Tiktok Trends - October 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.

The “Saying Something Stupid” Trend
Jennifer Lawrence's raw rendition of Something Stupid from the movie Joy has TikTok buzzing, with creators loving the twist her raspy voice brings to the classic song. Known for disliking singing, Lawrence’s honest take adds a refreshingly unpolished feel compared to earlier versions by Frank Sinatra and Robbie Williams. This unique cover has sparked a trend where TikTokers reveal their own “something stupid” moments, using the song’s iconic line, “And then I go and spoil it all, by saying somethin’ stupid like…”
To join in, choose between two styles: use the song’s clip to reveal a real clip of yourself saying something silly, or overlay text on the audio to fill in your “something stupid” moment. Time your text to appear right after the line, giving it extra punch.
Some text overlay ideas:
- “Sure, I’ll just do it for free this time.”
- “No problem, I can work late to get it done.”
- “Let’s split the bill, I didn’t order much anyway.”
- “I don’t need directions; I know the way.”

The “We can always just…” Trend
Grab your office bestie and try out this TikTok trend that’s ideal for those lightbulb moments when you both realize a much easier way to tackle a task. The trend uses audio from Gravity Falls with the line, “You can always just disintegrate me with water,” as you and your friend lip-sync and point to each other’s heads to show off your newfound genius.
To join in, pair the audio with a relatable scenario, like solving a recurring problem or uncovering a simple solution. Lip sync to the line, and use the text overlay to describe the task you finally figured out together.
Some overlay ideas:
- "When we realize we could just copy-paste instead of retyping everything."
- "When we realize we could bring our own snacks to the movie theater.”
- "When we find out there’s actually an auto-save feature after months of losing drafts."

The “In Da Klurb, We All Fam” Trend
A throwback from the mid-2010s has taken over TikTok, thanks to a sound clip from the Comedy Central sitcom Broad City. This trend features users lip-syncing to an audio clip from a 2016 episode, where two characters humorously discuss nightclub etiquette. The dialogue, which includes the line "In da clurb, we all fam," has become a go-to for creators to caption moments that reflect community, bonding, or playful awkwardness with strangers.
The trend often involves creators lip-syncing to the 12-second exchange, sometimes cutting off the final line depending on the context. Many comments highlight the nostalgia and humor of the original scene, with users delighted to see this underrated quote finally get its viral moment.
You can use it for moments like:
- Meeting strangers at a festival
- Bonding over a mutual work struggle
- Running into another parent at the playground

The “Direct From Domingo” Trend
The internet is buzzing after Ariana Grande's guest appearance on Saturday Night Live (Oct 12), where she starred in several sketches. One standout skit, Bridesmaid Speech, has gone viral. In the sketch, Grande and cast members Ego Nwodim, Sarah Sherman, and Heidi Gardner sing an off-key song about their friend Kelsey’s bachelorette party to the tune of Espresso by Sabrina Carpenter. The skit reveals Kelsey spent most of the trip with a guy named Domingo, played by Marcello Hernandez, who later appears and cheekily admits to the groom, “Kelsey’s my friend; she’s like my sis, but we did hook up, though!”
TikTok has latched onto Domingo’s hilarious confession, with creators using his lines to explain situations where they’ve had to explain themselves. To join in, use the trending sound and channel your inner Domingo. Lip-sync to the first 6 seconds of the audio, saying, “Hey Matt. Came all this way, had to explain, direct from Domingo,” while overlaying text that fits your scenario. For an added effect, look off-camera as if addressing someone out of frame.
Some ideas for text overlays:
- "When I have to jump in on an email thread while out of office"
- "When my colleague ignores my Slack messages, so I show up at their desk"

The “Interpretive Dance” Trend
TikTok has embraced interpretive dance as a fun and light-hearted way to bargain for a reward. This trend, set to the track “Laterals” by Fat Code Studios, challenges users to perform interpretive dances in exchange for things like treats or favors. It all started when a girl made her roommate’s boyfriend dance to stay the night, and now it’s become a playful test of how far someone will go to get what they want.
To join the trend, pick someone to challenge and get them to dance to the music. It’s not about being a good dancer—the more extreme the dance, the better the content. Then, overlay text that explains who’s dancing and what they’re trying to win, like “Me doing an interpretive dance to get my invoice paid” or “My colleague dancing to turn this meeting into an email.” Whether the dancing is great or hilariously bad, it’s all part of the fun!

The “I Love Your Daughter” Trend
If you’re a Gilmore Girls fan, you’ll instantly recognize the voice in this trending audio as Kirk from Season 2, Episode 19. In his short film A Film by Kirk, he meets his girlfriend’s tough parents and declares, “I love your daughter,” only for the father to ask, “What do you have to offer her?”. Kirk then showcases his hidden talent by breaking into dance, and this iconic moment has been remixed with the song Breath by Years & Years (Blu Cantrell Remix), inspiring TikTokers to reveal their hidden skills.
To join in, lip sync to Kirk’s lines—“I love your daughter” and “Nothing, only this”—and then cut to a clip showing off your talent. Whether it’s cooking, painting, or something more quirky, the reveal is fun! You could showcase anything from a new camera you bought to a perfectly curated Pinterest board. It’s a great way to show off your skills while keeping things light and playful!

The “Life is Worth Living” Trend
Justin Bieber’s emotional ballad Life is Worth Living is trending on TikTok, where creators are using the raw and heartfelt song to contrast light-hearted or absurd moments, like enjoying a perfect burger or receiving great news. The song’s vulnerability adds a surprising twist, making these videos both funny and uplifting. It’s a way for creators to find humor in the small joys that lift their spirits.
If you're feeling down or uninspired, this trend can be a fun, therapeutic way to share what brings you hope. Whether it’s a simple act like saving a file as “FINAL” or planning a spontaneous trip, use the audio to capture those moments. If your happy moment isn’t easy to film, just overlay it with text while you record yourself. It’s a great way to share what makes life feel worth living!

The “Scram! Leave Her Alone” Trend
This playful trend works great with TikTok’s Green Screen feature or CapCut. The viral “Scram! Leave her alone” audio allows creators to pair it with an image that represents a moment when they’d want to shout the phrase. For example, one creator hilariously imagines what ibuprofen says when kicking a headache or pain out of their system. The Green Screen feature lets you put an image in the background that fits the scene, adding a fun visual twist.
To join the trend, simply pick a situation that makes you want to say “scram!” and use TikTok’s text feature to describe it. Whether it’s an unwanted work email during vacation or someone interrupting your nap, the key is to choose something everyone can relate to and have a laugh!

The “What’s Your Name? Rachel” Trend
The iconic “What’s Your Name? Rachel” clip from X Factor is back in the spotlight, now mashed up with Chappell Roan’s catchy track “Super Graphic Ultra Modern Girl.” This version comes with a fun dance challenge, where creators lip-sync along while doing the routine. For an added twist, many participants are nailing the look with a blank stare to rack up style points.
To get in on the trend, simply follow the choreography while keeping a straight face for extra flair. The quirky combination of the X Factor nostalgia and Roan’s modern track makes this challenge both funny and nostalgic—a perfect recipe for viral content!
