What is the Smalltown Boy AI dance trend?
The Smalltown Boy AI dance is a two-character TikTok and Instagram Reels trend, often done with two cats: one dancer screams into a wide-angle lens while the other dances behind, they swap places, then dance side by side. It began as a real-people duet in August 2026 and took off as an AI cat video in October 2026.
The AI cat version was posted on Instagram by @bellvtrix.ai on 2 October 2026. An earlier duet by @mr_unvrs, dated 4 August 2026, set the same beats. Copies with other pairs followed. We quote no view counts, because they differ between platforms and we could not check them ourselves.
MimicZip makes your own version from two photos. A fixed template sets the backyard, the red fence, the swap and the final lunge at the camera, so you never write a prompt. The site is an independent tool, not affiliated with the original creators, the artists behind the original song or any social platform. The video does not include the original song.

What happens in a Smalltown Boy AI video
A 10-second video follows six beats in this order. Timings are approximate, and the 5-second preview runs through the same beats faster.
01 · 0â2s
Scream at the lens
The Lead rushes up to the camera and lets out a long, wide-mouthed wail with hands on head. The Partner dances wildly in the back, in front of a red fence.
02 · 2â4s
The swap
Hard cut, and they trade places. Now the Partner wails into the lens while the Lead dances behind.
03 · 4â6s
Side by side
Both stand in front of the fence and dance in sync, swinging their arms and bouncing to the beat.
04 · 6â7s
Low angle
Hard cut to a camera on the grass, looking up at both of them dancing against the blue sky.
05 · 7â9s
Lunge for the phone
Both lunge toward the camera together and reach out as if to grab it.
06 · 9â10s
Faces fill the frame
The clip ends with both faces filling the picture.
Your photos decide who is the Lead and who is the Partner. The scene and the order of the shots are fixed, and every result comes out a little different. Pets stand and dance upright on their hind legs.

What song is the Smalltown Boy AI dance, and is it in my video?
The trend is usually posted with âSmalltown Boyâ by Bronski Beat (1984). Our video does not include the original song. MimicZip generates its own retro synth-pop backing, and you add the trending sound inside TikTok or Instagram when you post.
What does the video sound like?
The full video has an AI-generated retro 1980s-style synth-pop backing with no lyrics, plus the charactersâ own comic wails: a cat yowls, a dog howls, a person says âoooohâ. You can also download a version without sound.
Is there a watermark, and can I post it on TikTok or Reels?
No watermark on the preview or the full video. Yes, you can post it: it is made for 9:16, and you add the trending sound in the app. Keep the platformâs AI-generated label on.
Is this connected to the original creators or the songâs artists?
No. MimicZip is an independent AI tool with no link to the people who posted the original dance, the artists behind the song, Instagram or TikTok. It makes new videos from your photos and uses no original footage.
What if a video fails, and how long are my photos kept?
A failed generation returns its credits automatically, and unused packs can be refunded within 7 days; see the refund policy. Photos are stored privately and deleted automatically 14 days after upload. The privacy policy has the details.
