Pet rock dance samples
A border collie in a black hoodie headbanging and hopping to the lens, and an orange cat and a pug headbanging side by side on a bed, each 10 seconds from original photos. In the collie clip it stands on its hind legs in a bright white room and whips its head down and up in the first second, throws one paw high with its head back at about 2 s, shakes its head with both paws up at about 4 s, then hops in close and ends on a wide open-mouthed grin with both paws up from about 8 s. In the two-pet clip the cat stands on the left and the pug on the right, both in hoodies on a grey bed: they headbang together for the first three seconds, the cat lifts one paw in a rock-on sign at about 4 s, they bob and dip their heads through the middle, and at about 9.3 s both throw up their front paws in rock-on signs at the lens.

Paw Up
Photo and still: GPT Image 2.5 Flare, 9:16 · still only · made 2026-11-09
The collie, the cat and the pug are AI originals, not anyone’s real pets or the poodle from the trend clip. Each still was built from the photos with GPT Image 2.5 Flare, then animated once with Seedance 2.0 Fast, 10 seconds, 9:16, 720p, with an original rock instrumental and no lyrics; it is not the trend sound. The Paw Up card is a still only, made with GPT Image 2.5 Flare on November 9, 2026. Last checked .

Pet rock dance FAQ
Where did the pet rock dance come from?
From one AI clip a Japanese TikTok account posted on November 1, 2026: a gray poodle in a black hoodie headbanging and hopping to the camera. A US tutorial on November 4 named it Pet Metal Era, and by November 6 the sound was in 4,764 videos.
What song does it use?
A hard rock track creators call the “rockin rockin” song. Your clip here comes with an original rock instrumental; add the trend sound in TikTok when you post, or make your own in AI Music.
Which photo works?
One pet, whole body in view, eyes open, sharp and in daylight. The face, ears, coat and markings come from your photo; the hoodie and the room come from the scene.
Why does my dog look like a poodle?
Copies of the trend clip drift back to its curly gray poodle. The still locks your own pet’s coat and body shape first, and + Name the breed writes it into the prompt.
How much does it cost?
The credits show on each button before you run it. Building the still costs less than the video, and you only animate once the still looks right.
