Entertainment/ Lockdown Trend
From Dalgona Coffee to TikTok fails, these 10 ridiculous trends from the COVID-19 lockdown now that we laugh at. This article will take you back to your lockdown period and make you laugh at things we did to stay sane in 2020!
2020 was… a time. When everything in the world was going fine, suddenly one day the wildfire Covid shook the whole world, bringing lockdown worldwide.
From running restlessly along the world to keep up with the competitors to take leave from everything and leave from everyone and just stay home. Will it ever happen again?
Social media was the only key to entertaining and engaging with the world. In this phase, we all followed funny, meaningless trends that all joined from our uncle to neighbors to colleagues, to keep ourselves alive in the pandemic.
Let’s buckle up for a light-hearted ride down memory lane with viral trends we did in 2020 that now make us say, “Wait, what? We really did that?” or “What a cringey time?”
1. Made Dalgona Coffee Like It Was Art
Dalgona Coffee was a peak pandemic aesthetic and also an arm workout we weren’t ready for!!
Whipping the coffee and sugar to get the perfect consistency took half a pandemic for us.
Yet, posting a snap of it was a project for us that time.
Now, we don’t even order Dalgona coffee from or at a café.
2. Zoomed Through Life – Literally
The Zoom meeting was the key for Venue.
Birthdays? Baby Shower? official Meetings? Everything we hosted at Zoom.
All turned into a Zoom call where half of us forgot to mute, and a coat suit with tracks was the dress code for everyone.
And those funny, awkward moments when our family or pets enter while we were in the meeting, can never be forgotten by us, right?
3. Did TikTok Dances Like Our Life Depended on It!!
Jason Derulo and Jawsh 685 – Savage Love, did somebody, did somebody, didn’t dance? Still remember my strict never laughed uncle dancing to it.
Renegade by K CAMP, Say So by Doja Cat, WAP by Cardi B. We all tried to keep up. And yes, the internet still remembers it all.
4. Became Accidental Hairdressers
Salons were closed. So what did we do? We grabbed scissors and trusted the process.
The result? Let’s just say hats became our best friends for a few months.
5. Baked Banana Bread Like It Was a Competition
Let’s be honest — we all thought we were becoming the next MasterChef. Banana bread was the unofficial snack of the pandemic.
Now? Just the smell brings flashbacks of pandemic days.
6. Stockpiled Toilet Papers
Built up a small castle with toilet paper rolls.
Stocked toilet paper, like the manufacturing unit, is closing for the rest of our lives.
We didn’t know what was happening, but at least we were ready for… um, anything.
7. Bought Many Things Online (Thanks, Boredom)
Mini Projectors, Yoga Mats, Board Games, Air fryers, Toys, Puzzles, building blocks…We bought it all.
Used it once, now all of them are crying in our cupboards to get some life.

8. Became Plant Parents Overnight
We thought we’d be botanical experts. But overwatering, underwatering, and forgetting sunlight ended that dream quickly.
RIP to our leafy friends.
9. Tried One Home Workout – Then Gave Up
We all became fitness freaks for a phase and ended up in food chase.
Remember Chloe Ting and the 2-week shred challenge?
We started with hope. Then the pain hit. Then the chips hit. And the rest is history.
10. Said “This Will All Be Over in Two Weeks”
The most viral lie of 2020.
We really thought life would be back to normal by April. Oh, sweet summer child.
Conclusion
Oh! That was a time. Looking back, the COVID lockdown was a strange time.
The time we saw the other side of ourselves and others as well, from our manager dancing to our all-time busy father cooking.
Though the pandemic was brutal, we all kept ourselves alive with all these things, right? The lockdown gave us stories, laughs, and memories we’ll never forget. Sure, some trends were weird — okay, most of them — but hey, we did what we had to do to survive.
It was a beautiful time, we never wanted to see again. The whole world stopped, empty roads, empty streets with zero humans, zero pollution, will even future generations have a chance to glance? Yep! We were part of one-time history.
So, which of these trends did you fall into? Comment below and share this with someone who needs a good laugh today!
