The world moves at a blazing fast pace. Just when you start getting the hype behind “Old Town Road,” another round of viral hits come and go on the social media airwaves. In short, staying up to date with the latest trends is tough if not outright impossible.
But, if you’re committed to staying in the know on all things music, memes, and pop culture, there’s a new app that makes doing so a thousand times easier. It’s called TikTok.
If you own a smartphone, chances are you’ve heard of TikTok, the short-form mobile app that’s taken social media by storm—and, to be honest, that’s kind of an understatement.
With more than 1 billion downloads, TikTok has turned into a force of nature, creating viral trends and sensations all over the internet.
From those classic “Here’s the Tea” videos to the gravity-defying “Microwave Challenge,” some of this year’s biggest hits were born right on TikTok. So, if you haven’t already created an account, you’re seriously missing out on these trends before they go viral.
With social media abuzz about all things aliens and extraterrestrial, TikTok has partnered with Tilly’s and just released an exclusive line of merch combining some of the app’s biggest hits with a fun, extraterrestrial spin.
Featuring fun designs of alien E-girls, Area 51 UFO blueprints, and more merch that is simply out of this world. You can check it out for yourself here and get the app, too, which is totally free.
