Brands on TikTok and March Trends
Another week, another alert! Our OG instagram account @2old4tiktokpod is back! Many thanks and respect to the placeholder account, we’ll hold you in our hearts forever. This week on the pod Dena and Catalina are joined by friend and Tik Tok enthusiast Steph to discuss the latest trends and of course their guest’s extra special job as the social media manager of an unnamed grocery brand. After introductions the ladies dive into the hard hitting questions about all things branding on the platform, highlighting some of the best, like @drinkolipop, and worst corporate accounts (rhymes with nap) selling their wares on Tik Tok. Next they discuss coverage of the Taylor Swift Eras tour, including @tellthebees comments on the “boomerfication of Gen Z.” Other highlighted trends include medical match day videos and the newly resurfaced Dimitri audio. Dena tells everyone the algorithm leading her to anti eye rubbing videos and Catalina shares a cautionary tale about cutting habanero peppers. The show ends with another creator highlight with Steph discussing her love for @octopusslover8 and Catalina trying to explain the amazing art fashion of @myramagdalen. Check out all the videos we mention and more on our blog (2old4tiktok.com), Instagram (@2old4tiktokpod), and TikTok (@2old4tiktok_podcast).

March 2023 TikTok Trends
Alert! Alert! We have a new instagram account, @2old4tiktokpodcast, and there’s a bird on the loose in New York City! Dena and Catalina start off this week’s discussion of the latest TikTok trends with Flaco the owl’s escape from the Central Park Zoo. They share @graciewiener’s excellent rundown of the fugitive fowl’s walkabout in the park before turning to a trend that the girls have already had more than enough of: the bold glamor filter. As a very necessary palate cleanser Dena and Catalina discuss the exponential rise of @octopusslover8, whose crowd sourced impressions have everyone clamoring for more. Next, they take a moment to congratulate @rohitroygre on making it to a whopping 1000 days of no fizzy drinks before moving on to some of the latest food trends across the platform. Creators like @Halleykate and @narratedblack are trying their luck with yellow dragon fruit, and @kaykaysday’s ice cream wrapped in a Fruit Roll-up is a divisive subject for Dena and Catalina. Audio trends are next on the agenda, with this week’s popular tracks including Ceilings by Lizzy McAlpine, Love Me Back (Fayahh Beat) by Trinidad Cardona, and the sped up version of Green Green Grass by George Ezra. Finally, the girls couldn’t say goodbye without touching base about the Vanderpump Rules drama that quickly replaced the Selena Gomez/Hailey Beiber feud as the celebrity gossip du jour.

February 2023 TikTok Trends Part 2: Meredith Makeup, Teenager Filter, Kendall Jenner and Bad Bunny + More!
Dena and Catalina are joined by special guest and dear friend Ashley Yalof (@ashleyrosayy) this week to discuss the latest trends and Ashley’s side of the Tik Tok algorithm! After a little chat about their weeks (Happy Birthday Dena!) they dive into their guest’s area of expertise: makeup and beauty content. Ashley walks them through the Meredith trend by Meredith Duxbury with the help of @Kaylajaye_, they debate the results of the teenager filter, and she educates them on the parameters of a lip flip. Next, the group hears from @emmatainment on how to check their one star Uber ratings and describe the Ancestors trend, featuring videos from @e_nj_k , @emmevv, and @thecampaigngirl. The group discusses the debut of Tik Tok Trivia before turning to the topic of misinformation and what we think of the East Palestine train crash content circulating on the platform. Finally, the sting of a potential Kendall Jenner/Bad Bunny pairing, summarized by @blakelythornton, is alleviated by the comedy of @massmandato.
