"You've got good taste in music."

The hum
Photo 2 looks up and hums a few notes. Photo 1 cannot stop smiling. The scene ends there.
What is the I Love the Smiths AI trend?
The line comes from the elevator scene in (500) Days of Summer (2009). Tom is wearing big headphones; Summer hears the song leaking out, says "I love the Smiths," has to say it twice, and tells him he has good taste in music. The song in the film is The Smiths' "There Is a Light That Never Goes Out."
The clip has circulated on TikTok for years. The AI version took off around 5 November 2026: people put two photos into the same elevator shot, so couples, best friends, crushes and fictional pairs act out the moment. Within days the top "how to make" tutorials passed a million views.
Most versions on TikTok come from a CapCut template that plays the film's original soundtrack. This site makes the scene from scratch instead: the lines are spoken by newly generated voices, and the music leaking from the headphones is an original instrumental, so there is no film audio and no song in your video.
