A hopecore trend called ‘Wi Wi Wi Cat’ has been going viral on TikTok. Accordingly, fans have become curious about this trend and its origins. Notably, the short-video sharing platform has often been the hub or birthplace of varying but unique trends such as ‘Microwave Filter.’
Without further ado, here is everything we have uncovered on this new TikTok trend.
Wi Wi Wi Cat trend on TikTok explained
The Wi Wi Wi Cat trend on TikTok is a hopecore trend, which is a genre of videos signifying hopefulness, peace, and goodness. In this trend, users share videos of a cat making the “wi wi wi” and “uyayu” sounds, while eating from a bowl of food, followed by a montage of shots that feature people, animals, and nature.
These shots evoke feelings of peace, serenity, joy, and calmness. Moreover, these videos are usually accompanied by the instrumental song, “Flawed Mangoes,” by Dramamine. The Wi Wi Wi Cat trend went viral recently. Albeit, its origins lie in a video posted one year ago by user @chocoquierellorarr. In this video, the user’s cat can be seen eating food from a bowl. Through the captions, the user also revealed the cat’s name to be Pepe.
In the wake of the trend’s rapidly rising popularity, the user, in response to a comment asking about the cat’s well-being shared a video of it walking on its bed. The user also played the Flawed Mangoes track, used in the trend, in the background.
Interestingly, several of the TikTok videos participating in this trend have accrued over a million likes. Meanwhile, some users have partaken in a slightly different way. These different videos have cats saying something other than Wi Wi Wi. For example, a user named @aimagic336 shared a video of a cat making the “hello” sound and their owner laughing. This was followed by a montage of peaceful shots of buildings, cars on roads, and a person jogging.
