Bringing back the OG Indian Tiktok

The Indian TikTok era from 2017 to 2020 was a wild, unforgettable phase of internet culture. Known for exaggerated expressions, dramatic lip-syncs, slow-motion walks, and over-the-top dialogues, this era birthed a wave of “cringe” content that was oddly addictive. Creators from small towns found fame overnight, turning everyday drama into viral moments. From heartbreak monologues to shirtless rain dances, nothing was off-limits. Though mocked by many, it gave rise to raw creativity, meme culture, and desi internet stars. Despite the cringe, it united India’s youth in digital expression before TikTok was banned, marking the end of an iconic era.
