This week the internet has been stuck in a nostalgia loop. "Gangnam Style" is making a comeback on TikTok (albeit as a backdrop for people to share their trauma about cheating boyfriends and being almost-murdered). Pete Davidson is getting branded with his girlfriend's name, again. And TikTok is replete with rumors of Hilary and Haylie Duff, your favorite early-aughts Disney tween sibling stars, being enmeshed in a feud, for possible reasons that Brittany and Ej rehash this week at an exhausting length. Is it politics? In-law drama? Related to the 2006 classic Material Girls? We simply don't know, but we're sure gonna speculate at length to try to find out! Plus, we once crown a pair of hot dumb twins as Himbos of the Week (who thankfully, unlike other TikTok twins, do not pretend to kiss for clout).
Don’t Let This Flop is a weekly podcast from Rolling Stone, centered around a roundup of this week in TikTok trends and memes, from dances to recipes to makeup challenges to creepy viral videos to celebrity videos to grassroots campaigns intended to raise awareness of social issues. Join hosts Brittany Spanos and EJ Dickson as they unpack their significance, with special guests to break down the latest trends in TikTok. Some of these stories will be silly; some will be more serious. All will have wider implications outside the world of TikTok.
