DEEP DIVE

#CursedPhotos on TikTok is a compilation of pictures from TikTok users that they would be embarrassed to share on their social media platforms, but the hashtag gives them a safe space to feel silly. The hashtag has over 3.5 million views on TikTok and the anthem used in these short-form videos is an original TikTok song by “Rhythm Thief But Cursed.”

Unlike cursed images seen on Reddit, these TikToks aren’t meant to be disturbing or creepy but fun and enjoyable for both creators and viewers.
