New terms are emerging while old terms are gradually resurrecting in the TikTok. The video platform plays a very influential role, ensuring that dances, songs and new terms can be on people's lips of any other concern. This time, what went viral was the term “dink” which, despite not being new, has been talked about more frequently now.
The term in English means “double income, no children” and is nothing new in the dictionary, but the generation of tiktokers have discovered it now and decided to reproduce it as something new, setting a trend. The term was first used in the 1980s, when the Los Angeles Times published an opinion article on the subject.

After all, who are the TikTok dinks?
The article talked about couples from the baby boom generation who did not have children and worked only to earn a salary, going on to define this generation as “dinks”.
Now, TikTok couples are sharing videos of themselves happily childless, really living life on paychecks and travel.
The article was not just a publication and it was a severe criticism of couples who refused to have children in the 80s. Today, this idea is normalized, although these couples still face nasty and baseless comments that try to define each other's lives.

Videos like these have become frequent to show the world that the presence of a child does not directly mean being happy, as there are other forms of happiness.
With this, couples demonstrate through “dink” that they may even be outside of society's standards, but are financially comfortable and happy with the life they lead.
The community of couples who don't want to have children has grown on TikTok and remains in a faithful chain to try to get around the problems that other people try to create.
