New TikTok Trend Is Moms Breaking Eggs On Their Infants Heads (VIDEO)

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.

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.

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? 

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.

The first few TikToks shared by the Stones have the band encouraging fans to create their own clips impersonating the band and covering their music. It a pretty clever way to get fans interacting with the account.

The Beatles joined TikTok in October 2021 to coincide with the release of the three-part docuseries The Beatles: Get Back. Since then, their account has been active with the addition of many classic clips of the band.

U2 joined TikTok in November 2021 and helped premiere their track "Your Song Saved My Life" from the film Sing 2. They also have no shortage of archival footage, like this clip from the making of the music video for "The Fly."

Stevie Nicks joined TikTok in November 2020 following the viral "Dreams" phenomenon. It remains Nicks' only clip on TikTok, but hopefully, more will be added in the near future.

Mick Fleetwood also joined TikTok as a result of the viral "Dreams" phenomenon, but he's actually pretty active on the platform. Some of his best TikToks feature him doing various outfit changes, like this clip of him lip-syncing to ZZ Top's "Sharp Dressed Man."

Pink Floyd joined TikTok in May 2022. Some of their latest videos are in honor of the 50th anniversary of their landmark album The Dark Side of the Moon.

The Godfather of Shock Rock joined TikTok in March 2020. In the years since joining, a bunch of classic Cooper clips have been shared, including this bit from his appearance on The Muppet Show.

The Clash's TikTok account was launched in June 2022. Perhaps this means they're the only band that matters on the app!

Def Leppard joined TikTok in February 2021. The platform served as a great place to show off some behind-the-scenes clips from their super-successful "Stadium Tour" with Motley Crue in the summer of 2022.

Motley Crue joined TikTok in August 2020. Like their tourmates Def Leppard, the Crue also showed off some great behind-the-scenes footage on tour.
