Tiktok Trends - October 2024

Introducing "TikTok Trends 2024" – your source for staying ahead of the game on the latest TikTok crazes!

TikTok trends move fast, and if you're not quick, you'll miss out. But let's be real, keeping up with TikTok trends can be a hassle. That's where we come in.
Each week, we'll keep you updated on what's hot on TikTok (by spending way too much time scrolling). From trending hashtags to popular sounds and formats, we've got you covered!

Please note:

• Currently, our focus is primarily on TikTok, but we're exploring other networks. It's worth testing these trends across all platforms to see what resonates best with your audience.
• Trends are generally very short, which may concern you about not mentioning the product enough. However, the mistake would be to tack on promotional elements after the video. It's crucial that the video stays true to the trend, lasts only a few seconds, and captures the essence of the need your service addresses in a brief timeframe.
• Not all trends will be suitable for every brand. It will be up to you to choose the ones that seem most relevant to your message and goals.

The “Interpretive Dance” Trend

‍

TikTok has embraced interpretive dance as a fun and light-hearted way to bargain for a reward. This trend, set to the track “Laterals” by Fat Code Studios, challenges users to perform interpretive dances in exchange for things like treats or favors. It all started when a girl made her roommate’s boyfriend dance to stay the night, and now it’s become a playful test of how far someone will go to get what they want.

To join the trend, pick someone to challenge and get them to dance to the music. It’s not about being a good dancer—the more extreme the dance, the better the content. Then, overlay text that explains who’s dancing and what they’re trying to win, like “Me doing an interpretive dance to get my invoice paid” or “My colleague dancing to turn this meeting into an email.” Whether the dancing is great or hilariously bad, it’s all part of the fun!

The “I Love Your Daughter” Trend

‍

If you’re a Gilmore Girls fan, you’ll instantly recognize the voice in this trending audio as Kirk from Season 2, Episode 19. In his short film A Film by Kirk, he meets his girlfriend’s tough parents and declares, “I love your daughter,” only for the father to ask, “What do you have to offer her?”. Kirk then showcases his hidden talent by breaking into dance, and this iconic moment has been remixed with the song Breath by Years & Years (Blu Cantrell Remix), inspiring TikTokers to reveal their hidden skills.

To join in, lip sync to Kirk’s lines—“I love your daughter” and “Nothing, only this”—and then cut to a clip showing off your talent. Whether it’s cooking, painting, or something more quirky, the reveal is fun! You could showcase anything from a new camera you bought to a perfectly curated Pinterest board. It’s a great way to show off your skills while keeping things light and playful!

The “Life is Worth Living” Trend

‍

Justin Bieber’s emotional ballad Life is Worth Living is trending on TikTok, where creators are using the raw and heartfelt song to contrast light-hearted or absurd moments, like enjoying a perfect burger or receiving great news. The song’s vulnerability adds a surprising twist, making these videos both funny and uplifting. It’s a way for creators to find humor in the small joys that lift their spirits.

If you're feeling down or uninspired, this trend can be a fun, therapeutic way to share what brings you hope. Whether it’s a simple act like saving a file as “FINAL” or planning a spontaneous trip, use the audio to capture those moments. If your happy moment isn’t easy to film, just overlay it with text while you record yourself. It’s a great way to share what makes life feel worth living!

The “Scram! Leave Her Alone” Trend

‍

This playful trend works great with TikTok’s Green Screen feature or CapCut. The viral “Scram! Leave her alone” audio allows creators to pair it with an image that represents a moment when they’d want to shout the phrase. For example, one creator hilariously imagines what ibuprofen says when kicking a headache or pain out of their system. The Green Screen feature lets you put an image in the background that fits the scene, adding a fun visual twist.

To join the trend, simply pick a situation that makes you want to say “scram!” and use TikTok’s text feature to describe it. Whether it’s an unwanted work email during vacation or someone interrupting your nap, the key is to choose something everyone can relate to and have a laugh!

The “What’s Your Name? Rachel” Trend

‍

The iconic “What’s Your Name? Rachel” clip from X Factor is back in the spotlight, now mashed up with Chappell Roan’s catchy track “Super Graphic Ultra Modern Girl.” This version comes with a fun dance challenge, where creators lip-sync along while doing the routine. For an added twist, many participants are nailing the look with a blank stare to rack up style points.

To get in on the trend, simply follow the choreography while keeping a straight face for extra flair. The quirky combination of the X Factor nostalgia and Roan’s modern track makes this challenge both funny and nostalgic—a perfect recipe for viral content!
