What’s Trending on TikTok? - October 2024
TikTok never fails to deliver a mix of hilarious, heartfelt, and downright weird trends every month, and October is no exception! From comedic memes to reflective moments, these trends are capturing attention everywhere. Here’s a rundown of what’s blowing up on TikTok this month and how you can get involved.
The Robot Meme
This trend has TikTokers pairing Alicia Keys’ classic song “No One” with a robot meme from the 2004 film, I, Robot, to convey that blank, emotionless expression when someone asks you to do something you’d rather not. The meme shows the robot character with a deadpan look, which TikTok users are adopting to share their own “please don’t make me do this” reactions to various situations. From being asked to sing in public to dealing with an unexpected task at work, this trend lets you get creative in showing off your most robotic reaction.

Think of a moment when you’d rather “malfunction” than do what’s being asked of you! `Grab the robot meme, overlay “No One” by Alicia Keys and share a scenario that makes you feel like shutting down (here's our example if you're struggling!) It’s an ideal way to capture those reluctantly compliant moments with a touch of humour!
Life is Worth Living Trend
TikTok can bring a bit of light into our lives, and this trend is all about embracing the little things that make life truly worth living. Users are sharing clips or carousels of moments that bring them joy, paired with Justin Bieber's song "Life is worth living".

This and Yap

October is bringing all the spooky vibes and introspective moments with the “October Theory” trend.
