I believe that the reason TikTok has become so popular is because of the video platform’s unmatched relatability. Sure, there are some creators who still use face-altering filters and effects.

But, the majority of influencers who have gone viral on TikTok offer a new level of transparency and realness that overly-edited Instagram photos just cannot compete with.

On the platform, we can forget about highlighting the shiniest or most aesthetically pleasing parts of our life. Instead, viewers love the comical, the unpredictable, and the tiny parts of our day-to-day that are rarely discussed yet so relatable.

Perhaps most unpredictable, though, is how one older man has managed to become the go-to creative content guru among young women.

Now, we don’t know his name, but if you frequent the video platform, then you definitely know his face. Posted on the profile @Xoxosyringa, one boomer has remarkably gained millions of views just by relating to the younger female demographic.

It is unclear who this man is and what relation he has to the account’s true owner– named Syringa. But his hilarious TikTok edits have taken the internet by storm.

One video, for instance, was posted just one week ago and related to an activity we all know and love– shopping.

The caption reads, “Me spending all my money the second I get paid,” and features the man hilariously lip-syncing a viral Lana Del Rey soundbite while surrounded by a collage of pink clothing, makeup, and self-care items.

This TikTok alone attracted over 1.8 million views, gained 286,000 likes, and prompted countless comments from young women around the globe who could wholeheartedly relate.

“Me anytime I have a dollar to my name,” commented one user.

“HELP, THIS IS SO ME,” said a second user.

Another hysterical TikTok that made the boomer ultra-viral discussed the all-too-relatable feeling after you finally straighten up your room, wash your hair, and settle down in bed to relax.

The video shows the man in a standard-looking girls’ room– equipped with pink and white fluffy pillows– while surrounded by hair masks and candles. All the while, he lipsyncs the lyrics to the classic Pussycat Dolls song, “Don’t Cha.”

Yet again, this TikTok roped in nearly 1 million views, gained just under 220,000 likes, and sparked even more discussions in the comment section.

“We are all the same on this app in some way or form,” commented one user who found the video totally relatable.

“This is so real,” joked another user.

The boomer also has countless other videos about tons of hot topics, such as watching hauls, trying to justify bad decisions by claiming it’s “for the plot,” writing off a shopping addiction as “self-care,” and more.

Who is helping the man come up with these ideas, edit the videos, and reach the young women masses? Is Syringa his daughter, niece, or somehow related to him? We have absolutely no clue!

All we know is that this guy totally gets Gen Z, and every single day, he makes us laugh out loud with his scarily relatable posts.

So, if you have yet to check out his videos, sprint to TikTok right now. You definitely will not regret it.
