The “manchild” TikTok trend, set to Sabrina Carpenter’s track, is your brand’s chance to be playful + relatable. 👕 “Not hungry” but eats your fries? 📣 Ignores strategy for Comic Sans? Say less. Jump in, don’t overthink it. 🎵 #socialmediatrends #socialmedia

The Sorting Hat has returned - but it's not Hogwarts, and the houses are millennial to their core. TikTok creators are sorting themselves (and each other) into ultra-specific lifestyle “houses”: Think sourdough starters, monstera plants, 5 a.m. workouts, and BookTok hauls. 🧁🌿💪📚 #socialmediatrends

“Propaganda I’m Not Falling For” is TikTok’s latest aesthetic roast. 💅 Set to Charli XCX ft. Bon Iver or Elton John's Rocket Man, users list “lies” they’re done believing. For brands, it’s a clever way to myth-bust with sass—“AI will take your CM job”? Not today. 👀 #socialmediatrends

Trump may extend TikTok’s June 19 ban deadline for a third time. Without a sale, TikTok could vanish from U.S. app stores (SO DO NOT DELETE). Several bids are in, but ByteDance hasn’t confirmed a deal. Trump even floated the U.S. taking a 50% stake. 👀 #TikTokBan

#Labubu, the chaotic-cute collectible from Pop Mart, is taking over TikTok as Gen Z’s emotional support gremlin 🧸✨. Unboxings, POV chaos, and backstories galore.

For brands? Big opportunity for playful content, filters, and tiny mischief. Don’t miss the gremlin wave! 😈 #socialmediatrends
