May 2023 TikTok Trends Part 2

Dena and Catalina open the episode with a necessary debriefing on the Eurovision song contest and strategies for taking on Metlife stadium during the Eras tour from content creator @roseybeeme. Next segment is what the algorithm thinks they want to see. For Catalina it’s the Boys with Birkin Bags, @angelllboys, summarized perfectly by @herrerashow, and for Dena it’s…people falling down, with videos by @sarahkubiritova, @edouardbas, and @sweetestsins_. Vogue is all over our For You page this week, with casting call videos by @salomedas and @oyesebastien, and a 73 questions parody (that we can’t stop calling 72 questions) by @nick.tiff. Special mention also goes to @galdinosilva’s video of plant-based outfits. The toddler voice-over trend is also all the rage on TikTok these days, with @averyywoods and @another_internet_mom leading the charge. The girls have two featured content creators this week, up and comer @gilbertjasono, whose cocktail names video had them taking stock of their most recent beverage purchases, and @bentonmcclintock with some of the best NYC content the platform has to offer. Their featured celebrities on TikTok include bread-lover @mattjames9191 and the…serious? Billy McFarland @pyrtbilly. After a quick overview of @thewhyteelephant’s milkshakes during the food segment they move on to two notable audio trends: @mikaylanogueira saying Kim Kardashian, to the horror of cats and babies everywhere, and a song about a bottle of hoisin sauce by @thebnoth . Dena has learned about the dangers of driving with a claw clip thanks to @arielleelonys and they wrap up discussing @moorrgs as an aspirational example of expert-level packing.
