Mum what were you like in the 90’s?
This trend focuses directly on 90’s nostalgia, with primarily celebrities partaking, showing their old 90’s paparazzi pictures. The trend begins with a small clip of the creator showing themselves now, with the caption ‘Mom, what were you like in the 90’s’, usually showing a clip of them not looking their best, to make the difference more dramatic. The video then switches to images or clips of the celebrity or creator in the 90’s, looking glamorous and idyllic. Is it has-beens trying to remind us of when they were relevant? The funnier take on it later in the month included normal people with a passing resemblance to celebrity, using the same mechnic but cutting to images of the celebrity, not them.

Dracula (JENNIE Remix)” by JENNIE & Tame Impala Trend
The Dracula trend focuses on self confidence, effortless persona and ‘main character’ energy. Creators use the lyrics to effortlessly show their confidence, by strutting towards the camera as the lyrics ‘shut up Jennie, just get in the car’ play. It is a change to the usual dance trends that stem from trending sounds on TikTok.

Fun Dance Trend
In contrast with the previous trend, this is a trend where creators have taken a trending audio and created a fun dance to the beat. Which blew up to its fun and quirky nature. It is usually couples that have part taken in this trend, pretending to smack each other’s bums as they dance, however friends are jumping on this trend as well.
Why you so obsessed with me
This trend focuses on making creators feel as though they’re famous, and have the level of attention celebrities do. The videos begins with someone shouting in the street or a public place to get everyone around them to turn and look at them. They then take a screenshot of the moment that everyone is looking at them and place the song Obsessed by Mariah Carey over the top, to create an image that exudes celebrity-level obsession.

Bucket List Trend
The bucket list trend is produced in a slideshow format, with the first slide showing a small bucket list that the creator would like to complete. Followed by an image of the creators girlfriend, animal or family member asking for something such as ‘I want a Jellycat’. The TikTok then ends with a slide showing an updated bucket list, with the request from the creators loved one, at the number 1 spot.

Into the Groove
This trend was boosted by a viral moment from the Influencer ‘Gymskin’, creating a signature dance move when the song ‘Into the Groove’ began to play. In the viral clip Gymskin suddenly bursts into dance as soon as the song begins to play, this has sparked other creators to jump on the trend. They start off with a quiet clip, followed by the song ‘Into the Groove’ beginning in which they then breakout into Gymskins signature move.
