TikTok Embraces Medieval Aesthetic with #MedievalTikTok Trend

The TikTok community has embraced an aesthetic from the Middle Ages with the #MedievalTikTok trend. This trend has been influenced by the rising popularity of Bardcore, a musical genre that involves performing modern popular songs in Medieval styles. Users create videos with Medieval-inspired content, incorporating fandom and language. They use Green Screen to upload paintings from the Middle Ages and dance in front of them, adding TikTok Text that describes light-hearted, 'ancient' behavior.

The trend has expanded to include a variety of Bardcore-inspired covers, such as 'Barbie Girl' and 'Watermelon Sugar.' Notable videos showcase creative engagement, with teachers using the trend to engage students and individuals sharing their unique talents.

A new effect called Laser Background became popular during this trend, providing a nostalgic backdrop for the #Queerbook trend. This effect was used by TikTok users to share their favorite quotes for the Queerbook Class of 2021.

Classical Music has also gained popularity on TikTok, becoming one of the hottest sounds on the app. Users incorporate classical music in their videos, whether they are telling stories, showcasing skills, or simply having fun.
