[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As a mom of 10 yr old boys this is all new to me. I googled VSCO and found some utube parodies which were quite humorous. But when do they in real life use the tsktsk and I oop?  Just out of the blue or as a way of identifying themselves to each other?  Is it randomly used?    [/quote]

I have to say it reminds me of the Jugalos and their Whoop Whoop cry. I love spotting them in the wild:)

[b]Tsktsk is supposedly the sound of typing[/b], and “and I opp” is a common, humorous meme that is sometimes used to express surprise or sudden change of topic.

Both of those things originated elsewhere and are in the wider pop culture. [/quote]

According to my DD the "sksksksksksk" is actually laughter.  Typed instead of "LOL" and actually uttered instead of laughing - often with a hand in front of the mouth.  Like "tee hee"[/quote]

It’s both:

'Sksksk' is a variation of a keyboard smash of random letters that people use to type laughter or to express how awkward something is on social media.

The phrase has more recently become attributed to VSCO Girls and TikTok eGirls but before they were even a thing, it became popular on Twitter amongst various different groups. While some people claim that stan Twitter originated the phrase (K-pop stan Twitter specifically), it can be traced back to the black Twitter community and, as reported by BuzzFeed News, Portuguese-speaking Twitter users in Brazil.

Basically, VSCO Girls didn't invent the phrase. People have been using it on social media for years but the meaning has still mostly stayed the same.[/quote]
