Labubu, the mischievous monster character from Pop Mart, became a huge social media favourite through unboxings, collector videos and playful edits, while phonk, with its dark, bass-heavy sound, became a staple of short-form meme edits. Combining the two creates an intentionally funny clash between cute and hardcore, which is why clips like this spread through TikTok and Reels as background music for reveals, hauls and joke transformations. The format stays popular because it is instantly recognisable, easy to reuse and works even without any dialogue.
