Lol. This is probably a good thing honestly; kids in my school are way too obsessed with TikTok and it's replacing the culture of a community within a school which is sad. TikTok is also pretty much a bunch of junk for the most part from what I've seen, outside a few specific communities.
“Wow listen to me, I am such a
sophisticated man of culture!”
“I’m not like the other kids!”
Sorry but I disagree, just because you don’t like it doesn’t mean it is “erasing” teen culture. I would argue it is now a part of it. Besides, you are a few decades early to begin complaining about “kids these days”
