Oh, I see, i didn’t get it at first. If you’re not into recent trends it doesn’t make you elderly or sth, i had the same feeling even if i’m a teen, about various stuff, so whatever. Memes and trends nowadays don’t last more than a week (tho it seems that floptok is still going but it’s an exception)

I deleted my tiktok account, and I feel pretty much the same, I have no idea about recent trends or whatever, but I liked floptok and didn’t want to give it up just by deleting tiktok, there are still floptok communities on non-fediverse social media, but it would be cool if they existed on fediverse too. It’s also been quite long since it’s appearance and it still hasn’t died as a meme, i suppose.

lol what 😭

I tried to explain it in my reply to Varyk’s comment

These are various memes which eventually became sth like a subculture, mainly on tiktok. It encompasses for example Cupcakke remixes, jiafei and many other stuff. It’s also connected to expressive language, words like “slay”, “ate”, purple heart core (💜), and usage of sparkles (✨) and painted nails (💅) emojis. Flops oppose the so-called “Daboyz” which encompasses modern culture of young manosphere, fascist teens, geotubers, and gen alpha. The traits of Daboyz is the usage of incel slang like “alpha/sigma” and gen alpha slang like “skibidi ohio gyatt”, as well as characteristic emojis (💀, ☕). This, this and this video can be helpful to get it.
