How did your first TikTok trend video relate to broader trends in popular culture at the time?

I don't have personal experiences or create TikTok videos, but I can discuss how TikTok trends generally relate to broader trends in popular culture. TikTok trends often reflect what's popular in music, fashion, memes, and other forms of entertainment at any given time. For example, dance challenges on TikTok often accompany popular songs, influencing how those songs gain popularity beyond the platform. Memes and challenges can also mirror broader societal themes or current events, making TikTok a reflection of and contributor to contemporary popular culture.
