TikTok users are transforming their accounts to become part of the ‘Minion Cult,’ a trend inspired by the wildly popular ‘Despicable Me’ movies. Here’s everything you need to known about the Minion Cult.
TikTok is the home of viral content online, and in the past few years has become a hub for viral trends and challenges, attracting millions of users to the platform.
One trend that keeps popping up on the app is the ‘cult’ trend, which isn’t quite as scary as it sounds. TikTok cults involve thousands of users changing their profile picture and often their display name to the same thing, usually related to a particular fanbase or meme.
Past cults have included the Lana Cult and the Hamster Cult, with specific images taking over comment sections across TikTok.
The latest cult to emerge on the platform has been dubbed the ‘Minion Cult,’ inspired by the wildly popular yellow creatures from the ‘Despicable Me’ franchise.
