I know what the teens like and they like TikTok. At least, that’s what I tell myself while I spend hours scrolling through the app. I might be wasting my life away learning the moves to dances I will only attempt alone in my bathroom or laughing out loud to riffs on the same joke, but at least I’m not aging out of the zeitgeist. Can I define the term “e-boy”? No! But I can use the word in a sentence sometimes.
If you’re looking for something to distract you while you’re on the toilet, something to make you laugh in between emails or something to fill the emptiness in your heart, step into my 100% hand selected, highly curated, TikTok movie theatre. Maybe this is your first video, maybe this is your 69th, either way, take my hand and dive headfirst into the world of TikTok.
Today, we’re taking a brief, but possibly horrifying, look into my psyche and my childhood. We’re exploring the country music memes of TikTok. One particular song really swept the teens by storm a couple of months ago, but there’s a surprising amount of incredibly niche country music content on the app! Take my hand and let’s get weird, but with a twang.
This is (/ was) a pretty big meme when I first started scrolling through the abyss that is TikTok and it always makes me laugh. This is maybe what the inside of my brain looks like:

And here’s some more:

I genuinely loved this song as a child:

Look, I’m grasping at straws with this video but it makes me feel so happy on the inside I’m going to share it anyway:
