Coachella Explodes (In a good way) - Summary of the Internet – April 20, 2025

Coachella just turned TikTok into an IRL duet stage—your FOMO has FOMO.

Hi !

Today in Summary of the Internet:

Coachella proved once again that the quickest way to melt the internet is by mashing two algorithm darlings together onstage. Meanwhile, Ryan Coogler broke the horror‑film grading curve, Tesla put its cube‑on‑wheels in the naughty corner, and Haley Joel Osment reminded us why body‑cam footage is the new TMZ.

👀 Curated by humans. Boosted by bots. Delivered with flavor.

One of these people holds a microphone like they’re royalty.

✅ Top Trends You Need to Post About Today

1. 🎤 Charli XCX x Addison Rae Blow Up Coachella

Charli XCX pulled Addison Rae onstage to perform their collab "Von Dutch" — instantly setting TikTok ablaze and reviving Y2K-core for a new generation. This was more than a music moment: it was a fanbase fusion of hyperpop meets influencer nostalgia, and the algorithm couldn’t look away.

🔥 Post Ideas:

  • Use the Von Dutch audio for a day-to-night transformation video.

  • Drop a Twitter thread on wildest Coachella surprise guests.

  • Make an IG Reel comparing each artist’s fashion evolution.

2. 🎬 “Sinners” Just Made Horror History

Tight.

Ryan Coogler’s vampire flick Sinners shocked the box office — not just by pulling in $45M, but by snagging an ultra-rare A CinemaScore, something horror hasn't seen since Poltergeist in the ‘80s. Film Twitter is euphoric. Critics are shook. This is a defining moment for elevated horror.

🔥 Post Ideas:

  • TikTok: “What makes Sinners different — 3 genius tricks Coogler used.”

3. 🧠 Haley Joel Osment's Bodycam Breakdown

He siad “wildlife related trauma” made him antisemitic?

Former child star Haley Joel Osment is facing backlash after bodycam footage surfaced showing him making antisemitic remarks during an arrest. He’s since apologized, citing mental health struggles and wildfire-related trauma. The internet’s split: compassion vs. accountability.

🔥 Post Ideas:

  • LinkedIn: “How NOT to apologize in a PR crisis: A breakdown.”

  • Twitter poll: “Can you separate a person’s past from their present?”
