The trend
What is the Smalltown Boy dance trend?
The Smalltown Boy dance is a short vertical clip set to Bronski Beat’s 1984 song Smalltown Boy. It opens on two people in front of a wall, shot on a wide-angle phone lens. One at a time, each of them rushes at the camera, grabs their head and screams in an exaggerated close-up. Then the falsetto kicks in, they step back and dance next to each other.
The fun is in the overacting. The faces are pure drama for a few seconds, and the dance that follows looks completely carefree. The song has made the rounds on TikTok, Reels and Shorts, with cat dances and duo versions, and the two-person version is easy to remake with a friend, a sibling or a partner.
Smalltown Boy AI makes the remake for you. The fence, the wide-angle camera, every cut and every move come from the original video. Your two photos decide who screams first and who screams second, with their own faces, hair and clothes. A pet works too: it stands up and dances like a person, fur and all.
