TikTok is the latest spyware that all the kids are cuckoo for. You can see every kind of degeneracy on it, from prepubescents twerking in dishabille to fully-grown adults twerking in scrubs, although it’s still not as bad as YouTube with its vibrant monkey-torture community.
Every platform is pretty uniform these days; they’re all TikTok. Once the endless feed became the standard, it was game over for humanity. In my day, television used to turn into static and white noise at night, or at least infomercials and home shopping. There was an end to media. Now media is infinite and quickly taking over the natural world.
TikTok gets a lot of flak because it’s Chinese-owned, but that’s so racist, man. Nobody seems to have a problem with the FBI running Twitter, the CIA running Facebook, etc. I don’t recall the Chinese ever running a mind control program on the American public or assassinating a president. Still, I hope it gets banned one day because it is a bane of society.
The true source of TikTok’s power lies in its use of the lovely little major seventh chord. In our last post, we learned that Amazon uses a major seventh for their bumper.
The TikTok outro sound appears on saved videos. It sounds similar to what Windows did with their sound scheme when they softened all of their timbres years ago. It’s just begging to be sampled and placed in a phat beat.
First there is a deep bass around an F1 that bends downward (so deep it’s almost a kick drum), followed by an up-strummed E major seventh. The dissonance between the low F and the Emaj7 cannot be overstated. Why wouldn’t they just use a low E instead? I don’t know; I’m not Chinese.
These insidious sounds are probably heard billions of times a day. Westminster Quarters simply cannot compete. I believe they are nefarious. Anything played that much can’t be good. I like all the songs the CIA uses to torture people with, but not after the billionth time in a row. Yet like most people, when I discover a new song, I’ll listen to it over and over like crimson and clover. Perhaps all music is a subtle form of torture.
