About

TikTok Farlands refers to a series of absurdist and surreal memes said to be from the "TikTok Farlands," a surreal side of TikTok that is reached by doomscrolling for too long. Farlands memes are denoted by trippy imagery, with one of the prime examples being an animation of a Fat Bee Playing a Violin.
