Trends 📈
The "Just Wanted to Let You Know" trend: Post a video with this sound and the CapCut template and add text overlay to share something very boring about your life. This trend is a fun way to engage with your audience.
The "Send March 2020 Me Into a Coma" trend: Use this sound with text overlay to share with your audience something that would've sent you into a coma. This is a great way to share how we have changed since 2020.
The "Screaming, Crying, Throwing Up" trend: Use this sound, a remix of Taylor Swift's Blank Space, to share something that has you feeling all sorts of things.
The "Are We Best Friends?" trend: Use this sound to ask someone you consider a best friend this question. These recreations tend to be funny since the other person usually doesn't reciprocate the feeling.
Memes 🤣
The TikTok Ban memes: After TikTok's CEO testified in front of Congress this past Thursday, a US ban is on the table. TikTokers and other internet users took to social media to deal with the news the only way they know, memes.
