TikTok Whiplash and Coastal Fisherman
after school weekend edition
Welcome back to After School Weekend Edition, a not-so-brief trends debrief for paid subscribers. Your support keeps this newsletter going!
Today we’re talking about:
The TikTok ban that wasn’t
High Sport for men
The continued rise of corpcore
Girls are already shopping for spring break (plus what they’re buying)
Plastic surgery having a vibe shift
Glossier superfans are furious
The scourge of “f*ck-ass” bubble headbands
Two new dating apps all over my feed
The “since we’re all gonna die, there’s one more secret I feel like I have to share with you” meme
Plus everything else that happened in style, beauty, and culture and what I’m buying, reading, and listening to. But first, my favorite TikTok of the week:
Tiktok failed to load.Enable 3rd party cookies or use another browser
Last night, I woke up on the couch, phone in hand, mid-TikTok scroll. Not the first time this has happened, but it could very well be the last, or at least that’s what I thought to myself after I tried to refresh my feed and got the dreaded pop-up: “Sorry, TikTok isn’t available right now,” the message read.
