iPod Shuffles have made a comeback on TikTok, not as a music player but as fashion accessories. TikTok video garners over 2 million views.
About 15 Years ago, the Apple iPod shuffle was a luxury that every kid wanted to own. Not just the school kids, the iPod shuffle was popular amongst the school-goer as well as the office goers. It had made the people ditch the bulky walkman and gave people the liberty to download as many songs as they want from the internet. However, with the onslaught of smartphones, the demand for mp3 players declined. So much so that items like iPods became fossils in the tech world. But now, the iPod Shuffles have made a comeback on TikTok, not as a music player but as fashion accessories.
A report by The Information revealed that TikTok, which is touted as a launchpad for trends, showed the iPods in a never-seen-before avatar. Several videos of TikTokers wearing iPod shuffle as hair-clip and earrings have surfaced online. The report reveals that not only the iPod Shuffles but other “retro” gadgets are also being used as fashion accessories on the short video platform. People are using wired earphones as hair accessories on TikTok. The videos with iPod shuffle as fashion accessories have garnered over 2 million videos.
