In a groundbreaking announcement that’s shaken the very foundations of adult sanity, 11-year-old trend expert Tommy W. has declared anyone over the age of 25 “completely out of touch” for not following the latest TikTok craze. Tommy, who has neither bills, responsibilities, nor a mortgage to worry about, was reportedly baffled when his aunt didn’t immediately recognize the choreography from the “Glitchy Grandma” challenge, which he described as “the single most important thing happening right now.”
According to Tommy, whose life experience mostly revolves around snack time and Fortnite, the viral trend, which involves doing three backflips while lip-syncing to a sped-up remix of Baby Shark with glitchy VHS effects, is “like, really easy.” He followed this claim by stating that anyone not participating is “basically a caveman.”
“I don’t understand why old people just can’t get with the program,” Tommy explained, as he finished a Capri Sun in one sip. “It’s not that hard. You just need to dedicate six hours a day to practicing, filming, and editing. Boom. Now you’re cool.”
The Youth-Driven Cultural Shift
This TikTok trend, like many before it, is just another in a long line of inexplicable online phenomena that has captivated a generation completely detached from the realities of adulthood. Sources close to Tommy say he has mastered at least 50 other TikTok trends, though his greatest challenge remains the mysterious concept of “doing his homework on time.” Despite this, Tommy is firm in his belief that anyone who isn’t part of the Glitchy Grandma movement is “failing at life.”
“It’s like, if you’re not doing this TikTok challenge, why are you even alive? What do you do all day? Work? Pffft, that’s so cringe,” Tommy scoffed while not wearing any socks for no discernible reason.
A Trend Older People Just Don’t Get
As the latest generation dives deeper into trends that require more editing software than common sense, adults everywhere are left scratching their heads and wondering why they spent years in school and work, only to be outclassed by a middle-schooler with 32 TikTok filters and a ring light.
Tommy’s parents, who at this point are entirely used to being called “lame” on a daily basis, admit they can’t keep up. “I try to stay hip,” Tommy’s dad, Steve W., confessed while looking up what ‘hip’ means on Urban Dictionary. “But I don’t even know what a ‘TikTok’ is. I thought it was a clock sound.”
However, Tommy insists that his elder relatives and basically everyone over 20 are missing out on “the most important moment of the decade.” This is presumably right before he failed his science quiz, citing his teacher as “not even being verified on social media.”
As Tommy W. continues to question his elders’ choices in life, the rest of us are left to wonder how long we can pretend that understanding taxes is more important than mastering a dance routine with 50 million views. For now, it seems the Glitchy Grandma challenge is here to stay—at least until next week, when a new viral trend will likely emerge, leaving us all, once again, hopelessly uncool.
