An album that makes you trip is a new trend on TikTok that’s been a major focus for lots of TikTokers in terms of generating content. After all, we are all under quarantine right now and that just means more social media, more Instagram, and more TikTok.
This challenge is very clever, creative, and funny as well. Basically, the challenge is to create or rather recreate famous album covers in your home and give it your own interpretation of the album covers.
Album covers are one of the most iconic graphic elements in the music and Entertainment industry. So, it’s really a fun way to reinterpret the “iconic” and find a way to make it funny and mock it and imitate and absolutely “do your own thing”.
What Is Album Cover That Makes You Trip Challenge?
This challenge is basically an act of recreating famous album covers and giving it a funny caption that makes the whole thing very funny at the end. Singers put lots of hard work in making an album cover but you can make it funny.
@niasioux it really do be like that
As you can see on this TikTok, the album cover she has recreated is Beyonce’s “Lemonade” and it’s a very stylish picture. But the caption and the combination of the song that she chose to play really is the punchline of this joke.
We have all had moments where waiters have picked up our plates before completely finishing the food. So, this TiToker has put an appropriate song named “Hold Up” and it is a sort of goofy and funny thing to do.
Specifically, album covers that make you trip might include psychedelic albums that Beatles, The Rolling Stones, Jimi Hendrix did during the 60’s- the great psychedelic revolution.
There are people who make psychedelic videos on TikTok and this trend is an act of paying homage to those wonderful psychedelic album covers and making something funny at the same time.
Is This Offensive To The Artists?
There have been remarks that making fun of somebody’s album cover is a douchey thing to do because it takes away the iconic element of the cover and makes fun of the artist’s struggles.
Ariana Grande recently retweeted a user’s tweet where he had explained that making fun of artists in any way takes away from their years of journey and their moment. So, is this trend offensive to the artists?
Should you be able to put some stupid caption on something really worked hard on by lots of people and take apart things for the sake of reinterpretation and commentary.
Everyone is entitled to their own opinions but I believe reinterpretation and commentary in any form is what keeps creativity alive. Things always need to be reinterpreted because it’s not the necessity but people are free to do it.
Everyone can make their own versions of anything ever created because once you have created something, it’s not only yours now. You have given it to the audience.
Although the audience can’t own the rights legally, they have the freedom to make fun of it, comment on it in any kind of way without bullying or being too offensive.
Some Tips To Make A Great Album Cover Challenge
- Select a great album cover and something that’s iconic and everybody knows. An obscure Indie album cover might not be the best choice as lt fewer people know about it.
- Make sure the song you choose and the caption you put up makes complete sense because that’s where the joke is.
- Don’t make the caption too long. Keep it short, keep it simple, and keep it funny.
