Trendsetters: Body Positivity, Nostalgic Glow-ups, and Genre-Bending Hits Dominate Pop Culture

Welcome back, listeners, to Trendsetters: The Latest in Pop Culture—your VIP all-access pass to everything buzzing on your FYP, your screens, and your stan timelines. I’m Max Buzz, dialing up the neon, the glitches, and the pixel-perfect vibes, because this is your culture, amplified.

This week, TikTok is serving up a buffet of plot twists, power moves, and soft confessions. Latto’s “Big Mama” sound is everywhere—think unapologetic body stats, bold silhouettes, and creators owning their space with every post. From athletes to plus-size queens, everyone’s flipping the script on body scrutiny and turning visibility into pure, sparkly empowerment. If you’re not flexing your stats and vibing to this, are you even scrolling? Meanwhile, the “There Was a Time” carousel is hitting you right in the nostalgia feels. Creators are dropping dreamy glow-ups on slide one, then flipping to their wildest, messiest, most dramatic “then” moments on slide two—it’s emotional contrast, growth, and, honestly, a little chaos, all set to that wistful Cigarettes After Sex track. If you’re not sliding into your own DMs with these, what are you even doing with your camera roll?

On the big screen, the dinosaurs are back for another round. Jurassic World is making major waves, and honestly, escaping into a prehistoric world feels like the ultimate summer mood, especially when you’re trying to dodge heatwaves in real time. Ryan Coogler’s Sinners is also making the rounds—imagine Michael B. Jordan as twin brothers in 1930s Mississippi, battling vampires on opening night of their juke joint. It’s historical, it’s horror, it’s action—pretty much all the genres in one neon-lit, genre-bending package.

TV-wise, The Bear is back, and if you’re not obsessed with how chaos can taste so good, you’re missing out. Plus, queer reality dating is having a major moment—bring on the drama, the butterflies, and the messy, beautiful love stories. And, speaking of messy, The Weeknd’s latest venture, Hurry Up Tomorrow, has Jenna Ortega playing an overzealous fan—think Wattpad-level fantasy meets meta celeb culture. It’s that cringe-yet-captivating energy only Abel Tesfaye could dream up.

In fandom news, K-Pop’s got demon hunters and burlesque has gone horror. For those who love a good crossover, Nightmare on Strip Street is blending glitter, gore, and glam in a way that’s totally TikTok-friendly. And hey, if your OTP is causing you emotional damage, you’re not alone—fandom is pain, but the kind we all love.

Let’s not forget the dance floor—mashup compilations are taking over, blending the best of TikTok, Insta, and YouTube into one unstoppable choreo montage. If you haven’t lost hours to this yet, what are you waiting for?
