In my last article I talked about Fortnite and how it could affect kids my age (or younger, older too).
The next app in line is TikTok. When I first wrote about TikTok, I told you all about the platform, the app, and what it’s used for. In TikTok, there are many songs that you can choose from to mouth along too. Unfortunately, there is a fair amount of songs that have swearing.
Constantly mouthing along to TikTok songs creates a habit of doing lip-synching, and sometimes influences users to swear. I have a friend who was saying “Hit or miss” to random kids in school one day and waiting to see if they would answer. It made me wonder, is this a common thing TikTok users do? So I went and did some research. A website called “TechCrunch ” wrote an informative article on TikTok.
Close to the end of the article, I found the answer to my question; “They shout out ‘Hit or miss’ in public and wait to see who answers.” It bewilders me how much an app can influence people.
