffee thermos that actually stays hot in your car.&#8221;) The more precise the wording, the funnier and more memorable it is.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Skip text and go visual with instantly recognisable symbols (a sneaker brand could use a shoe silhouette, beauty brands might use a lipstick or compact mirror.

As people set their intentions for 2026, creators post simple clips of the energy they want to carry forward (laughing around a campfire, hanging cozy string lights, watching clouds drift past an aeroplane window) paired with the text &#8220;More of this in 2026.&#8221; Think of it as a low-effort mood board: a <a href=\"https:\/\/elements.envato.com\/learn\/ai-video-workflow-for-pitch-prototypes\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">quick video<\/a> to set the tone for the year ahead without the collage fatigue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>How to do this trend<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Go gather some b-roll that captures the energy you or your brand wants to bring into 2026. This works best when the clips flow together (pouring coffee, then light spilling through a window), but it can be as simple as a single seven-second aesthetic clip if you want to keep it easy. Overlay the text, &#8220;More of this in 2026.&#8221; Some creators add a short list underneath (more spontaneous trips, more laughter, more surf days), while others let the phrase stand on its own.

Simply choose footage that fits your example and overlay text reading, &#8220;The lion\/lioness does not concern him\/herself with\u2026&#8221; followed by whatever you&#8221;re dismissing. This can be self-deprecating (maybe you really should reply to one of your 47 unread messages but won&#8221;t), or a genuine declaration of being unbothered by the expectations of others (like ignoring people who say audiobooks don&#8221;t count as reading).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Here are some content angles you can explore<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Joke about everyday habits (&#8220;the lioness does not concern herself with eating a proper breakfast when coffee exists.&#8221;)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Roast the cultural obsessions you find overrated (&#8220;the lion doesn&#8221;t concern himself with the hip abduction machine&#8221; for fitness accounts.)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Brag-worthy product benefits (&#8220;the lioness does not concern herself with flaky shoulders,&#8221; for anti-dandruff haircare.)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The &#8220;In your 20s\u2026&#8221; trend<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-tiktok wp-block-embed-tiktok\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"tiktok-embed\" cite=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/@dukethatgolden\/video\/7571950007989849399\" data-video-id=\"7571950007989849399\" data-embed-from=\"oembed\" style=\"max-width:605px; min-width:325px;\"> <section> <a target=\"_blank\" title=\"@dukethatgolden\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/@dukethatgolden?refer=embed\" rel=\"noopener\">@dukethatgolden<\/a> <p>I hope every person gets a chapter where it\u2019s just you &#038; your dog \ud83e\udd79\ud83e\udd79 <a title=\"dog\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/tag\/dog?refer=embed\" rel=\"noopener\">#dog<\/a> <a title=\"goldenretriever\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/tag\/goldenretriever?refer=embed\" rel=\"noopener\">#goldenretriever<\/a> <\/p> <a target=\"_blank\" title=\"\u266c original sound - \ud835\udcb6\ud835\udcc2\ud835\udcb6\ud835\udcbe \ud83c\udf00\u2600\ufe0f\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/music\/original-sound-7536694526191127327?refer=embed\" rel=\"noopener\">\u266c original sound &#8211; \ud835\udcb6\ud835\udcc2\ud835\udcb6\ud835\udcbe \ud83c\udf00\u2600\ufe0f<\/a> <\/section> <\/blockquote> <script async src=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/embed.js\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Think of this trend as a new, fun cousin of &#8220;sliding door moments&#8221;.

Creators post footage overlaid with some variation of &#8220;In your 20s, you&#8221;ll [insert opportunity here], and it&#8221;s very important that you do it.&#8221; Some people highlight the ripple effect of seemingly unremarkable choices, like starting a conversation with a stranger on the train. Others reflect back on big leaps, like switching industries or presenting at a conference on the other side of the world. These videos give creators a moment to celebrate everything that followed because they took a chance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>How to use this trend&nbsp;<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Choose footage that relates to your subject.

This trend sets itself aside from similar posts by creating a sense of authority. Users already own the products they recommend, cutting through the usual marketing gimmicks. These wishlists are often highly specific: instead of just describing a jacket, creators point out details like extra deep pockets that fit an iPhone 16 and let you leave your bag at home \u2014 basically, the things people actually care about.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>How to use this trend&nbsp;<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In the most common approach, you simply turn on your ring light and explain the wishlist directly to the camera. Begin by introducing the concept with the title overlaid in the first few seconds, then give a short explanation alongside each product you recommend. Show each item as you mention it, either by holding it up or adding a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/@leah_grace._\/video\/7572637152819957047?q=if%20i%20didn%27t%20already%20have%20it%20wishlist&amp;t=1768265364231\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">still image<\/a>.

For example, a self-described indecisive user shared, &#8220;I can&#8221;t choose, you pick pls,&#8221; while a graphic design enthusiast revealed, &#8220;omg look their branding is so cute.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>How to use this trend&nbsp;<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This is a classic set-up\/punchline format that relies on timing.

It&#8217;s shown up in fashion at the Oscars, been named KitchenAid&#8217;s 2025 &#8216;Colour of the Year,&#8217; crept into home decor, and now it&#8217;s taking over text overlays on TikTok. On the app, users choose a serif font (think Baskerville, Garamond, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/@edgykatrina\/video\/7341049301260455198?q=yellow%20font&amp;t=1763141850488\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">or one of these creator favourites<\/a>) in that signature yellow shade, overlaid on aesthetic footage. It gives a slightly Wes Anderson effect and a nod to French New Wave cinema that often used similar typography for title cards. It&#8217;s sunny, sophisticated, and manages to feel both timeless and very of-the-moment.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>How to use this trend<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Simply select the text tool, choose a serif font, and go for butter yellow. Even at full saturation, yellow never appears particularly dark, so you need strong contrast in your background to keep it legible. If you&#8217;re going all-in on the vintage cinema vibe, <a href=\"https:\/\/elements.envato.com\/learn\/colorful-new-wave-design\">Envato&#8217;s guide to cinema nouveau<\/a> has more tips to nail the look.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This trend doesn&#8217;t require a specific format or audio; it&#8217;s just a quick way to elevate whatever you were already planning to post. With that said, it makes sense to pair a French cinematic aesthetic with things that are naturally beautiful: coffee being poured, a thoughtfully arranged bookshelf, or early morning light.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Here are some content examples you can take inspiration from:&nbsp;<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Captioning narration for a day-in-the-life video<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Adding process explanations over studio footage or creative work<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Labelling ingredients or steps in cooking videos<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The \u2018Screen to Real Life\u2019 transition trend<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-tiktok wp-block-embed-tiktok\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"tiktok-embed\" cite=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/@media.alacarte\/video\/7566385978345032990\" data-video-id=\"7566385978345032990\" data-embed-from=\"oembed\" style=\"max-width:605px; min-width:325px;\"> <section> <a target=\"_blank\" title=\"@media.alacarte\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/@media.alacarte?refer=embed\" rel=\"noopener\">@media.alacarte<\/a> <p>Phone-to-hand transition \ud83d\udcf1 \ud83e\udd1a  Comment below if you\u2019d tried this!  <a title=\"contentidea\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/tag\/contentidea?refer=embed\" rel=\"noopener\">#contentidea<\/a> <a title=\"socialmediatips\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/tag\/socialmediatips?refer=embed\" rel=\"noopener\">#socialmediatips<\/a> <a title=\"productshot\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/tag\/productshot?refer=embed\" rel=\"noopener\">#productshot<\/a> <a title=\"ugc\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/tag\/ugc?refer=embed\" rel=\"noopener\">#ugc<\/a> <\/p> <a target=\"_blank\" title=\"\u266c original sound - skingasm - skingasm\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/music\/original-sound-skingasm-7273786065651387137?refer=embed\" rel=\"noopener\">\u266c original sound &#8211; skingasm &#8211; skingasm<\/a> <\/section> <\/blockquote> <script async src=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/embed.js\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There are two big things to like about this transition: 1) In an era where your online order arrives looking like it was photographed in a professional studio but delivered from someone&#8217;s garage, this actually proves your stuff looks good in real life, and 2) it&#8217;s just satisfying to watch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In this trend, the video opens on a phone screen showing a product photo.

Take a photo of it and display it on your phone screen. Film yourself holding the phone, then zoom in on the photo until the item appears life-sized on screen. Stop recording, position the actual item in your other hand just below the phone, and start filming again. Swipe the photo left while simultaneously moving your right hand right to reveal the real object. Because the item is leaving the screen at the same time as it&#8217;s appearing in your hand, it looks like it&#8217;s jumped from digital space to physical reality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Here are some content angles you can explore:<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Swipe to reveal a hand-crafted piece of jewellery or accessories like cufflinks or watches<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Swipe to reveal small art prints or stickers<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Swipe to reveal tech products like earbuds or a phone case<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The \u2018Last November\u2019 trend<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-tiktok wp-block-embed-tiktok\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"tiktok-embed\" cite=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/@kiara_mckayy\/video\/7571661457805380877\" data-video-id=\"7571661457805380877\" data-embed-from=\"oembed\" style=\"max-width:605px; min-width:325px;\"> <section> <a target=\"_blank\" title=\"@kiara_mckayy\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/@kiara_mckayy?refer=embed\" rel=\"noopener\">@kiara_mckayy<\/a> <p>I can\u2019t believe it\u2019s already been a year since we found out about her \ud83e\udd79\ud83e\udd79  <a title=\"thisnovembertrend\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/tag\/thisnovembertrend?refer=embed\" rel=\"noopener\">#thisnovembertrend<\/a> <a title=\"motherhood\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/tag\/motherhood?refer=embed\" rel=\"noopener\">#motherhood<\/a> <a title=\"pregnancy\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/tag\/pregnancy?refer=embed\" rel=\"noopener\">#pregnancy<\/a> <a title=\"momlife\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/tag\/momlife?refer=embed\" rel=\"noopener\">#momlife<\/a> <a title=\"thisnovembervslastnovember\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/tag\/thisnovembervslastnovember?refer=embed\" rel=\"noopener\">#thisnovembervslastnovember<\/a> <\/p> <a target=\"_blank\" title=\"\u266c bless the telephone - melo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/music\/bless-the-telephone-7564023335840598816?refer=embed\" rel=\"noopener\">\u266c bless the telephone &#8211; melo<\/a> <\/section> <\/blockquote> <script async src=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/embed.js\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As the year wraps up, people are getting reflective, and this trend captures that energy. Set to the viral \u2018bless the telephone\u2019 audio, the format lets creators compare how their life has changed over the past year. Videos start with footage from November 2024, overlaid with \u2018Last November vs\u2026\u2019 before cutting to current footage tagged &#8220;This November.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The changes range from major life events (positive pregnancy test to holding a baby, single to engaged) to personal growth milestones (early gym sessions to visible progress, burnt out to thriving).&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>How to use this trend<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Dig through your camera roll to find clips from November 2024 that encapsulate where you were then. Film current footage that shows the contrast. The bigger the transformation, the more impactful the video, but even non-dramatic shifts (different haircut, new apartment, upgraded setup) can resonate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Use the \u2018bless the telephone\u2019 audio and add text overlays: \u2018Last November\u2019 on the first clip, \u2018This November\u2019 on the second. The \u2018vs\u2019 can be on either clip, or you can leave it out altogether.

Film yourself doing it, possibly speeding up the clip to amplify the frantic energy of racing against the clock.

Choose a carefree or aesthetic photo or video of yourself (or, in the case of a brand, a photo or short video of your product or work). Overlay white text that reads: &#8216;Unfortunately, I do love:&#8217; followed by 5-10 bullet points of things you maybe shouldn\u2019t love but definitely do. Include some universally relatable pleasures alongside a few unexpected ones. Use the trending <strong>Rocky Mountain Way<\/strong> audio for an algorithmic boost.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Here are some content examples you can take inspiration from:&nbsp;<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Unfortunately, I do love hoarding mockup templates &#8216;just in case&#8217;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Unfortunately, I do love posting a meme and then refreshing every 12 seconds to see if engagement\u2019s good<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Unfortunately, I do love romanticising my life every time I add a slice of lemon to my water<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The \u2018I Know Ball\u2019 trend<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-tiktok wp-block-embed-tiktok\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"tiktok-embed\" cite=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/@jordan_fisher\/video\/7558160073604861206\" data-video-id=\"7558160073604861206\" data-embed-from=\"oembed\" style=\"max-width:605px; min-width:325px;\"> <section> <a target=\"_blank\" title=\"@jordan_fisher\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/@jordan_fisher?refer=embed\" rel=\"noopener\">@jordan_fisher<\/a> <p>I know ball. <a title=\"disney\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/tag\/disney?refer=embed\" rel=\"noopener\">#disney<\/a> <\/p> <a target=\"_blank\" title=\"\u266c plug walk remix - julian\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/music\/plug-walk-remix-7490972580300573470?refer=embed\" rel=\"noopener\">\u266c plug walk remix &#8211; julian<\/a> <\/section> <\/blockquote> <script async src=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/embed.js\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In basketball, \u2018knowing ball\u2019 means understanding the game, knowing its history, the deep mosaic of intricacies that make up &#8216;ball&#8217;. But on TikTok, the phrase has evolved into a catch-all for being an expert in literally anything: Tetris-ing leftovers into the fridge, stalking someone&#8217;s Instagram without accidentally liking a post from 2019, sensing when pasta is perfectly al dente just by vibes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In this trend, creators respond to imaginary doubters with proof of their abilities. Videos open with text like \u2018When I do [X] and they say I don&#8217;t know ball,\u2019 alongside footage that makes it look like they don&#8217;t know what they&#8217;re doing. Then, the video transitions to a frame revealing the user&#8217;s actual expertise, stamped with \u2018Trust me, I know ball.\u2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>How to Use This Trend<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Pick your domain of alleged expertise. It can be something you genuinely know well, or, for comedic effect, something mundane that life has trained you for (extreme couponing, emotionally recovering after a text reading \u2018haha.\u2019)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Start with text that sets up the scenario: \u2018When I [activity] and they say I don&#8217;t know ball.\u2019 Open with footage that looks unimpressive. Then cut to the glow-up reveal, overlaid with &#8216;Trust me. I know ball.&#8217; Use the trending <strong>Plug Walk<\/strong> remix audio to maximize visibility. This works just as well as a carousel as a video. It\u2019s the same idea, just use still photos overlaid with text.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Here are some content angles you can explore:<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Chaotic whiteboard brainstorm \u2192 polished client pitch deck<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Rough sketches \u2192 detailed artwork<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Fridge holding only butter and half an onion \u2192 homemade carbonara<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The \u2018This Is Your Sign\u2019 trend<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-tiktok wp-block-embed-tiktok\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"tiktok-embed\" cite=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/@notpresleymadeit\/video\/7513669689910791470\" data-video-id=\"7513669689910791470\" data-embed-from=\"oembed\" style=\"max-width:605px; min-width:325px;\"> <section> <a target=\"_blank\" title=\"@notpresleymadeit\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/@notpresleymadeit?refer=embed\" rel=\"noopener\">@notpresleymadeit<\/a> <p>She loves me (I think)\ud83d\ude00 <a title=\"girlhood\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/tag\/girlhood?refer=embed\" rel=\"noopener\">#girlhood<\/a> <a title=\"sisters\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/tag\/sisters?refer=embed\" rel=\"noopener\">#sisters<\/a> <\/p> <a target=\"_blank\" title=\"\u266c Take My Hand - Matt Berry\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/music\/Take-My-Hand-7488094138099436310?refer=embed\" rel=\"noopener\">\u266c Take My Hand &#8211; Matt Berry<\/a> <\/section> <\/blockquote> <script async src=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/embed.js\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This is your sign to do possibly the easiest TikTok format on this list.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In this trend, creators pick some b-roll footage, overlay \u2018This is your sign,\u2019 and follow it with instructions for whatever their audience might be waiting for a cosmic push to actually do \u2014 book that trip to Thailand, join a run club, make the switch to non-Teflon pans.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There&#8217;s an alternate version that works the same way: &#8216;I don&#8217;t know who needs to hear this but\u2026&#8217; followed by the gentle command or permission a viewer might be waiting for.

In this trend, creators hold up an object \u2014 usually coffee cups, water bottles, wine glasses, but it works with random things like phones or books \u2014 and cheer it directly into the camera lens. The object fills the frame completely, blocking the view for a second. When they pull it back, the video cuts to reveal a completely different environment, outfit, or setup than what you saw a moment ago.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The transition happens in that brief moment when the object covers the camera, making the jump feel seamless. One second you&#8217;re in your bedroom in pajamas, cheer with your morning coffee, pull back, and suddenly you&#8217;re fully dressed at a caf\u00e9. Or you&#8217;re at your desk, cheers with a water bottle, and now you&#8217;re at the beach.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>How to do the &#8216;Cheer the Camera&#8217; trend?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Film your first clip: hold up your object of choice and move it toward the camera until it completely fills the frame and blocks the view. Then film your second clip: start with the same object filling the frame in the same position, then pull it back to reveal your new location, outfit, or setup. While editing, cut the two clips together right at the moment when the object fully covers the lens. If you line it up properly, it&#8217;ll look like one smooth motion even though you&#8217;ve completely changed everything in the background.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You can keep it simple with just two scenes, or stack multiple transitions back-to-back for a montage effect.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Here are some content angles you can explore:<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Show different spots from a trip or transition from home to your destination<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Jump from morning routine to being fully ready<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Use your actual product as the transition object (a skincare brand might use a serum bottle, a coffee company could use a branded mug)<br><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The &#8216;Life of a Showgirl&#8217; trend (and variations)<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-tiktok wp-block-embed-tiktok\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"tiktok-embed\" cite=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/@lmdmvie\/video\/7558124597917306134\" data-video-id=\"7558124597917306134\" data-embed-from=\"oembed\" style=\"max-width:605px; min-width:325px;\"> <section> <a target=\"_blank\" title=\"@lmdmvie\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/@lmdmvie?refer=embed\" rel=\"noopener\">@lmdmvie<\/a> <p>father figure <a title=\"thedevilwearsprada\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/tag\/thedevilwearsprada?refer=embed\" rel=\"noopener\">#thedevilwearsprada<\/a> <a title=\"mirandapriestly\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/tag\/mirandapriestly?refer=embed\" rel=\"noopener\">#mirandapriestly<\/a> <a title=\"andysachs\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/tag\/andysachs?refer=embed\" rel=\"noopener\">#andysachs<\/a> <a title=\"merylstreep\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/tag\/merylstreep?refer=embed\" rel=\"noopener\">#merylstreep<\/a> <a title=\"annehathaway\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/tag\/annehathaway?refer=embed\" rel=\"noopener\">#annehathaway<\/a> <\/p> <a target=\"_blank\" title=\"\u266c sonido original - \u02d6\u1c98\ud801\udc7c\u22c6\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/music\/sonido-original-7557361923440921355?refer=embed\" rel=\"noopener\">\u266c sonido original &#8211; \u02d6\u1c98\ud801\udc7c\u22c6<\/a> <\/section> <\/blockquote> <script async src=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/embed.js\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Whether you&#8217;re a die-hard Swiftie or she&#8217;s not really your thing, one thing&#8217;s undeniable: anytime Taylor drops an album, it takes over social media. Her latest album, <strong>The Life of a Showgirl<\/strong>, is no exception.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Even if you&#8217;re not a Swiftie, the sheer volume of engagement around this album makes it worth considering \u2014 trending audio gets algorithmic priority, and piggybacking on massive cultural moments means your content is more likely to get served to new audiences who are actively searching these sounds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There&#8217;s no single trend format dominating TikTok. Some people are just slapping <strong>Opalite<\/strong> or <strong>Wi$h Li$t<\/strong> over their regular content and calling it a day, which honestly, fair. But if you want to get a little deeper, here are two more involved options:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>1. The Ophelia dance:<\/strong> The brave among us are attempting the viral choreography to <strong>The Fate of Ophelia<\/strong>, inspired by Swift&#8217;s own music video. The moves are pretty accessible, and you can do them solo or in a group. A lot of the users doing it are young women, but if you&#8217;re neither of those things (like, for instance, this <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/@grandadfrankk\/video\/7557388872154352918?q=ophelia%20dance%20grandpa&amp;t=1759906966148\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Swiftie grandpa<\/a>), it might actually make the video more charming.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>2. The lyric reinterpretation:<\/strong> Creators are setting <strong>Showgirl<\/strong> lyrics to clips that match the themes or narrative of the song. Someone matched <strong>Ophelia<\/strong> (&#8216;All this time I spent alone in my tower, you were just honing your powers&#8217;) to clips from <strong>Tangled<\/strong> where Rapunzel is literally alone in her tower. <strong>Actually Romantic <\/strong>\u2014 a song about how someone&#8217;s efforts to antagonize you could be reinterpreted as love \u2014 has been set to Dwight and Jim from <strong>The Office<\/strong><em>.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>How to use this trend<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Choose your approach based on the amount of effort you&#8217;re willing to put in and the type of content you typically create.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For the simple route, choose one of the trending <strong>Showgirl<\/strong> tracks and pair it with whatever footage you were planning on posting anyway for a little algorithmic boost. The audio is doing the heavy lifting here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For the dance, watch a few <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/@dancekae\/video\/7557793247045750071?q=ophelia%20dance%20tutorial&amp;t=1759824006578\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">tutorials<\/a> or reference videos to learn the choreography, film yourself doing it, and don&#8217;t stress about being perfect. If your account centers on a specific niche or hobby, you could film there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For the lyric reinterpretation: match the song to characters or moments that fit the vibe. The easiest ones are <strong>Father Figure<\/strong>, which maps onto fraught mentor relationships, and <strong>Actually Romantic<\/strong> for bickering-as-flirting dynamics. Obviously, this works best with recognizable pop culture characters or figures, but you can get creative \u2014 plenty of people are setting <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/@shepmixtoby\/video\/7557757442667334942?q=father%20figure%20dog&amp;t=1759907333831\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>Father <\/strong><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/@shepmixtoby\/video\/7557757442667334942?q=father%20figure%20dog&amp;t=1759907333831\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Figure<\/strong><\/a><strong>&nbsp;<\/strong>to clips of their dogs.
