As a stereotypically apathetic, cynical Generation X dinosaur, I only recently discovered what the bloody hell a Tik Tok was. As with most of these things, I'm not remotely inclined to use it, but if people like it, fair enough. I suppose I ought to try and summon some dismay that anyone pays any attention to these so-called "influencers", but I suppose it's no different to people wanting emulate the carefully curated public persona of celebrities in other places (film stars, pop stars, etc). In short, it's just the latest vacuous iteration of hero worship, and has the potential to be just as stupid and dangerous.
