As 2019 is coming to an end, there have been many new fads that have came about. These trends spread throughout the entire world, and are still popular today. Everyone has heard of Tik Tok, and this app has sky rocketed in popular this year. Although the app was made in September of 2016, it  now reaches its glory as many people download it.
