My guess is that their father is filming and by such he is promoting this act to his children and 'inspires' them to continue.
This is how social media will destroy future generations.
Like that one time long ago I was out delivering pizzas in the sticks and some teenage girls stopped me and asked if they could plank on my car. I said no. 🤷♂️
I have twice now. There’s an overlook with a great view of my city across from my apartment so lots of tourists go there (locals, too). Saw three woman doing some dance but they didn’t seem to bothering anyone although you would have to walk through their camera shot to go down a trail. The other night I was at a bar and there were two drink idiots in the ladies’ room filming themselves - I don’t know if they were dancing for videos or just taking pics. I have never understood why people do that in public bathrooms - like, people are taking a dump in there and it smells … go back to your friends and have fun with them.
Was at the beach and there were some girls doing something for whatever social media. My own kids asked me what they were doing, and I told them to go play right behind them and ruin their pictures.
They eventually just left. Fuck these people.
Gonna answer you, Spotify Kids has a selection of music that is made for children. Think Wiggles, CocoMelon, Kids Bop for you older kids out there....it blocks a whole lotta content it and it's unable to play nor search for it. However, outside that feature (say you have an older teen or younger kid that is past the "children's music" phase) Spotify can offer other ways to limit content but it only blocks songs with "explicit" lyrics.
Although how one could see this song as vulgar, this song is not deemed "explicit" due most in part of not using words like (and not limited too) "shit", "piss", "fuck", "cunt", "cocksucker", "motherfucker", and "tits". The vulgarity is within the mind of those interpreting these lyrics as such.
my mom made my metallica black album vanish...that said I think it's really silly to hide stuff like this from kids...better to have those conversations and explain what is being talked about and teach them mature thinking about these things...engagement is a hell of a lot more effective than dramatic censorship.
At least rude boy is not meant to be a kids song. I love riri but she wrote “dancing in the dark” for a kids movie and if u look that song up idk how tf that’s a kids song
Lol, I remember jamming out to Candy Shop, It Wasn’t Me, Magic Stick, Peaches and Cream practically everyday after school. Kids are not thinking about the lyrics it’s just a fun song.
Exactly lol. I don’t think the song is the issue here. As a kid, I recall my sister and I running around the backyard singing S&M together because we had no idea what it meant but we loved the song because it was catchy. My parents never said anything to us because why would they have? We were innocent enough to not notice or care.
Yeah I don't think it's that terrible. Dancing to it might be another thing but that's a difficult thing to pin depending on how a child is dancing to it. I remember my mom not liking my younger sister watching music videos because she would copy the suggestive moves she'd see. Plus, I will say that suggestive music back then wasn't as overt as now (listening to 80's disco and the like)
Filming a clip of obviously underage girls twerking to a song about getting fucked by a man. Nothing inappropriate about that. I think the pearl clutchers might have a point folks.
I think it's time to maybe clutch the pearls a bit...
If my pre-teen was twerking and titt shaking to a song about a guy getting a boner... Not gonna happen
Seeing comments like this reminds me I'm not insane. If this was an Instagram reel the girls in the comments would say tweaking is not sexual and it's men who sexualise it. There's no accountability in my generation.
It's in Brussels. I'm ashamed to say I'm from that country.
They are either french speaking or Dutch speaking.
The names are more likely from French speaking part.So they don't probably understand the lyrics.and just found the music fun....
Musical.ly was bought out by the company Bytedance, who owns tik tok. Reason for it is because tik tok was popular in china but had trouble breaking out. Musical.Ly was their solution. They bought and merged it with tik tok.
When we stop validating it by watching and sharing. Even when you do it for negative reasons it still gets them more of what they want.
My company does marketing and I hate hiring young people now because they all focus on followers. But followers don’t translate to customers or revenue. They have no idea of business or anything bigger than social media.
From what I’ve heard, the algorithms for TikTok in America promote and reward this kind of behavior in children vs in China the algorithm promotes more intellectual accomplishments and entrepreneurial endeavors. I haven’t spent the time to verify this so take it with a grain of salt but seeing these type of videos makes me realize why the US government is going after tiktok.
Agreed. But also, what about the culture of creating constantly enraged and disgusted people? Because I fear that’s what’s happening to us. It drives engagement.
But this is also the dumbest thing I’ve ever seen.
In my town, we have a fairly large attraction that brings in tourists, and this happens every time I walk my kid on the bridge. Most people have the nerve to put their hand in front of me or block the entrance so people can't get past, trying to get us to stop and wait for them to finish. Like I'm going to wait in the heat that's in the triple digits for some failing tiktoker. I love it when I get scowls. It's a new kink of mine.
It’s not even just the public displacement. But clearly I’m getting old because my biggest problem is why is such a young child dancing in such a provocative way? I mean I did ballet growing up and nothing we did was close to the crap the people do these days.
Nowadays they'll call you boomer and say that if you see something wrong with child dancing like this, then you the problem is you and not them.
I can't remember exactly what post and what sub that was, but it was a video of kids dancing something like tango, you know, one of those really seductive dance. But it was KIDS. Fucking kids wearing outfit like adults, so yeah, the revealing outfits and dancing in a seductive way. And people were like "they're kids, they're having fun" etc etc.
You can't be right with those people, that is disturbing.
There are so many wrong things with this.
Such young girls, the male stripper movements, the song, the male adult recording with actual equipment not just a phone, the other person recording the guy recording and the girls to hype the content. I fear for those girls and the type of followers they're having.
Everything in this is terrible and a plague on society. As am amateur filmmaker, though, I can't stand how the person filming is always movie in and out. It drives me crazy knowing that it's always going to be just an image zooming in and pulling out.
It takes a special amount of ego to film the filming of a TikTok just so you can zoom in on other peoples faces and then claim anyone who glance even for a moment at what’s happening is either a massive hater or blown away by their creativity. The amount of insecurity and tweaker level addiction to the validation of likes and views gives me full blown “I’m an old man and I hate everything young people do” cringe.
Doing this shit in public provides it with a facade of “spontaneity” that you wouldn’t get in a studio. They think it will make it more appealing, I guess?
And for their next dance/song…….”Wet Ass Pussy.”
Seriously folks, please monitor what your kids are listening to.
Music is more than music. It’s brainwashing.
It actually made me feel physically sick the way they move. It would be hilarious to see them get talked to by a passerby like " wow that sure is a corny dance move, you make that up yourself?"
When I was that age I had a hard time going into public because I thought everyone was looking at me and laughing at me. I couldn't have even comprehended doing something like this.
Kids acting like this is disappointing. An adult videoing it is encouraging it. They'll post it and get their validation through likes from strangers instead of validating themselves through personal achievements like good grades, athletic achievements, etc. The strangers that are giving them validation will not always be people that have evil thoughts and should be allowed around kids, but the kids acting like this and posting it for everyone could easily draw attention from those that would do harm to them.
Yes, we were ALL sanctified angels at 12 years of age; we were definitely not singing to explicit lyrics; it's *definitely* just this new generation....🙄

This feels…Not age appropriate
It’s disgusting.

No, I think their parents paid the videographer.
My thoughts exactly
Is this a new pandemic?
[удалено]
I have never seen this shit irl
[удалено]
I mean, I live 5 min from a mall in a big city
Idk, I live in a relatively small city and I see this at least once a week on the beach.
It's stupid but that's what the beach is for... in a Walmart on the other hand is a public menace.
My favorite low key park in Chicago just got taken over by TikTokers. RIP
I live in the country and still see it often.
Like that one time long ago I was out delivering pizzas in the sticks and some teenage girls stopped me and asked if they could plank on my car. I said no. 🤷♂️

Was in Picadilly Square and 8 people were doing this, of course I waived at their camera.

Fascinating read. Thanks!
[удалено]
Yeah. Creeped me out.
Welcome to TikTok.
Welcome to Chili’s!
Sir, this is an Arby’s.
I've heard this song but never paid attention to it. Could I get a name or something to look up the lyrics please
Rude Boy by Rihanna
I read the lyrics... woooooowwww. Okay yea. When I was a kid my EXPLICIT LYRICS CDs were removed from my possession. Whats going on now?
Kids generally don’t have CDs in their possession to be removed
Well yes, not anymore. But my kids Spotify has a setting!
Would it actually prevent this song from playing? I know there is a radio version that isn’t explicit, but it is still clear what it is about.
Gonna answer you, Spotify Kids has a selection of music that is made for children. Think Wiggles, CocoMelon, Kids Bop for you older kids out there....it blocks a whole lotta content it and it's unable to play nor search for it.

Ah the old Carlin filter
Loving the list of explicities
https://youtu.be/SYkQIMMzZ5s This is what I thought of when I read your post lol
my mom made my metallica black album vanish...that said I think it's really silly to hide stuff like this from kids...better to have those conversations and explain what is being talked about and teach them mature thinking about these things...engagement is a hell of a lot more effective than dramatic censorship.
What black album song has sexually explicit lyrics? Or even innuendoes? None.
The point was that every generation freaks out about the next. Oh, and that censoring information doesn't accomplish anything lasting or of value.
I listened to song growing up but hell I never thought it meant what it meant till I found today.
At least rude boy is not meant to be a kids song. I love riri but she wrote “dancing in the dark” for a kids movie and if u look that song up idk how tf that’s a kids song
Lol, I remember jamming out to Candy Shop, It Wasn’t Me, Magic Stick, Peaches and Cream practically everyday after school. Kids are not thinking about the lyrics it’s just a fun song.
I went to a performing arts elementary. The whole school k-5 put on a dance to salt 'n papa "push it" we performed this in front of all our parents.
I knew exactly what 50 Cent was saying when I was 12-13. They know
[X] Doubt Most peeps don't listen to the lyrics or pumped up kicks wouldn't be as popular as it is
This gives me “cuties” vibes. I’m losing all faith
I mean to be fair, we've all jammed to songs that were very suggestive not knowing what it meant
Yep. Makes me remember being in elementary school on the bus, jamming out to Milkshake by Kelis with my friends.
Is that song not about milkshakes?
It is, they're just heathens trying to poison you with the devil! Repent!
I have a vivid memory back in middle school friends and I were huddled around circles during recess listening to Smack That by Akon
iirc macarena is very suggestive
True, but my "jamming" to those songs didn't include suggestively dancing to them at age 12 or so.
Exactly lol. I don’t think the song is the issue here. As a kid, I recall my sister and I running around the backyard singing S&M together because we had no idea what it meant but we loved the song because it was catchy. My parents never said anything to us because why would they have? We were innocent enough to not notice or care.

Child me listening to Brick by Ben Folds: Adult me listening to Brick by Ben Folds: :O
Rihanna is disgusting tbh.
Filming a clip of obviously underage girls twerking to a song about getting fucked by a man. Nothing inappropriate about that. I think the pearl clutchers might have a point folks.
Always nice to see The Pearls winning their division and making it to the playoffs. Edit: Guy said "clinchers" not clutchers.
You don’t have to be a pearl clutcher to know this is weird. Its weird, and the people who do it are weird.
I think it's time to maybe clutch the pearls a bit... If my pre-teen was twerking and titt shaking to a song about a guy getting a boner... Not gonna happen
It’s Cuties on broadway
And ad for Epstein
Seeing comments like this reminds me I'm not insane. If this was an Instagram reel the girls in the comments would say tweaking is not sexual and it's men who sexualise it. There's no accountability in my generation.
> pearl clinchers clutchers.
Better than *Squirrel Pincers*
Thanks for the correction. I’ll edit it.
It's in Brussels. I'm ashamed to say I'm from that country. They are either french speaking or Dutch speaking. The names are more likely from French speaking part.So they don't probably understand the lyrics.and just found the music fun....
They always have
i didnt know that about the song… mom should be banned
Who actually watches this crap
I think you know...
Never forget why they rebranded from Musical.ly.
Why
The whole platform was just pedos watching kids dancing as far as i remember.
So it was tik tok?
Yeah then they renamed it to... tik tok.
Aside from a name change, it's still an app full of kids dancing lol. Ala OP's video.
Musical.ly was bought out by the company Bytedance, who owns tik tok. Reason for it is because tik tok was popular in china but had trouble breaking out. Musical.Ly was their solution. They bought and merged it with tik tok.
pdf and other kids i supose ?
I will never look at document extensions the same again.
Welcome to the club, not so long ago I read PDF File in exactly this context and now it's just that keeps ringing in my head.
Pdf files
Paul F Tompkins?
Seems like something pedos would like.
They’re the reason why there always a new viral video of a baby eating fruit.
Us. Everyone in this thread. Our disgust is part of the plan, it’s engagement.
Well can we just stop it then everyone?
God I wish. I want off this ride.
r/noahgettheboat
Sooo target audience here is pedos?
Pedos and ragebaiting
Plenty of those in Brussels
Why? Kids aren't going to go the place brussels sprouts are named after.
Girls, go home and act your age. This is too much.
Mom, let me shake my cooter!
[удалено]
When will these people stop? So cringe and so fucking embarrassing.
When we stop validating it by watching and sharing. Even when you do it for negative reasons it still gets them more of what they want. My company does marketing and I hate hiring young people now because they all focus on followers. But followers don’t translate to customers or revenue. They have no idea of business or anything bigger than social media.
When they stop making money. They funnel their "fans" into affiliate links, sponsored ads etc.
Gross
Also keep in mind there was an idiot recording an idiot recording two idiots
I'm referring to the culture creating these attention-seeking people.
From what I’ve heard, the algorithms for TikTok in America promote and reward this kind of behavior in children vs in China the algorithm promotes more intellectual accomplishments and entrepreneurial endeavors. I haven’t spent the time to verify this so take it with a grain of salt but seeing these type of videos makes me realize why the US government is going after tiktok.
I'm not surprised. China very well be playing the long game here.
Yep, never a shortage of pedophiles, in fact it’s the opposite
Agreed. But also, what about the culture of creating constantly enraged and disgusted people? Because I fear that’s what’s happening to us. It drives engagement. But this is also the dumbest thing I’ve ever seen.
Who, in turn, was recording the idiots that were watching. (The NON-idiots disregarded the entire scene completely.)
Ah yes, filming a video like this being filmed. One for normal posting, the other for ragebait.
Just need someone to make a TikTok commenting on it, and then one commenting on that comment
If only i could delete this from my brain forever.
There is a way my friend...
This feels illegal to watch..... Am I gonna go to jail? 😥
I'm sure they'll be a special for us guilty beye association.
Right to jail.
In my town, we have a fairly large attraction that brings in tourists, and this happens every time I walk my kid on the bridge. Most people have the nerve to put their hand in front of me or block the entrance so people can't get past, trying to get us to stop and wait for them to finish. Like I'm going to wait in the heat that's in the triple digits for some failing tiktoker. I love it when I get scowls. It's a new kink of mine.
What’s worse is that they have a camera person filming the camera person.
It’s not even just the public displacement. But clearly I’m getting old because my biggest problem is why is such a young child dancing in such a provocative way? I mean I did ballet growing up and nothing we did was close to the crap the people do these days.

Fuck I hate how right you are.
Can we please just get rid of fucking Tik Tok already
Great parenting 🤦♀️
These girls look like they’re pre-teens.
Who’s the creep filming
So wrong
God aren’t they CHILDREN
Those are kids. Wtf kind of parenting is that. That dancing is so sexualised
Why do I have to feel embarrassed for them
We should all make a pact to just walk in front of cameras when this shit happens!
Is that a grown man filming children for tiktok? W t f
This TikTok generation is doomed.
We’ll…that was disturbing.
Somebody come get their babies 💀
But it’s the libraries that are grooming kids folks /s
Parents are to blame 100%
Every time I see something like this, my mind tells me to photobomb that. Multiple times.
There are so many wrong things with this. Such young girls, the male stripper movements, the song, the male adult recording with actual equipment not just a phone, the other person recording the guy recording and the girls to hype the content. I fear for those girls and the type of followers they're having.
Imagine if people took the time they waste learning these dog shit Tiktok dances and did literally anything else.
They look like they need medical intervention. 😬
Why the camera dude for these always just walking back and forward like they're really doing something
Creepy and crappy. Only losers dance on videos like that. Puke
Those girls can dance but look very young to be making such sexually provocative content. Am I the curmudgeon now or do you all see it too.
Everything in this is terrible and a plague on society. As am amateur filmmaker, though, I can't stand how the person filming is always movie in and out. It drives me crazy knowing that it's always going to be just an image zooming in and pulling out.
They're well coordinated, but that girl in the green shirt looks 12 and no one should be randomly dancing on a public street. Kinda gross tbh
The movie *Idiocracy* seems more and more prophetic every day.
two damn cameras its extra extra cringe inducing plus the song lyrics. now that I understand the meaning I wish I was the "One" in the metallic song
🤢
You know, I’m starting to really hate it here 🤷🏻♂️
We are doomed as a society
It takes a special amount of ego to film the filming of a TikTok just so you can zoom in on other peoples faces and then claim anyone who glance even for a moment at what’s happening is either a massive hater or blown away by their creativity. The amount of insecurity and tweaker level addiction to the validation of likes and views gives me full blown “I’m an old man and I hate everything young people do” cringe.
Doing this shit in public provides it with a facade of “spontaneity” that you wouldn’t get in a studio. They think it will make it more appealing, I guess?
Painfully cringe…. PAINFULLY
I feel like I should be on some sort of list for watching this. Very creepy.
I hate, no abhor, these fucking people.
TikTok has turned millions of people into self absorbed mental patients.
That man is a creep
Isn’t this dance a bit… provocative… for kids to be dancing to..? Am I being overly conservative or…?
Creepy lil narcissists
I am bored.
Besides the two dancing fools, there are two people filming this. Is it just me, the one guy filming looks older than them.
Why are children dancing to this
so damn cringe
Man’s really using a gimble to steady frame on a child’s butt. I’ve lost hope
Gross
And for their next dance/song…….”Wet Ass Pussy.” Seriously folks, please monitor what your kids are listening to. Music is more than music. It’s brainwashing.
They used to call this affliction the Saint Vitus dance. Now it’s tictok but it’s still catching !!
I'd walk infront of them
I don’t understand who watches/pays for these people to choose to do this:
Fuck I hate these people
It actually made me feel physically sick the way they move. It would be hilarious to see them get talked to by a passerby like " wow that sure is a corny dance move, you make that up yourself?"
I did a dance sort of like that in the same place but I think it was because I couldn’t find the toilet after having too much Belg Beer
Ouch my arthritis is acting up watching this
They alway bring a cameraman to film the cameraman filming themselves.
I would intentionally walk in between them just to disrupt their weaponized cringe.
And this is why I will never download TikTok, and am glad I never did at the time it came out
Yeah the worst part is the kids sexualizing themselves for internet cloud. So sad.
Thr society of today is truly shocking. These are kids. Let them be kids for fucks sake
When I was that age I had a hard time going into public because I thought everyone was looking at me and laughing at me. I couldn't have even comprehended doing something like this.
Kids acting like this is disappointing. An adult videoing it is encouraging it. They'll post it and get their validation through likes from strangers instead of validating themselves through personal achievements like good grades, athletic achievements, etc. The strangers that are giving them validation will not always be people that have evil thoughts and should be allowed around kids, but the kids acting like this and posting it for everyone could easily draw attention from those that would do harm to them.
Influencers are cancer yes i said it
I mean I don’t really see why this is an issue it’s just two young girls dancing and the people passing by don’t really seem to mind?
Definitely Aesthetics. I didn’t see if it was really that busy if a place. If it was then that’s a problem
Mmm. They did pretty well though 😂
I'm all for public dancing. It's the recording and posting it that seems really sad and weird.
Yes, we were ALL sanctified angels at 12 years of age; we were definitely not singing to explicit lyrics; it's *definitely* just this new generation....🙄
Anyways, just down there on the right is a small sweets shop that has the best macarons you can buy.
The fuck?
I'd purposely stand Infront of the camera just to make them mad 😂
WAIT.. SOOOO you allowed your children to be some porno for a PEDO.. JERKING IN HIS HOUSE.... COOOL
Wait, I already disliked this, how is this showing up again?
Mmm yes, sexualising a minor/minors my favourite🤮🤮
I'm getting the word.... NONCE!
How old are those girls and the guy filming it. He looks to be older
Why int he being arrested for child endangerment
When your kid grows up with electronics in their face*^
Actual pedos who groom kids
