     Within all of this we seek to establish whether TikTokkers have agency to ‘subvert’ the generic tropes of the platform, or whether it is subversion-proofed either by dint of its design or the very nature of twenty-first-century social media. […] A TikTokkers’^[sic] reward is something arguably more valuable than cash; it is popularity and approbation, or social capital, within the TikTok community. TikTokkers will frequently make a self-referential video expression^[sic] their pleasure at reaching ‘100k’ or similar. […] Usually, the videos are cut together with a different scene for each line, beginning with the TikTokker ‘tumbling out of bed’ in slapstick fashion. […] While it is not necessarily important, it is also unclear how familiar the TikTokkers and their consumers are with the entirety of songs used.
