An app that's an online talent showcase where users, usually teens and early 20s, post short videos of their dancing, singing, lip syncing, cosplay, animation, comedy, art, and many other interests.
There is a lot of cringe, shallowness, and ugly behavior on Tiktok because it's a human community, and that's human nature. There are also trends and feuds for the same reason.
But Tiktok is also the way that incredibly talented people, who might otherwise stay anonymous, get to grab the spotlight and bring others joy with what they can do. Every day, there are new videos posted that will blow your mind or make you laugh, no matter what types of creativity you find impressive.
A lot of people seem to find Tiktok irritating. There is sometimes bullying and stupidness in the comments. There is the self hatred many feel inside because they disapprove of Tiktok but still can't stop watching. There is also some jealousy when users wish they could be Tiktok famous but have failed or are afraid to try.
Yes there is cringe, there is cancer, there are vsco girls and sjws saying "abuse!" till it makes you tired, there are no-talent successes, and even the mentally ill using Tiktok as a safe creative outlet (sometimes brilliantly, sometimes not).
Tiktok is the good AND the bad of millennials and genZ on display, and despite the hate, Tiktok is a force of nature in the social online world where every last person under 25 (not to mention most other people) spend their time.

"Tiktok is nothing but weebs, pedos, furries, and my 600-lb life."
"Dude. I just saw you making a Tiktok in the front yard."
"I don't even have that shit on my phone."
"I can literally see the icon from here."

it used to be musical.ly, which was the equivalent of a terrorist attack on the internet. then sometime in 2018, it changed to tiktok. at first it still had cringy children, but then hit or miss became a thing. gamer boys then stormed tiktok, hoping to wage a war on cosplayers and furries. it resulted in a lot of (not bad) memes. then, after the huge migration, most people just stayed on tiktok. although it essentially created vsco girls and e-girls, it mostly has funny content now, and anyone that gives off musical.ly vibes is widely rejected.
in the end, it's not as bad as people think

A beautiful app where you can post weird videos for weird people to see. Formally named musical.ly btw. it consists of stereotypes, such as: E-girls, vscogirls, and soft girls. They are known for cringey songs and that orange looking guy Sebastian bails or something. Tiktok is getting taken over by middle schoolers and teens. THE END.
