ā€˜Stranger Things’ and ā€˜Big Floppa’ – the trendiest kids’ interests of summer 2022

14 September, 2022

A new Kaspersky study has revealed the most popular kids’ interests during the summer of 2022. This time data was obtained from Google and YouTube searches. Big Floppa appeared to be the most popular meme and the fourth season of Stranger Things, was the trendiest series of the summer.

Stranger Things took this summer by storm. According to statistics, the fourth season broke an all-time record as viewers watched it for 287 million hours in the week of May 23-29. Besides this, kids also explored new games, memes and bloggers. Kaspersky analyzed anonymized data provided by users of parental control software Kaspersky Safe Kids from June 1st,2022 to August 22nd, 2022.The data included search queries in Google and YouTube.

Hey, Google! What were kids looking for? Ā 

The most popular meme of the summer which was googled by kids appeared to be Big Floppa – one-fifth of all Memes requests (20%) were for him.

During this summer, 33% of kids’ google searches were YouTube-related, while various Internet services amounted to 18%. Interestingly, this summer kids were more into the creative social network site ‘DeviantArt‘ (6%) than they were into TikTok (5%). ‘DeviantArt‘ is the largest online community for artists or art enthusiasts, and allows people to connect through the creation and sharing of art.

Apart from that, gaming was one of the most popular categories – its share was 10%. In particular, Roblox became the leader with 33%, which is very far ahead of Minecraft (9%), despite its huge popularity among children. Another frequent search request this summer was Nintendo’s recently released ā€œPokemon Scarlet and Violetā€, which obtained five percent of searches.

What did kids search for in YouTube?

Stranger things

Among all the requests for ā€˜Cartoons, Movies and TV Shows’ (16% of all YouTube queries), there was a huge interest in the fourth season of Stranger Things. Children searched for not only videos related to the series, but also the actors and characters who played the main roles. This time, the most famous actresses were Millie Bobby Brown and Sadie Sink.

The popularity of Stranger Things also migrated to the music arena (music requests on YouTube amount to 16%). The most frequently searched videos that kids were looking for were “Chrissy, Wake Up” – a video created from clips and pictures from Season four, as well as Kate Bush’s track Running Up That Hill (1985) that one of the main characters enjoyed listening to.

Pink Sauce

The ‘Pink Sauce’ meme became an interesting phenomenon. It appeared on TikTok and was created by blogger Chef.pii, who released a pink sauce for food. There were some scandals around the product, and both the quantity of sauce in the package and the quality of the product itself were actively discussed.

Summer bloggers

In addition to memes, children were most interested in games across YouTube this summer – this category accounts for the largest number of requests – 27%. The most searched were game bloggers (35%) and bloggers specializing in Minecraft (27%).

Influencers who film various types of content like challenges or lifestyle got 20% of all children’s queries. The most popular blogger of the summer was Spencer X, who shoots music-related content. He has 2.66 million subscribers on YouTube and 55.1 million on TikTok

Anna Larkina

‘We regularly see children’s interests and trends change quickly. Literally every quarter there are new memes, movies and heroes appearing. For example, the creepy game The Backrooms was insanely popular this spring, and now “Pokemon Scarlet and Violet” is already at the top of the list. Keeping track of all the changes can be quite difficult if you are not a child, so parental control apps can help parents understand all the trends and topics,’ comments Anna Larkina, web content analysis expert at Kaspersky.

The full report about kids online interests is available via this link.

Here are some tips for keeping your kids safe online:

  • Don’t neglect to show interest in your kids’ online activity. Ask them if you can watch their favorite series or listen music tracks together. As an option, you can learn together some secure practices to stay safe online.
  • A good option can be a parental control apps. But it’s important to discuss this topic with your child to explain how these apps work and why they’re needed to stay safe online
  • Explain that sensitive information should only be shared via messengers and only with people they know in real life. You can be a role model and show them good examples of good behavior.
  • Spend more time communicating with your kids about online safety measures. Try paying attention to your own habits. Do you use your smartphone while eating or talking? Are your kids mimicking any of your habits or behavior patterns? Do they react in a different way when you put your phone away?
  • Make talks about cybersecurity more enjoyable and interesting by discussing them with your child through games and other entertaining formats

Celebrate Malaysia with Tuna and Saba Favorites from Ayam Brandā„¢

Tuna Wonton Soup

SHAH ALAM, September 14, 2022- Fishes such as tuna and saba have long been part of the Malaysian diet. These versatile, nutritious, and delicious fishes are prepared in various ways by different ethnic groups, always with the reminder to eat more fish because it is good for you.

Ayam Brandā„¢, a household name in Malaysia and Asia for 130 years, famed for its wide range of quality and healthy canned food that are preservative free and contain no added MSG, is celebrating Malaysia with their tuna and saba favorites in the month of September.

Why add tuna and saba to your diet?

Omega-3, a type of fatty acid cannot be synthesized in our bodies but is required for maintenance of optimal health. This includes brain growth and development in children[1], heart-protective benefits[2] such as helping to lower blood pressure, reduce triglycerides, slow the development of plaque in arteries, reduce the chance of abnormal heart rhythm and reduce the likelihood of heart attack and stroke[3], improve eye health, fight anxiety and depression, promote brain health during pregnancy and early life, reduce symptoms of ADHD in children, fight age-related mental decline and Alzheimer’s disease, and can alleviate menstrual pain[4].

Ayam Brandā„¢ Tuna and Ayam Brandā„¢ Saba are rich in omega-3, providing a deliciously convenient and easy way to add health to your diet and to your family’s diet. Young, active, mature or expecting, regular consumption of foods high in omega-3 can help build a stronger and healthier nation.

Ayam Brandā„¢ has curated a list of easy recipes from different local cuisines that you can try out as we celebrate Malaysian nationhood through food!

These recipes feature Ayam Brandā„¢ Tuna Chunks In Olive Oil Light, Ayam Brandā„¢ Saba Chilli, Ayam Brandā„¢ Tuna Light Flakes In Water and Ayam Brandā„¢ Chilli Tuna as used in Malay, Chinese, Indian and traditional cuisine.

Peratal or dry Indian curry has a thick, concentrated gravy as no liquid is added during the cooking process. It is a favorite in most Indian households, and at banana leaf restaurants too. Increase your omega-3 intake with this extra-spicy, super easy saba peratal.

Heat oil in a pan, sauté onion and garlic until fragrant. Add Ayam Brand™ Chopped Tomatoes, salt, curry leaves, cumin powder and coriander powder. Simmer until the tomatoes soften, forming a sauce. Add Ayam Brand™ Saba Chilli and stir on medium heat until well-coated.

Saba peratal tastes even better with a squeeze of lemon or lime juice, garnished with coriander. Serve hot with rice or rotis such as chapati.

Prep time: 10 minutes, cook time: 20 minutes, serves: 4 pax
