It would be nice to create a community for flops here and on Pixelfed too. I’m pretty sure there are at least some of us on Fediverse, and it would be really good to introduce floptok members from tiktok into fediverse as well. Who’s interested in helping me with it?
never heard of floptok, what’s that?
These are various memes which eventually became sth like a subculture, mainly on tiktok. It encompasses for example Cupcakke remixes, jiafei and many other stuff. It’s also connected to expressive language, words like “slay”, “ate”, purple heart core (💜), and usage of sparkles (✨) and painted nails (💅) emojis. Flops oppose the so-called “Daboyz” which encompasses modern culture of young manosphere, fascist teens, geotubers, and gen alpha. The traits of Daboyz is the usage of incel slang like “alpha/sigma” and gen alpha slang like “skibidi ohio gyatt”, as well as characteristic emojis (💀, ☕). This, this and this video can be helpful to get it.
This post just rocketed me into menopause
lol what 😭
Just made me feel elderly is all
damn thank you I really appreciate that explanation and will check out those videos.
I understand half of enough of that to know what you mean by context, and you really tied a lot of it together for me just now.
I don’t have tiktok so I’m sure I’m sitting out a lot of cultural tides at the moment.
