And as usual for TikTok, it’ll be uncool in two weeks.

This has been around for a few weeks and this has kind of happened. It started as a series of people dancing in hospitals and spread from there into a sensation. However, eventually the sound forked into Americans using the song for fashion shows while barely moving at all. The original Budots dancers started a campaign to at least get the fashion tokkers to do the Budots dance while using the song for their fashion shows but that didn't happen and is considered lame. Now the sound is primarily used for fashion shows and all the awesome dancing is harder to find.

I didn’t realize Tiktok trends lasted longer than around 15 minutes?
