TikTok’s Grandparents Prove Technology Is for Everyone
TIKTOK FOR THE BOOMERS
WHY THESE GRANDPARENTS ARE PROOF THAT YOU CAN TIKTOK, TOO!
According to AARP, about 11% of TikTok’s users are 50 and older. While some users just scroll through videos, others have gained a mass following that keeps them young and keeps us entertained. For instance, there’s @Grandadfrankk, who dances with his family, and even “duets” videos with other stars. He also makes his own dance moves to accompany videos of other people dancing. Throughout many of his videos, he adds a message of positivity and a new take on trends. Another “granddad” is following suit. @Grandadjoe1933 has more than 5 million followers, and his videos also include candid and humorous expressions of grief over the death of his wife, recovery from a heart attack, and supporting his granddaughter through eating disorder recovery. Others are sharing their wisdom. There’s @youwishiwasyourgranny , who posts guidance for those in abusive situations looking for a way out. As an abuse survivor, “TikTok’s granny” uses her platform for humor and encouragement, helping those struggling with abuse find solace.
Another account, @thekathyproject , is a video diary of sorts for Kathy, who has early onset Alzheimer’s. Similarly, @charlesmallet was created for Charles Mallet by his granddaughter, Basia Mallet, as a way to help him cope with Alzheimer’s. Basia helps her grandfather create the videos for his channel, which has become known for dances, cooking videos, and sweet moments between grandfather and granddaughter.
If you’re interested in joining TikTok, do your research first to protect yourself and your family.
