While thinking about Tweets as a genre or form, with its own exemplars ("miette" and "I will face god and walk backwards into hell" being my favourites) is started to think about what TikTok's exemplars are.
Lots of comedy sketches, of course. The format's good for that.
But, as somebody who's never favoured poetry, this short poem by OddPride sticks with you, I think
