While some will remember May 2022 as the month of CBSE Board exams, others may remember it for rising temperatures and weird petitions. But Instagram trends stay forever, no matter how high the temperature is or how important the exams are.

Here are 9 super viral May Instagram trends you need to try:

1. NO ONE CAN STOP ME

"and the best part of this plan is…no one can stop me" is a thought that has crossed all of our minds, definitely more than once. So why not, create a reel using this bumblebee filter and an audio that says exactly this?

2. MY MONEY DON’T JIGGLE JIGGLE

Does your money fold and not jiggle? If yes, follow this celebrity-approved choreography and let the world know! (also this trend is very catchy so don’t be surprised if yourself rapping this in the bathroom)

3. THIS IS YOU, THIS IS ME AND THIS IS ALL WE NEED

Got a friend that desperately needs the same thing you do? Make a reel out of it! All you have got to do is put a picture of your friend, you and the thing you want the most. Make sure your video synchronizes with the audio and if you need inspiration on how to make this reel, check this one out:

Most probably, you have heard this audio before as it is from Lewis Capaldi's song, Hold Me While You Wait. 

4. JOHNNY DEPP’S JACK SPARROW RUN

Tired of college classes but happy you can finally hang out with your friends? Or are you and your friends deeply invested in the Johnny Depp-Amber Heard defamation trial? Then why not make a video imitating Captain Jack Sparrow’s world-famous run from the Pirates of the Caribbean series and have a good laugh?

Check out this video for inspiration:

5. BOLLYWOOD DAY VLOG

Bollywood Day in college means a series of iconic Bollywood inspired outfits and performances. All you have to do to hop on this trend is to shoot a video of your friends behaving like the character they dressed up as and combine it all together. The best part of this trend? You can use any song you want on your reel. 

Check out these two reels for inspiration:

6. I LOVE MY LIFE

We’ve all watched The Vampire Diaries and engaged in hours-long fights over which is the better brother: Damon or Stefan (it will always be Damon for me) but it’s Elena/Katherine’s Season 5 dialogue that is going Insta viral.

Instagram users are creating a compilation of pictures and videos with the dialogue 'Dear Diary…I love my life' and if it is true for you, don’t miss out on taking part in this trend.
