Lalala Vs Okokok
Lalala vs. Okokok is a TikTok trend and personality quiz from March 2023 that sorts people into two vibes using the adlibs in Tyler, the Creator's 'See You Again.' Animator @nevon1nonly kicked it off, and by late April the sound had been used in roughly 412,300 videos, mostly framing best friends, partners, and fictional pairings as one type or the other.
Overview
Lalala vs. Okokok is a TikTok trend where users sort themselves, friends, celebrities, or fictional characters into one of two vibes tied to the adlibs in Tyler, the Creator's 2018 track 'See You Again' with Kali Uchis2. The 'Lalala' side reads as extroverted and playful, while 'Okokok' reads as introverted and reserved, and creators use the sound to size up best friends, romantic partners, and shipping couples1. The label became a widespread vibe check on the app through spring 2023.
The format works two ways. In one version, someone films themselves and a friend or partner so each person gets assigned to a side. In the second version, creators build photo slideshows that assign the labels to fictional characters, often through the 'She Was a X Girl, He Was a X Boy' object-labeling template3. Both versions ride the same short snippet from 'See You Again,' where Kali Uchis trades soft 'la la la' phrases with a lower 'ok ok ok' answer.

The format typically starts with the 'See You Again' adlib snippet as background audio. Creators commonly either film themselves with a partner or friend so each person gets assigned 'Lalala' or 'Okokok,' or they build a slideshow that hands the two labels to characters, celebrities, or paired concepts. The sorting rule of thumb: the louder, sillier, or more outgoing half gets 'Lalala,' and the quieter or deadpan half gets 'Okokok'1.
