==History==

As TikTok has became very popular, it has also become known for screamers uploaded on the platform, reaching over thousands of views. Despite this, [[shock site]] [[1444]], a suicide video of a Russian user named Gleb Korablyov, was the first to be popularized by TikTok for its shock value. It has also started a DoNotGoogle trend, where users refrain from searching for any disturbing stuff on Google, mostly shock sites and videos.

The earliest TikTok screamer was [[TW-Jumpscare]], a video that depicts a girl doing a worm before noticing a huge thud from downstairs and someone knocking on her backroom door. Right after, the girl quickly headbutts the screen with a scream from [[wikipedia:Five Nights at Freddy's|Five Nights at Freddy's]]. This screamer is similar to [[Impossible Backflip]]. On May 19, 2020, a video without a caption or name was uploaded to TikTok by Russian user artem_mokrushin. The video depicts a woman sitting on the mattress and a man turning off the light, before she finds a figure during which the light is turned off. After being asked to do so, the man turns on and off the light two times, at which point the figure appears and quickly approaches on the screen. The video had received over 20 million views until a Twitter user, BenjaminBell, tweeted the video with a caption "2020 in One TikTok". It has since become known to be called by that name.

In June 2021, Mayengg03 uploaded a [[shock video]] that begins with a young girl dancing to the song "Dick" by Starboy3 before cutting into another video of someone being beheaded. The video was popularized after it was believed that the young girl in the first video was the one being beheaded at the end. However, the theory has not yet been proven, as many claimed the person in the beheading video was a boy, and the people were also saying things to her in Spanish as well. The name had become known after it was posted in a blogpost named "[[Duck Pack 51]]".
