The ‘anything can be an album cover’ trend is taking over TikTok, as people are using a filter to turn their photos into album covers.
TikTok‘s viral ‘anything can be an album cover’ trend has taken the app by storm, as users are turning mundane moments into iconic album covers.
This challenge sees TikTokers selecting random videos or photos and applying a specific filter that transforms them into a stylized album cover. It even adds a ‘Parental Advisory’ sticker, mimicking the look of explicit content warnings often seen on music albums.
The effect also makes it appear like you’re listening to the album on a music app, complete with play buttons and progress bars. Most of these videos are set to the track ‘redrum’ by 21 Savage.
