Abstract:TikTok is a newly established social media platform with few boundaries and many new characteristics. Especially, this platform offers the novel and unique experience of having a TikTok blow-up, a rare occurrence that is not possible on other social networks with the same simplicity. The connection with thousands of strangers could, including new forms of social interaction could influence the mental health of TikToks largest age group, Gen Z. Furthermore, due to TikTok's modern algorithms, there is no literature on the impact of the new TikTok blow-up phenomena which allows anyone to get a large amount of attention and interaction in a short period. This study aims to discover the possible effects of viral TikTok videos on the mental health of its Gen Z creators.
