The moment

Your video has the silence and the drop

The storm trend moment is the drop: after a long, tense silence with the whole crowd staring into the lens, everyone around you lunges forward and bows on the same beat while you stand perfectly still.

Your storm trend video keeps the face and clothes from your photo through all 15 seconds, from the walk into the crowd to the high wide shot of the steps, with the trend sound already on it.

  • Walking into the silent crowd
  • Turning to the camera in the middle
  • The whole crowd bowing on the beat
  • You, the only one standing still

Background

How the storm trend spread

The storm trend started with STORM, the April 2026 music video by GENER8ION with Yung Lean, whose second part, STORM II, ends with a crowd of schoolboys in dark uniforms dancing on the school steps in a tight formation.

The storm trend went viral as an AI format in mid-September 2026, when people began putting themselves in the middle of that crowd. One video about the trend passed 1.1 million views on TikTok, and remakes put the calm lead in crowds of their own, like a crowd in red with beaded collars on a plain.

Timeline

  1. A video about the storm trend passes 1.1M views

  2. A remake with a crowd in red passes 368K views

FAQ

Storm Trend AI FAQ

What is the storm trend?

+

The storm trend is a short AI video in which a person walks into a huge crowd standing in silent rows, stops in the middle, and on one beat the whole crowd bows and breaks into the same dance while the person stands perfectly still.

Where does the storm trend come from?

+

The storm trend comes from STORM, a two-part music video by GENER8ION, the duo of the producer Surkin and the director Romain Gavras, with the Swedish rapper Yung Lean, released in April 2026. In STORM II a crowd of suited schoolboys dances on the steps of a school.

How do I make the storm trend AI video?

+

To make the storm trend AI video, upload one clear photo of yourself on this page and hit Generate. MakeMeme puts you in the middle of the crowd on the school steps, with the silence, the drop and the sound, so there's no prompt to write.

Do I dance in the storm trend video?

+

No. In the storm trend video you are the one who never moves: you walk in, stop in the middle and stand perfectly still while the whole crowd bows and dances around you. That calm is the whole joke.

Which photo works best for the storm trend AI?

+

For the storm trend AI, a sharp, front-facing photo of one person works best, from the waist up or full body, in good light. The clothes in your photo are what you wear in the crowd, and a light colour stands out against the dark blazers.

Can I choose the crowd and the place in the storm trend video?

+

Yes. In the storm trend AI you can type the crowd and the place, like nurses in a hospital courtyard or office workers in a lobby, and the same walk-in, silence and bow happen around you. Leave both empty for students in black blazers on the school steps, like the viral clips.

How long is the storm trend video?

+

The storm trend video is 15 seconds and widescreen 16:9, like the viral versions: the walk in, the silent crowd, the drop on the beat and the high wide shot, with the sound on it.

What AI is used for storm trend videos?

+

Storm trend videos on MakeMeme use the AI video model that fits this trend best: it keeps the face from your photo in the middle of a crowd of strangers and lands the crowd's drop on the beat, in widescreen 16:9 at 480p, 720p or 1080p.

Is the storm trend AI free?

+

No. AI video generation is expensive to run, so making the storm trend video always costs money. On MakeMeme each video costs from 30 credits, paid from a credit pack, with no watermark. Most videos are ready in a few minutes, and we email you when yours is done.

What resolution is the Storm Trend AI video, and how many credits does it cost?

+

For the Storm Trend AI video you pick the resolution before you generate: 30 credits at 480p, 60 at 720p or 120 at 1080p. Every resolution gives the same 15-second cinematic widescreen video; higher resolutions are sharper.

Only upload photos of yourself or of people who agreed to be in your video. MakeMeme isn't affiliated with GENER8ION, Yung Lean or the creators of the viral clips.
