What did TikTok used to be called?

TikTok was previously Musical.ly, where people would upload lip-synch videos. In 2018, a Chinese tech company, ByteDance, acquired Musical.ly and merged it with its own lip-synching app, known as Douyin. The result was TikTok, which debuted last August.

Welcome to Teen Vogue's Meme Week. We’ve cooked up stories all about internet culture, viral stars, memes, and more from the deepest corners of the internet. Last February, TikTok user Montero Hill, whose alias was Lil Nas X, uploaded a song entitled, “Old Town Road” to the wildly popular app. It started out as a meme that went so viral that record labels took notice. Eventually, country music legend, Billy Ray Cyrus, found his way on to a remix of the song. “Old Town Road,” then became the longest-running number-one hit on the Billboard Hot 100 and held steady for 19 weeks, dethroning Mariah Carey, before Billie Eilish dethroned him. It went on to be remixed several times with features by BTS, Young Thug, and Mason Ramsey. Initially, Lil Nas X had been promoting his song on several social media channels with minimal success, but the song’s catchy beat and hook caught on with TikTok’s community under the hashtags, #cowboygang and #yeeyeejuice. TikTok’s culture is designed for its users to help each other get popular quickly, so success on the app isn’t unusual or as hard to come by as on other social media networks. Ava Max, Supa Dupa Humble, and The BoyBoy West Coast are among other artists who have seen a meteoric rise to stardom by utilizing the app’s quirky conventions. “I found out about [Doja Cat] through TikTok,” Drea Okeke, another immensely popular TikTok user, also known as Drea Knowsbest tells Teen Vogue about the “Moo (B*tch I’m a Cow)” singer whose song went viral from TikTok users’ covers. “When there’s a trend or challenge, people are doing the same thing to the song so when you hear that song you know it’s from TikTok, and you want to go listen to [full] the song. Saweetie ‘My Type’ is a huge track right now [on TikTok]. People are making videos about their type. A lot of rappers are blowing up [on TikTok] and people love it! A lot of female rappers too. If people aren’t getting brand deals, they’re getting song partnership deals.” Drea, who has amassed 3.2 million followers since TikTok’s re-launch last summer, frequently uploads comedic videos and works with multiple brands like Chipotle, Peace Tea, McDonald’s, and more. The Los Angeles-resident credits her success to being authentic but also collaborating with various users around the world. “It's a global app so you can actually see the analytics and you can see where people are seeing your videos from,” she says. “It's so much cooler than other apps [and] it helps out with Gen Z as they're growing up. [They’re] not going to be so closed-minded.” TikTok was previously Musical.ly, where people would upload lip-synch videos. In 2018, a Chinese tech company, ByteDance, acquired Musical.ly and merged it with its own lip-synching app, known as Douyin. The result was TikTok, which debuted last August. By September 2018, it had surpassed Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, and SnapChat in monthly installs, with more than one billion downloads.

Should I avoid TikTok?

Is TikTok safe? It's as safe as just about any other social media platform. It doesn't infect your phone with malware, but it comes with some safety risks like scams and saved user data.

The TikTok algorithm gathers information about the videos you watch and feeds you more of the same. The more you watch, the more videos with that same content you’ll get on your FYP. Sometimes, this can be bad for your health. In the documentary TikTok by Journeyman Pictures, one user describes how she happened to watch a video that included weight loss techniques. Soon, her feed filled with extreme weight loss videos. This constant stream helped to fuel an eating disorder.² In addition to eating disorders, it’s easy to see how this type of algorithm can also be detrimental to those with depression or other mental health issues. One study found watchers may even develop illnesses (such as Tourette-like tics) by watching other’s TikTok videos in a strange phenomenon called “mass sociogenic illness.”³ And unless you never post a video on TikTok, other people will be able to see you. Not to scare you, but posting images of yourself can lead to bullying and other forms of harassment. That can be detrimental to your mental health as well.
