Tiktok Trends - April 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.

Is The Boston Marathon Longer Than The L.A. Marathon?
This trend comes from Jake Shane's podcast and more especially an episode with his friend Brett who is about to run the Boston marathon. The conversation starts out rocky, as Jake dares to ask, “Not to sound, like, really stupid, but is the Boston Marathon longer than the L.A. marathon?” Brett replies, “no, all marathons are the same length. That’s like common sense, I fear.” Jake is bamboozled and says with a classic L.A. vocal fry, “are you serious?”, to which Brett responds in the same tone, “I’m serious”. TikTok creators have used the hilarious moment as inspiration for their own videos asking “stupid” questions with simple or obvious answers.

Dramatic Of A Change
JoJo Siwa's recent interview with Billboard sparked a trending audio clip on TikTok. In the interview, she discussed her transition from a child star to an adult artist, claiming to be the first in her generation to make such a dramatic change. TikTok creators have since used JoJo's quote sarcastically, highlighting minuscule or non-original changes they've made in their own lives.
In this trend, creators a situation where they thought they were being incredibly innovative or original, doing something that nobody else had ever done before. The goal is to create a funny and relatable scenario that highlights the absurdity of thinking you're a trailblazer in a situation where many others have likely experienced the same thing.

My Life Was Black And White
Creators are shaking up TikTok by posting videos or photo carousels with a solo black-and-white shot, then reveal a vibrant color photo featuring someone special who's brought color into their life. But here's the twist: some creators are flipping the script, swapping out the person for something they love dearly (often with a comedic twist), adding an extra layer of fun to the trend.

Show It To Me Rachel
Back in 2022, TikTok user Rachel, known as @cryinglawyer, pulled a hilarious prank on her mom. She pretended to stumble upon a news article claiming that Jesus was spotted in Ohio. The video caught her mom's instant belief, leading to a funny exchange where she desperately asked Rachel for the link. Although the video has made its rounds on social media before, it recently blew up on TikTok. Now, creators are taking a snippet from the clip, lip-syncing to the audio while urgently requesting to see something they're dying to witness—like photos of a hot new celebrity couple or juicy gossip screenshots.
