Welcome to the "weird" kid era

This so-called 'weird' era was a time where anime lovers, video gamers, and many others made it their duty to share it with the world! During this time, LGBT minors began expressing their sexualities openly, while others felt it was a great way to show off their creativity through drawings, outfits, and makeup designs!

Since 2024, users have been hearing that our current president was planning to ban the app. When it finally happened, chaos broke out! How would small businesses on TikTok make money? What would popular content creators do? On January 19th, the app went dark for 12 hours, then suddenly came back. Surely, there’s more to this, right?

Nothings new.. Or is it..?

During 2023 through 2024, it was kind of just... nothing. People were still doing dances, making music, creating silly memes and funny videos, but oddly, no one can really remember what happened. It was all fun and games until December, around New Year's, with a threat from a certain president..
