Trending Lifestyle Audios
A slowed-down version of the intro to Eyedress's "Jealous" is currently trending on Instagram, adding a touch of nostalgic melancholy to users' content. This mellow and atmospheric instrumental track has become a popular audio choice for showcasing merchandise, highlighting photography portfolios, and offering behind-the-scenes glimpses.
Altego's remix of Hozier's recently released "Too Sweet" is taking off on social media. Content creators are embracing this catchy tune, using it to soundtrack everything from nature and hiking montages to fashion try-on hauls and stunning views of famous landmarks. The remix's upbeat tempo and infectious melody make it a versatile choice for capturing attention and adding a touch of magic to various forms of content.
Diss Tracks are Trending
Amidst the recent Drake and Kendrick Lamar feud, Metro Boomin, a producer aligned with Lamar, dropped a diss track called "BBL Drizzy," referencing rumours about Drake getting a Brazilian Butt Lift. Drake later reclaimed the diss by using the beat in his own song. The track quickly went viral, sparking memes and discussions online.
The "BBL Drizzy" track has quickly become a viral sensation on TikTok, spawning a variety of memes and trends. Users have created remixes, dance challenges, and reaction videos to the beat, often incorporating humour and references to the Drake and Kendrick Lamar feud. Additionally, the track is frequently used in duets and stitches, allowing creators to add their own commentary or reactions to the ongoing drama. Duolingo, known for its witty, timely and more-than-slightly unhinged social media engagement, has hopped on the trend, showcasing its mascot Duo the Owl dancing to the beat and humorously reminding users to complete their language lessons.
The Four Seasons Orlando Baby
A video of a baby reacting to the phrase "Who wants to go to the Four Seasons Orlando" has taken the internet by storm, capturing the hearts of millions and sparking a viral trend. The original video, posted by @so_brisizzle, features the baby enthusiastically responding "Me!" with a raised finger when asked who wants to go to the luxurious resort. The baby's unexpected response, combined with the upscale context, resonated with viewers and instantly became a meme.
The trend evolved as users began creating parody videos, often featuring adults or other children mimicking the baby's enthusiastic response in various scenarios. Some even utilized AI to put words in the baby's mouth.
I Said Stick Em’ Up
Johnny Cash's classic song "The Chicken In Black" is experiencing a resurgence in a most unexpected and heartwarming way. Pet owners and zookeepers alike are embracing the trend, playfully holding their furry, feathered, or scaly companions as if they were shotguns in a bank robbery. The videos, set to the iconic tune, showcase the adorable personalities of various animals, from fluffy cats and cuddly dogs to exotic birds and even otters. This lighthearted trend has captured the hearts of social media users, offering a humorous take on the song's original narrative.
