11 Weird TikTok Obsessions That Blew Up Fast
TikTok isn’t ruled by logic—it’s ruled by obsession. The weirder, the better. Here are 11 TikTok fixations so odd they shouldn’t have worked… but exploded into full-blown influence.
1. #CleanTok (Obsession with Cleaning Dirty Things)
Watching someone scrub a crusty sink shouldn’t be addicting—but here we are. CleanTok creators now sell products, run brands, and rack up millions of views.
2. Medieval Roleplay & Cosplay TikTok
People obsessed with knights, taverns, and old English banter created a Renaissance world on TikTok. Now thousands act like peasants for fun—and we love it.
3. Fermentation Obsession (#FermentTok)
Kimchi, sourdough, kombucha—TikTokers became microbe-obsessed. Science meets kitchen alchemy. It’s gross, gorgeous, and somehow… viral.
4. FrogTok
Frog plushies, frog facts, frog aesthetics. What started as one obsessed user’s love for frogs turned into a wholesome, green-hued fandom.
5. Book Annotation Porn
Some TikTokers film their obsessively annotated books—color-coded, tabbed, highlighted. Oddly satisfying. Obsessed readers now sell journals and run classes.
6. Corecore Aesthetic
A surreal, chaotic video trend about emotional numbness and existentialism. Born from media-obsessed Gen Z minds. Somehow beautiful. Entirely confusing.
7. Grave Cleaning & Cemetery TikTok
Creators clean forgotten graves with intense dedication. It’s oddly peaceful, respectful, and weirdly emotional. Millions now follow.
8. Miniature Cooking
Obsessed chefs cook real meals using tiny stoves, pots, and utensils. Views in the tens of millions. Why? No one knows. But it works.
9. Mushroom Foraging & Fungi Tok
TikTokers obsessively identify, study, and cook mushrooms. From forest walks to mycology facts—it’s niche science that exploded.
10. WitchTok & Crystal Obsession
Tarot, energy cleanses, moon rituals. Spiritual obsessives found their home and helped revive modern mysticism for millions.
11. Obscure DIY Machines
From mechanical drawing bots to self-watering plants, TikTokers obsessed with small inventions built cult followings—and sometimes full product lines.

Your obsession doesn’t have to be normal. It just has to be real. The internet rewards passion, not perfection—and TikTok proves it daily.
