TikTok 2

I wanted to find a super basic and general starting point. I found this article written in 2022: https://www.highervisibility.com/ppc/learn/tiktok-slang/ 

The article doesn’t have too specific of a point, besides the fact that tiktok language is confusing to most people. I found it interesting nonetheless. An interesting quote, “However, the rise of the social media platform TikTok has compounded this effect, generating new words exclusive to Gen Z and reinventing the meaning and usage of existing slang.” Another good quote, “However, our research also showed that many of these words caused confusion, whether it was users in the app Googling to discover the meaning of these new terms appearing or those outside of the platform that had seen these used elsewhere.” This is useful information, but perhaps not the most relevant to my point. I just thought it was interesting.

I have three more interesting articles that I found and quite a few forum posts as well, I just haven’t got the chance to finish reading them. I’ll keep you updated.
