Here's the top content that users enjoyed viewing in 2023. FULL STORY ====================================================================== In 2023, TikTok was the gift that kept on giving. There wasnt a dull moment on the video-sharing platform, which provided users with witty content and inescapable trends that landed on everyones FYP (that stands for For You Page for those unfamiliar with the jargon). Among the skits, recipes, and songs that were impossible to forget, TikTok became a place where users could find a community for everything we have Gen-Z to thank for that. TikTok recently released its annual Year on TikTok report to shed light on this years highlights, and some of them are weirder than you think. The standout moments of 2023 show that TikTok is the go-to place on social media for all sorts of random content and a lot has been shared over the last 12 months. Weve had the pleasure of consuming a hybrid outpouring of educational content, pop culture updates, and oddly satisfying videos that kept us scrolling for hours on end. Thanks to TikTok, I could tell you about everything from Taylor Swifts The Eras Tour, to what recipes you can and cant make with cottage cheese. If youre not yet caught up with the culture of video-sharing platforms or are a user who didnt get a full taste of the weirdness that was TikTok 2023, weve compiled a list of some of the most memorable content from the past year. Heres your quick run-down of the entertaining, and bizarrely amusing, videos that made it into our feed. Only on TikTok Theres no denying that TikTok is entertaining us with material that you wont find on other video-sharing platforms. 2023 was The Year of the Girl, specifically the rising girl dinner trend, which ushered in a comedic bandwagon that almost everyone jumped on. The #girldinner community reached a huge 2.5 billion views in total, with creators coming together to share meals theyd consider culinary delicacies. The best part about #girldinner is that they were never actual dinners; rather they were amalgamations of different snacky foods piled on one plate. Combine foods as random as cheese and crackers, watermelon, and black olives on a plate, and there you have it: girl dinner. @karmapilled original sound - karmacarr The obsession with Wes Anderson on TikTok highlighted the Gen-Z obsession with aesthetically pleasing cinema. Andersons notorious cinematic style was adopted by creators in 2023 through a trend where people would capture themselves as if they were in a scene from one of his movies. It quickly became a creative way for TikTokers to do everything from documenting a trip to Spain to romanticizing a daily walk in the park. @danclemt Obituary - Alexandre Desplat Our For You Faves Everyones FYP is designed so that content is tailored to users interests. TikToks algorithm is one of the smartest in social media, but theres always that select few videos that manage to make it onto a vast majority of feeds. While the ASMR autonomous sensory meridian response trend isnt for everyone (me, Im that everyone), it proved to be an acquired taste that kept cropping up on everyones feed in 2023. This year, ASMR diverted from its standard form tapping hard objects next to a microphone to omit crisp and spine-chilling sounds to instead using fried chicken. TikToker @thezachchoi was no stranger to the FYP, garnering millions of views and likes on his recipes. Combining elements of step-by-step recipes and the ASMR genre, Choi started a craze that brought two types of popular content into one video. His unique approach to ASMR creation took us through each step of the cooking process, captivating the attention of viewers with up-close and satisfyingly crunchy sounds of sauting, frying, and assembling food. Its safe to say that the hype around fried chicken and bubbling oil audio was not on anyones 2023 bingo card. @thezachchoi original sound - Zach Choi TikTok gets educational, and FoodTok The age of social media has everyone saying, Dont believe everything you see online. Ironically, in the context of that statement, TikTok saw a demand for educational content that you dont get in a typical classroom. TikTok was a place where niche educational facts rose to the surface; ones that made you scratch your head and make you think, Huh. @rescuerestore rose to popularity with their antique restoration content and pencil-sharpening history lessons, while Mr. Bean lookalike @mrbeandamatematica taught us tips and tricks on how to make tedious math problems a little easier. @rescuerestore My Antique Pencil Sharpener Collection PART 1 original sound - Rescue & Restore @mrbeandamatematica Dom Dom Yes Yes - Remix - Biser King Food is a genre that is featured in millions of TikTok videos every day, and 2023 saw imaginative recipes attracting major attention with a particular trend being cottage cheese recipes. Users quickly followed suit with the hype in light of rising healthy food hacks that circulate the video-sharing app. Thanks to this, TikTok has opened the door for emerging recipe trends. One of the great things about TikTok is that you never know what content youll be on the receiving end of and the rise of cottage cheese recipes is a perfect example, with it becoming the number one food trend on TikTok in 2023. @jakecohen COTTAGE CHEESE EDIBLE COOKIE DOUGH.
