Tiktok Trends Quiz – Viral Dances, Sounds and Challenges

TikTok, created by ByteDance, launched internationally in 2017 and merged with Musical.ly in 2018. Its For You page uses an algorithm to serve videos from anyone, letting unknown creators go viral overnight.

Trends spread as users reuse sounds and copy dances, often through duets and stitches. The Renegade dance was created by 14-year-old Jalaiah Harmon in Atlanta, and Lil Nas X's Old Town Road exploded through a TikTok challenge in 2019.

In 2020 a skateboarding video set to Fleetwood Mac's Dreams sent the old song back up the charts. Charli D'Amelio became the most-followed creator in 2020, later overtaken by Khaby Lame, known for silent comedy.
