I really hate the TikTok voice. u/Ohhhhhhhthehumanity

The unending need to share everything on social media including their meals, their children, their partners everything. u/Aggravating_Boy3873
5.
Who is the audience for those videos where some dude with an awful haircut asks people risqué questions either on a college campus or at the beach? u/PhreedomPhighter
6.
Those dumb looking broccoli/ramen haircuts all the fuck boys are wearing now. u/GunNutsLoveDeadKids
7.
The public tik tok dancing. u/MiseryLovesMisery
8.
The Andrew tate style of misogynistic alpha male bullshit that so many young men seem to buy into. I guess I kind of get how they're susceptible to that sort of stuff, but the ideology doesn't really make much sense. u/Interesting_Pudding9
9.
Cosmetic stuff in video games, some of it is kind of cool but I don’t understand the amount of value people put on it. u/chadwickett
10.
As a teacher, I get enormously annoyed by the idea that it seems cool to be stupid for a significant amount of teens. Like being actually proud of lacking or pretending to lack basic knowledge or primary skills. Over the last 2 weeks I had a 14 y old pretending not to know who the figure of Christ was, a kid claiming not to know how to use a ruler and one who claimed to never have used scissors… u/django2605
11.
ASMR mouthsounds. u/CynthiaAAlcantara
12.
Fucking squash mallows. I thought they at least did something. They're like $25 a piece! IT'S JUST A PILLOW. u/TrickBoom414
13.
Prime - the drink. Simply don’t understand the hype. u/MurkyCoconut2156
14.
Declaring everything is a result of a mental illness. Sometimes people are just assholes. u/religionlies2u
15.
Vaping u/RescueGirl557
16.
Listening to the music on mobile speaker while walking around the street or travelling via public transportation. u/luchilu
17.
Social media celebrities u/Existing_Ganache_293
18.
Talking loudly with your phone on speaker while in public. u/CGB_Spender
19.
Long ass fake nails. How do you even go to the bathroom with those things without hurting yourself? They’re not even attractive. I don’t get it. u/curiouskitten42
20.
Roblox. To me it just looks like it's a game based on a Chinese Lego rip-off, but I'll admit I haven't really looked into it. My nephew is obsessed with it and plays it pretty much every minute of his free time. u/16bitTweaker
