How to fix pain as a kid

This trend compares how you handled a problem as a kid versus how you solve it now as an adult. It usually starts with something simple and relatable, like putting a band-aid on everything, and then cuts to the adult version, where a product or app becomes the “real” solution.

The key is that the pain point has to be specific. The more specific, the funnier and more relatable it feels.

How to do the trend

• Start with on-screen text: “How I fixed it as a kid”
• Show a simple, exaggerated solution like putting a band-aid on it or crying and throwing a tantrum
• Cut to: “How I fix it now”
• Reveal the product or app solving the actual problem

How can creators use it

• Beauty/skincare brand: “How I fixed breakouts then vs. now”
• Productivity app: “How I handled procrastination as a kid vs. now”
• Finance/budgeting: “How I fixed money problems as a kid vs. now”

Does He

This trend highlights the small details that make an experience feel premium. On screen, questions pop up one by one, starting with “Does he…?”, and the creator confidently responds with a calm, direct: “I do.”

Each question calls out a thoughtful detail, subtly positioning the creator or brand as attentive, high-standard, and different from the rest.

It’s confident without being loud.

How to do the trend

• Film yourself providing your service or showing your product in action
• Add text prompts that start with: “Does he…?”
• After each question, zoom slightly on your face where you look smug because you obviously do all those things. Add a text overlay right at that moment saying “I do.”
• Keep the tone serious and self-assured
• Repeat with 3-5 questions

How can creators use it

TINDER example

- “Does he text you first?”→ Zoom confident“I do.”
- “Does he actually plan the date?”“I do.”
- “Does he look like his pictures?”“I do.”
- Twist final :“Or… you could just match better on Tinder”

For this trend, use this sound.
