TikTok is a social media platform that allows users to create and share short-form videos, typically set to music. It has become increasingly popular among younger audiences, with over 800 million active users worldwide. The app's algorithmic feed shows users content that is tailored to their interests and behavior, making it an addictive and highly engaging platform. TikTok has also become a hub for creativity and self-expression, with users often showcasing their talent in music, dance, and comedy. The app has also faced controversy over its handling of user data and potential security risks, leading to calls for greater regulation and oversight. Despite these concerns, TikTok remains one of the most popular social media platforms in the world today, with a growing influence on modern youth culture.

Since its acquisition and rebranding in 2018, TikTok has become one of the fastest growing platforms in the world. Moreover, it's the first Chinese-developed platform to find mainstream international success, carving its own niche in the global short video industry. In the first comprehensive exploration of TikTok, Kaye, Zeng, and Wikström provide a history of the emergent genre of short video and situate the platform within the cultures and controversies that have accompanied its dramatic growth. They provide an extensive overview of TikTok's functions and uses, the diverse markets in which the platform operates, and the issues of governance that have impacted its expansion. Once thought to be 'just for kids', the authors illustrate how TikTok is further transforming platform cultures and the dynamics of broader creative industries. TikTok, the authors argue, represents an evolutionary step in the way culture is produced and consumed on digital platforms. This timely book is essential reading for students and scholars in media and communication studies and for anyone who has been captivated by the global growth of TikTok and short video.
