With so many users on TikTok and plenty of new trends being generated each day, it’s not uncommon to be confused when people start making reference to something you’ve not heard about before.
On many occasions in the past, specific dates have even gone viral, each one corresponding to a different trend.
December 3 was a big topic of conversation that month, as people started making references to the popular Conan Gray song ‘Heather’ which talked about getting a sweater from your crush. Some dates have had more ominous implications on TikTok, such as August 27.

While there could potentially be many meanings this specific date and time has, many of the videos referencing it appear to be talking about the premiere of the second season of ‘Euphoria.’
