Tweets about fall are filled with excitement.

People can’t wait for fall, and their anticipation is palpable. In the past month, there’s been a huge increase in “can’t wait for fall” Tweets (+112% in July 2021 vs. June 2021).¹ And for the most part, the growth in Tweets of excitement comes along with a rise in positive sentiment compared to last year.

And of course, back-to-school conversations.

There’s a surge in back-to-school conversations happening on Twitter. In July, there were 2.3x more back-to-school mentions than the 2021 average.² And despite the evolving conversation, people are feeling good about this topic.

Parents are gearing up for in-class learning.

Compared to last year, topics like clothing and hair have grown within the back-to-school conversation, while others like homeschooling have seen a dip in popularity. Based on these trends, it seems parents are preparing for in-class learning in September.

But it’s not only about school. It’s back to the office, too.

After a long period of working from home for many, a possible return to the office is something people are thinking (and Tweeting) about. Conversations around returning to the office are growing.⁴

With work comes play … and the return of fall sports.

Taking a step out of the home office and towards a popular pastime, autumn also brings the return of some major sports. There was an +80% increase in Tweets (YoY) related to "football anticipation."⁵  Meanwhile, subtopics within the football conversation are growing as well.
