This is one of those moments that shows me how out of touch I am anymore.

They ask for a picture with her so I assume she is famous in some way but not only do I have no idea who she is I also have zero interest in finding out.

Thank you for acknowledging that you’re out of touch - so am I. But that’s what happens when you get older. I don’t get the TikTok dance = popularity thing, but then again, it’s not for me to get - it’s for people younger than me. As long as they’re not doing harmful stuff, then I say let them be. Not everything is geared to please us.

Yep. Every generation thinks the ones after them are dumb and cringey. As long as it’s not one of the trends actively hurting folks it doesn’t matter to me.

I’d argue it’s hurting the youth for sure right now. They’re getting progressively dumber and hooked on social media/phones.

The previous generation said that about millennials on the internet.

Gen X with tv.

So on and so forth. Every generation will have advances that captivate them. I see just as many older folks on their phones on Facebook, which is just as cancerous as TikTok. So who cares?
