TikTok has changed the way we engage with social media. It has become one of the most popular apps globally, but it gives you access to a variety of different content ranging from fishing videos to cooking or singing.
TikTok app is not just a platform for our time-passing entertainment anymore; it has become an essential income-generating option for people worldwide and a way of communication and sharing.
It’s a well-known fact that the more popular an app becomes, the more drama it will generate. With such a large fanbase, TikTok has always had different groups fighting for their preferred way of using the app.
TikTok’s popularity rose based on two seemingly different styles of content. One was called “straight TikTok” and mostly consisted of dances or comedy sketches. The other side, dubbed “alt” or “elite TikTok,” featured edgier and more bizarre content.
What Does ‘Deep TikTok’ Or ‘DeepTok’ Mean
Deep TikTok (DeepTok) is a part of Elite TikTok, also known as Alt.
Due to its specific, surprising and unconventional video types, Deep TikTok has become a very popular genre on the platform.
DeepTok has created many new memes trends and is most popular with the Gen Z userbase. One could also say that DeepTikTok specifically aims to use Gen Z humor elements.
The Elite TikTok is the cool side of TikTok and offers bizarre content that is offbeat from the mainstream. Users of this side enjoy sharing videos that are strange & unnerving in nature, and DeepTok takes this further, honing in on darker and more intense themes.
What Is Straight TikTok
Straight TikTok has been around for a while, mainly categorizing soul-sucking and boring videos on TikTok.
It consists mostly of videos that consist of lip-syncing, dances, and point-of-view videos. For new users, it’s easy to accidentally get caught in a never-ending loop of straight TikTok videos since the content on the For You page is determined by TikTok’s algorithm.
Urban Dictionary describes it as “mostly hype house, dances, and povs”.
If your “For You Page” is mostly Hype House members and viral dances, you’re more like Straight TikTok.
What Is Alt/ Elite TikTok
The good side of TikTok is Alt TikTok, home to punks, people who love music, fashion, and other artsy stuff, alt people and goths.
It’s easy to find funny videos with good quality content on Alt TikTok, and there’s none of that hyperactive live-streaming, verified creators or humiliation.
You won’t find any cringe-worthy or thirst traps either.
Alt is a separate group of TikTok users who make videos unrelated to dance steps or live a glamorous lifestyle.
They post interesting videos that are full of ‘unorthodox ideas’. The humour is at the forefront of this content, meaning it’s more enjoyable/entertaining than just attractive.
Is Deep TikTok Dangerous Or Not Suited For Children
Deep TikTok can be rather disturbing, especially for younger children. You might want to make sure that you monitor the content your kids are exposed to on Deep TikTok, as they may be rather traumatized by it.
Some users are taking DeepTok’s arrival as criticism of the app and want it to go back to being what it was before – a united community instead of divided into different groups & subgenres.
How To Get On Deep TikTok
To get on the deep TikTok, your best bet is to follow some accounts that already do this type of content. Follow, like, and comment on the video.
If you follow hashtags like #deeptiktok or #deeptok, your “For You” page will have content similar to what you find on TikTok soon.
Deep TikTok And DeepTok Hashtags
Deep TikTok users will often post their content under the “DeepTikTok” and “DeepTok” hashtags. You may find their contents under these hashtags.
