Whether we like it or not, TikTok has quickly become a social media platform that has taken over our lives. Even if you are not on the platform, you will have friends who consume content there daily and send short clips to you.
Those videos are always entertaining when you’re watching, and it’s pretty fun when you do it with a friend or a loved one.
So the next time you are out with your besties, you can try making TikTok videos, and it may surprise you in different ways. Here are several TikTok trends you can do no matter the time of the year!
1. Dressed in different aesthetics
This trend compares 2 or more friends with wildly different aesthetics. So if you’re planning on participating in this trend, you need to pre-plan it and choose who will be the “mum” friend who dresses comfortably and mature while the other party dresses like “their emo teen daughter.” You wouldn’t even need any dance moves for this, just twirl and show off your outfit!

2. Recreate skits
If you and your besties are on TikTok, then recreating some skits might be right up your alley. Use the trending sound and lip sync to the audio; you can even add some pizazz to make it your own! Who knows, maybe you will be able to create the next trending sound that everyone will use.
@arudaum I like melonsoda?
3. What time will they arrive?
This trend is perfect for Malaysians as we all have that ‘Malaysian timing’. It is ideal for bigger groups where you ask everyone to arrive at a specific time, and when they reach the venue, you would have to record them and the time that they arrived to show their punctuality. It is also a fun video to nudge your unpunctual friends to TRY to make it on time.

4. Dance
If you’re feeling dancey, put on your dance shoes and learn some of those trending TikTok dances. With a simple search, you can find the choreography for a specific song, and once you and your bestie(s) have learnt it, the world is your oyster!

5. Ask them questions!
This one is relatively straightforward and will definitely deepen your relationship with your friends. You play the sound and record it simultaneously, so when the statement is read out, you point to the person the statement is describing. It’s pretty simple! With this, you can also know the dynamics of your friendship and open up a few conversations.

There are certainly more trends out there that you can participate in with your friends and family, but these are the basics for you to get a start on. If you don’t nail the video, don’t fret! It’s just a TikTok video; the most important thing is that you had fun.
