TikTok Trends: May 2021

Dena and Melissa start the show discussing ads on TikTok, mentioning ads from Splice, TurboTax, and a male coverup product that Dena keeps seeing. Then, they discuss song trends from @laney.wy “I hate everyone...but mainly you,” “Whole Lotta Money” from Bia, and “Bury a Friend” from Billie Eilish. Doja Cat makes fun of a straight TikToker (@itsnottreylander). We explain a TikTok workout trend, sampling a video from @toriious. We talk about cooking eggs in pesto as the latest food trend. Another new trend involves pouring water on something small then editing the video to make it look like the water made it bigger, one of our favorite videos comes from @ox_zung. A new viral video sensation uses stitch and duet to add to the @marcus.dipaola video “introducing you to my girlfriend.” People put together a video collage of a hostage situation with the hashtag #freebrittany. We explain the video by @maggiemaxeyy showing Southern girls saying where they are going to college. And finally, we highlight our favorite creator this week: @akorzen, “The Cranky New Yorker.” Check out all these videos and more on our blog (2old4tiktok.com), Instagram (@2old4tiktokpod), and TikTok (@2old4tiktok_podcast).
