October 31st is approaching… Halloween is coming and it brings with it an infinity of trends. But let’s not dwell on the most creative disguises, the most exclusive parties, the extra make-up and the scariest pranks. As we all know, the star of this period is the pumpkin. In fact, the real trend of the moment is about her, the #smashingpumpkins that has reached more than 273 million views on Tik Tok. But what does it consist of?

“This is your sign to buy pumpkins. Write your feelings on them. And then smash them.” 

It’s time to release all the pent-up anger, anxiety and negative thoughts that have never been said out loud. The video consists of buying a pumpkin and smashing it with any kind of object, all accompanied by the background of “Traitor” by Olivia Rodriguez. Many call it a kind of free therapy, a moment of venting. 

“You talked to her when we were together
Loved you at your worst, but that didn’t matter
It took you two weeks to go off and date her
Guess you didn’t cheat, but you’re still a traitor”
