TikTok’s latest viral “trends” that are sweeping the world have left many scratching their heads in confusion and wondering if they accidentally stepped into a time machine back to the 1960s. Yes, you heard it right. The top trends of 2024 on the ever-popular video-sharing platform TikTok include the hot new look of “demure” and a quirky hippo named Moo Deng.
The so-called “demure” trend has taken TikTok by storm, with users all over the globe channeling their inner Audrey Hepburn or Jackie Kennedy. Instead of the usual flashy outfits and over-the-top makeup, TikTokers are now embracing a more conservative and understated style. Socks pulled up high, midi skirts, and oversized glasses seem to be the uniform of choice for those looking to join the demure squad. Because, let’s face it, who doesn’t want to dress like they’re auditioning for a role in a black-and-white movie from the 1950s?
But the demure trend is not the only head-scratcher on TikTok these days. Meet Moo Deng, the unlikely star of the app. This 2,000-pound hippo has captured the hearts of millions with his daily antics and laid-back attitude. From lounging in the sun to munching on carrots, Moo Deng has become the most-followed hippo on TikTok, surpassing even the most glamorous influencers and celebrities. Move over Kardashians, there’s a new social media sensation in town, and he’s got more charm than all of you combined.
Of course, with every trend comes a slew of copycats and wannabes. TikTok is now flooded with users trying to perfect the demure look or mimic Moo Deng’s every move, hoping to gain a slice of the fame and fortune that comes with viral success. Who needs talent and originality when you can just follow the herd and jump on the latest bandwagon, right?
In a world where likes and views reign supreme, it’s no wonder that people are willing to do just about anything for a chance at their 15 seconds of fame. From awkward dance challenges to questionable beauty hacks, TikTok has become a breeding ground for bizarre trends that make even the most seasoned social media users do a double-take. But hey, who are we to judge? If pretending to be demure or obsessing over a hippo brings joy and entertainment to the masses, then who are we to rain on their parade?
So, here’s to TikTok and its ever-evolving landscape of trends and crazes. Whether you’re into demure fashion or following the adventures of a lovable hippo, one thing is for sure: the world of social media is a strange and unpredictable place. And we can’t wait to see what absurdity the future holds. As they say, the only constant in life is change – and TikTok is living proof of that.
