Trends 📈
You make me un poco loco trend: Use this sound with a text overlay to describe a situation that makes you frustrated. You can talk about everything from demanding customers to overbearing family members.
Wednesday dance trend: Wednesday is a hit on Netflix, and TikTok too. The music and choreography from the series is now trending all over social media as people recreate the dance.
January me trend: As the year comes to an end, this trend is right on time. Use this sound and answer a question your past self would ask you about. I love this trend for revisiting those New Year's resolutions that we always fail at.
Christmas: The countdown has begun, this is not a drill. With two weeks left until Christmas, holiday content is trending now more than ever. Share the holiday spirit with your audience with some festive content.
Memes 🤣
ChatGPT memes: ChatGPT is an AI chatbot that has taken the internet by storm. This AI can write short stories and essays, code, create art, and even create memes. People on social media are rightfully mind-blown and the memes reflect exactly that.
World Cup memes: The biggest sport event is nearing its end but the meme machine is still hard at work. Throughout the tournament, people have been sharing their reactions about games, players' interactions, fans' reactions, and plenty of memes to participate in the ongoing online conversation. And, since this World Cup has been filled with funny and surprising moments, the memes have been extra funny.
