How long do AI video trends last?
Updated · Remake the Trend
From a few weeks to a few months. Most trends we track peak within weeks of spreading, but some keep going: a trend that spread in the summer can still have dozens of creators a week in November. Holiday trends restart every year.

What we measured
For each trend we know the month it spread (from the earliest posts we found) and how many different creators posted it in the 7 days before 5 November 2026. Oldest first:
| Trend | Spread in | Creators in 7 days | Status |
|---|---|---|---|
| Shaving Cream Trend | August 2026 | 14 | Still trending |
| La Calabaza | September 2026 | 32 | Hot now |
| C-Walk | October 2026 | 34 | Hot now |
| Bulin 47 | October 2026 | 32 | Hot now |
| Bby Wow Guy | October 2026 | 27 | Hot now |
| Smooth Criminal Dance | October 2026 | 25 | Hot now |
| Bestie Photo Booth | October 2026 | 22 | Hot now |
| Laughing Fairy | October 2026 | 15 | Hot now |

| Single Ladies Dog | October 2026 | 1 | Past its peak |
| Coffee Shop Bop | October 2026 | 1 | Past its peak |
| Bicep Heart | November 2026 | 83 | Hot now |
| First Time in a Fancy Cafe | November 2026 | 73 | Hot now |
What that suggests
- Age alone doesn't end a trend: Shaving Cream Trend spread in August 2026 and still had 14 creators that week.
- The older trends still going here are built around a sound people keep reusing: the sound gives newcomers an easy way in.
- Others fade within weeks: 3 of the 13 trends that spread in October 2026 were already past their peak in early November.
- Holiday formats come back on the calendar: look at last year's Christmas trends in early December.
What this can't tell you
It is one week's count from search results, which are a sample of TikTok, not all of it, and it covers only the trends we track. We measure again when we update the pages and keep each week's numbers, so this table will get longer.
