If Instagram is where we’re dreaming of summer, TikTok in May is where we’re laughing through our stress. This month’s trends channel a unique blend of summer hype, Gen Z absurdism, and the relentless relatability of student life. Whether it’s through throwbacks or comedic mini-skits, TikTok is a playground for catharsis, memory, and chaotic self-expression.
Student life sarcasm
May = exam season. And TikTok knows it. A flood of videos is capturing the unfiltered chaos of academic life: sleepless nights, unproductive study sessions, and emotional breakdowns over printer jams.

The Soundtrack to absurd situations
This trend blends comedy and existential dread with absurd precision. TikTokers film themselves in staged dramatic scenarios—being “robbed,” “abducted by aliens,” or “falling off a cliff” – all while casually vibing with their AirPods in, completely unaware.

Spring is blooming on TikTok, and creators are embracing the season’s soft, dreamy energy.
From sun-drenched walks to pastel outfits and flower-filled picnics, the “spring vibe” trend invites users to slow down and celebrate life’s simple beauties. Think natural lighting, easygoing soundtracks, and aesthetic moments that feel like the opening scene of your favorite indie movie.
