Content

The content found on TikTok is as wide ranging as one can imagine. There are videos for everything from gardening to arts and crafts to dances to acting to sports to pets and so on. If you are interested in it, you can find it on TikTok.

There are a couple of bigger categories of content though that are worth discussing. One of these is dance videos. Dance trends are extremely popular on TikTok, with one user creating a dance and millions of others copying them. Songs like “Renegade,” “Get Up” and “The Box” all have intricate dances created for them that other users copy and upload. It is an easy way for users to start posting on the app, as they have something specific and fun that they can duplicate and upload.

Another big content category on TikTok is creative work, like art and makeup. Users will upload time lapses or in progress shots of their artistic endeavors, normally to the beat of a popular song, and reveal their final work at the end. It is a great way to discover and support smaller artists, as well as come across inspiration for one’s own creative works.

One of the main things for any category that makes videos compelling is their use of sound. Users can take sound from any song, media clip, or other user’s video and use it for their own video. It is extremely easy to incorporate any song or soundbite into a video, so many creators take advantage of this. Videos are popular and enjoyable as much for the sound they use as the content itself.

TikTok makes it easy to find other videos that use the same soundbites as well, allowing for users to view other videos they might enjoy that utilize the same sound. For example, a creator might use a song to showcase a beautiful landscape, and other users might like it and use the same sound for their videos of picturesque scenes.
