Good morning, fellow Rat Rockers. Davey Mac here and welcome to Is This Really A Trend? I will break down an existing Internet trend and question it…and probably question humanity itself. From Tide pods to ice buckets…we’ll hit them all.

First up is a brand new trend I stumbled upon on TikTok…where mothers are breaking eggs on their kids’ foreheads before spilling the yolk in a bowl. I wish I was kidding.. but alas…the video below is evidential proof.

 

Um…what did we just watch? I mean…at least 40% of those kids did not seem to like having an egg broken over their skulls and I can’t blame them! If someone smacked me in the head with an egg, we’d be fighting!   Needless to say…most people are destroying these moms on Social Media…

 

I mean…if my mom tried hitting me in the face with an egg, I’d block her arm, and take her to the ground!   Then I’d get her into a figure-four leg lock and it would be over.

Sure…I’m 45 years old and my mother is 80…but still…I’m taking her down for this surprise egg attack.  That’s what you get for trying to make me into an omelet, Mommy.

Food Inflation Continues To Increase With Eggs Costing 38% More Than A Year Ago

In any event…to all the moms on TikTok…please cease this bizarre Internet trend. Your kids are not cooking accessories…nor Social Media props…they are little, distinct, human beings.

Plus…eggs are simply too hard. Try throwing grapes at your child’s head if you must mix food and assault.  Grapes are much softer. And sure…I’m drunk while I’m typing this…but I stick by what I said.

US And EU Ban TikTok From Staff Mobile Devices

Or better yet…don’t smash food into your kids’ faces. Playing in the park with them or watching a movie or going swimming or virtually every other activity is probably better than crushing your baby’s head with an egg. I’m Davey Mac…and I am sad to be asking…Is This Really A Trend? 

Rolling Stones and 9 Other Rock Artists on TikTok

The Rolling Stones made major headlines in January 2023 with their arrival on TikTok with the handle @therollingstones.

The iconic rock band is the latest legacy act to join the popular social media platform. Along with joining TikTok, the Stones’ biggest hit songs are now available for use on the platform. Among the songs available are “Start Me Up,” “(I Can’t Get No) Satisfaction,” “Paint It, Black,” “Gimme Shelter” and more.

In addition to the launch of the Rolling Stones’ TikTok account, Mick Jagger has also joined. His individual account has the handle @jagger. Jagger’s first TikTok can be seen below and shows the singer saying hello to TikTok and playfully singing and dancing to “Sympathy For The Devil.” (Notably, Keith Richards joined TikTok in December 2021 with the handle @officialkeef.)

TikTok, of course, is one of the most popular social media apps with Gen Z, which provides many older artists the opportunity to attract new, younger fans. In June 2023, YPulse reported that more than three-quarters of Gen Z use TikTok. Additionally, nearly two-thirds of Gen Z use the platform daily. In fact, a September 2023 survey from the Pew Research Center found that 32% of 18 to 29-year-olds regularly get their news from TikTok.

On top of that, Gen Z is turning to TikTok to use as a search engine. The New York Times quotes Prabhakar Raghavan, a senior vice president at Google, on this topic in a September 2022 piece. Raghavan said, “In our studies, something like almost 40 percent of young people, when they’re looking for a place for lunch, they don’t go to Google Maps or Search. They go to TikTok or Instagram”

With all of this in mind, here are the Rolling Stones and nine other classic rock artists with accounts on TikTok.
