  • HOCO Hype: The Ultimate Homecoming Experience Get Ready for the Most Glamorous Night of Your Life, TikTok Style 1. Intro to Homecoming (HOCO) Hype Homecoming, or as it’s trending now on TikTok under HashtagHOCO, has long been a cherished tradition in high schools across the country. What was once a simple dance, pep rally, and football game has evolved into one of the most anticipated events of the school year. In the age of social media, Homecoming is not just about dancing in a gymnasium—it's about making memories, curating the perfect look, and capturing every moment in photos and videos to share online. On TikTok, Instagram, and other platforms, HashtagHOCO has exploded with excitement. What used to be a low-key night has now become a major event where every detail is Instagram-worthy. The hashtags, trends, and videos showcase everything from elaborate HOCO proposals to behind-the-scenes beauty routines. This podcast, “HOCO Hype,” is here to give you the ultimate guide to preparing for and slaying your Homecoming experience this year. Whether you’re a first-timer or a HOCO veteran, we’ve got you covered. We’ll cover everything you need to know—from the latest dress trends to the best TikTok dance moves to bust out on the big night. So, grab your squad and let’s get hyped for HOCO! 2. Homecoming Traditions Before we dive into the 2024 trends, let’s take a step back and appreciate where Homecoming all started. First celebrated in the early 1900s, Homecoming was originally created by colleges and universities as a way to welcome back alumni. Over time, the tradition trickled down to high schools, evolving into a celebration of school spirit and community pride. Today, Homecoming has become a staple of high school culture, marking the return of alumni, a big football game, and a dance that students eagerly prepare for weeks—if not months—in advance. And let’s be real: while the football game is great, the main event is the Homecoming Dance, where students dress up, take tons of photos, and dance the night away. Girls, especially, have turned the preparation into a ritual. Picking out the perfect dress, planning hairstyles and makeup looks, and getting that Instagram-worthy photoshoot are all part of the fun. And don’t forget the Homecoming Court—an age-old tradition where a king and queen are crowned, adding an extra layer of competition and excitement to the night. Now, in the age of TikTok, these traditions haven’t just survived—they’ve thrived, thanks to the endless possibilities of social media. TikTok is the perfect platform to showcase everything from HOCO proposals to the final glam reveal. 3. HOCO Dress Trends Let’s be real: when it comes to Homecoming, the dress is the star of the show. Finding the right dress can feel like a Cinderella moment, and thanks to the power of TikTok and Instagram, the hunt for the perfect dress has gone from stressful to inspirational. You can scroll through the HashtagHOCO tag for hours, finding inspiration from influencers and everyday girls rocking their best looks. What are the dress trends for HOCO 2024? Here are the hottest looks taking over TikTok this year: Sleek Satin Dresses: Satin is having a major moment, and it’s not hard to see why. Sleek and slinky satin dresses in jewel tones like emerald, ruby, and sapphire are turning heads. Pair this look with some strappy heels and statement earrings, and you’re set! Sparkles and Sequins: It’s not HOCO without a little bling, right? This year, girls are going all out with sequins and sparkly embellishments. Whether you choose a full sequin gown or just a touch of glitter, the goal is to shine. Bold Colors: Pastel pinks and soft hues are taking a backseat in 2024. Instead, it’s all about bold, neon colors like electric blue, hot pink, and even lime green. These colors pop in TikTok videos, especially when paired with a sleek makeup look. Vintage-Inspired Glam: For those going for a more classic vibe, vintage glam is making a comeback. Think Audrey Hepburn-inspired dresses with a modern twist—elegant, timeless, and perfect for a polished look. Budget-Friendly Tips: Not everyone can drop hundreds on a Homecoming dress, and that’s totally okay. There are so many ways to look amazing without breaking the bank. Second-hand stores, online dress rentals, and sales on sites like ASOS or Lulus are perfect for finding affordable (but gorgeous!) dresses. 4. TikTok's Influence on HOCO It’s no secret that TikTok is reshaping how teens experience Homecoming. The app isn’t just for viral dances anymore—it’s also where HashtagHOCO-goers find fashion inspiration, creative proposal ideas, and even tutorials for dance moves. In fact, TikTok challenges have become a major part of the Homecoming experience, with friends filming their best dance moves before the big event. So, what’s hot on TikTok for HOCO this year?
