📸 VSCO, new old aesthetic, and top trends of the week…

Nostalgia is making a comeback, plus the viral trends of the week. Here’s what’s going on:

👋 Weekly Tips & Tricks

📸 VSCO App Returns

Remember VSCO Cam? The popular photo-editing app is back and reimagined. VSCO has relaunched with new tools for creators – you can still capture and edit photos with its classic filters and sliders, but now there’s a bonus: a dedicated workspace to connect photographers with clients.

This means micro influencers who shoot content can potentially find gigs or collaborations through the app. It’s a nostalgia play and a utility boost in one, bringing a 2010s favorite into 2025’s creator economy.

😌 Lo-Fi Aesthetics Make a Comeback

A “back to basics” movement is sweeping social media, favoring raw authenticity over perfection. Creators are intentionally using “outdated” filters, grainy photos, and lo-fi edits (think early Instagram vibes) to give posts a candid, nostalgic feel.

🗓️ Batch your Content

Experts suggest choosing a handful of content ideas or prompts that align with your brand, mixing up content formats (e.g. Reels, Stories, carousels) to keep things fresh, and scheduling posts in advance when possible.

By batching and scheduling some content, you free up time to engage with your community in real time. The goal is a steady presence without the last-minute stress – a win-win for you and your audience.

 
🔥 Top Social Trends of the Week


⭐️ “The summer I…”: The Amazon Prime show The Summer I Turned Pretty has taken the internet by storm. Use this audio (the theme song from the series) and add what you have been up to this summer. It can be something silly like this example or more serious such as, “the summer i stopped caring about what others think.”

⭐️ Take a seat! : This is a trend where one person sits down and the other becomes the seat for them. It’s seriously THAT EASY!

⭐️ The Labubu Trend: If you are confused about what a Labubu even is, you are not alone. They are little monsters created by an illustrator from Hong Kong, and people love them. This audio is a person claiming they have the only 24-carat gold Labubu. So users are showing off their own unquie Labubu’s aka pets, boyfriends and more!
