this place is not a place of honor

no highly esteemed deed is commemorated here

nothing valued is here

what is here was dangerous and repulsive to us

this place is best shunned and left uninhabited


Ive recently started hearing about this tik tok thing and im struggling to understand what it is. Is it like a vine? Im also not quite sure what a vine is, except a short video. Do they all have to be dancing?

What gives

It's basically a site for kids to pretend they're in a music video. It's really not good.

I knew I was getting so old when so many comments in the youtube trailer for Call of Duty: Warzone had to ask what the trailer song was.

It was LL Cool J's Mama Said Knock You Out

It's this but she no longer has a dollar sign instead of an S.

They say Kesha once had sex with a ghost. But that's only a legend.

This site is full of old heads, so I'm going to assume you genuinely do not know what TikTok is OP

There's a bunch of boring merger and company history which doesn't matter.
All you need to know is that there used to be something called Musical.ly which was meant for dancing and lip syncing videos. Eventually kids started meme-ing each other on there, and at some point it became TikTok - to be honest it's all kind of a blur. There are still dances and lip syncing stuff on TikTok, but it the main appeal is humor which is why people say it's like Vine.
Vine was made a while back before TikTok, but it shut down a few years ago. Users would post short videos, I think the max length was 7 seconds or something, which led to a fuckton of funny videos that were easy to quote. After it shut down, people made "RIP Vine" compilations on youtube to keep it alive.

Here is a Vine that I really like

Here is a TikTok that I really like

TikTok is full of dances and phrases that you do not know about such as "hit the woah" and "sksksksk"



Boomers and television media are finally learning about TikTok, so the next thing millenials/gen z are gonna flock to is probably gonna be an app called byte

Yeah, and the "sksksk" thing is the noise VSCO (pronounced "visco") girls make along with saying "and i oop" while talking about Hydro Flasks and scrunchies

Hate all you want, but they'd probably have the same reaction to the thought of posting on a 20+ year old forum that costs $10 to join.

so many goons are curmudgeonly about tiktok, but honestly there’s a huge overlap between zoomer humor and goon humor. a lot of “lol nothin matters”. all the good original content comes from tiktok now before it trickles into the rest of the internet. goons are kind of like an alpha version of gen z, and y’all need to adapt or become (more) obsolete

Share some funny content with the rest of us then? I don't think anyone will mind if you post some good clips

Some of the jokes are good when I'm drunk.
I had an ex that looked like one of the mildly popular TikTok thots, and she got me into watching it with her.
It was weird, yes.
