Comment on As someone who is aging. Late thirties. How can I keep my finger on the pulse of current trends, particularly in music?

  Which I think is TikTok and I really don’t need that temptation of getting sucked into more short form videos. I lack the self control.

  Perhaps I’ll take a look at kick as I’ve seen some other current trends getting traction on kick. Not necessarily legal but people doing shit like Squeeze Benz, swimming through traffic like a maniac.

    TikTok has already succumbed to the Olds invading.

    That’s why I thought it was hilarious that the US government wants to “ban” TikTok after it’s on the decline with the youth. TikTok at this point is mainly millennials hanging out, trying to find what cool stuff the youth are into.

    Wherever the cool kids are hanging out, by the time we find out about it, they’re mostly going to have moved on to something else.

    An alternative would be pop culture recaps on YouTube lol, I’ve done that during busy months sometimes. I’ve never heard of kick so maybe I’m not as caught up as I thought

    Kick the streaming platform? All I know about Kick is the gambling, banned Twitch streamers, and the homophobic whackos like Adin Ross that seem to be supported by the platform. I am steering clear until they fix their reputation. If they fix it.
