TikTok’s algorithm adjusts itself depending on what state you’re in and the posts you interact with the most, so, after a while, I saw less and less stranded co-eds and 16-year-olds dancing to “Savage” and more and more Bon Appetit fan content and musical theater memes (hi, recovering theatre kid here). But the landscape is also filled with so many teens, which makes me feel icky and way too old to be here-like a grown-up sitting alone in the theater at Trolls World Tour. Because of my age (TikTok still files me under “mopey post-grad,” I guess) and geographical location (near lots of universities), my feed is usually flooded with college students making “You meet X kind of person at this ” comedy videos or choreographing dances with their unwitting family members during quarantine (bless those moms). But I’m a millennial, after all (or, at least, I consider myself one, despite being born on the cusp), and it’s no secret that TikTok is dominated by Zoomers. Trying to fill the Vine-sized hole in my heart, I, like so many others in my age group, begrudgingly joined the platform when quarantine began as a way to kill some extra time and maybe get in a few extra hahas here and there.
