The story of how i died for 30 seconds

This trend is all about the dramatic audio. Creators pair it with completely exaggerated situations that “almost killed them” emotionally, mentally, or financially.

The joke is that the problem is usually something very normal, but the reaction looks like a full cinematic collapse.

How to do the trend

• Start with text overlay: “when ___ nearly kills you”
• Film yourself lying dramatically on the floor like you’re lifeless or unconscious
• Scatter objects around you to make the scene feel chaotic: laptop, snacks, purse, water bottle, etc.
• Then when the beat drops, suddenly “come back to life” and start fixing the problem

How can creators use it:

Show how the app/product helped you come back to life because it simplified the whole process.

• “when tracking expenses manually nearly kills you”comes back to life after opening the budgeting app
• “when meal planning for the week becomes a full-time job”the app helps you with recipes

For this trend, use this audio.

Master of none

This trend is all about embracing the fact that you don’t have to be amazing at something to enjoy it.

Use the “master of none” concept to show all the random hobbies, phases, interests, and skills you’ve picked up over time, even if you’re not perfect at any of them.

It feels very human, very “trying things for fun again,” and people love it because it celebrates curiosity instead of perfection.

How to do the trend

• Show different hobbies, routines, or interests through short clips: painting, baking, journaling, running, gaming, etc
• Add text overlay referencing being a “master of none” or trying lots of things
• The vibe should feel casual, playful, and personal rather than overly polished

How can creators use it:

Use the trend to show how the app or product supports all the different parts of your life.

• Productivity: Show multiple hobbies while using the app to stay organized.
• Finance: Show all the expensive hobbies or random interests you somehow keep funding.
• Health: Show different wellness phases: pilates, running, meal prep…The app becomes the thing helping maintain balance between all the habits.

For this trend, use this audio.
