What is TikTok’s Retirement House? Viral ‘grandfluencers’ surpass 1m followers

Fans are absolutely obsessed with the latest group to go viral on TikTok, the Retirement House, with the collective celebrating their 1 million follower milestone after a flood of support on social media.

In the past few years, one of the most significant influencer trends on video-sharing app TikTok has been the concept of ‘houses.’ They usually consist of a group of up-and-coming creators who band together to film content with each other for their fans, often moving into an actual house together at the same time.

Groups like Sway House and Hype House include some of the most popular creators on the app, but with certain houses looking like they’re slowly winding down, it was looking like houses could be a thing of the past altogether.

But it looks like that’s set to change, as the viral ‘Retirement House’ is here to breathe new life into the concept with a unique twist.

They posted the first video introducing themselves on September 24, and they’ve since posted a range of videos that see the loveable stars participate in some of TikTok’s most viral trends, much to the delight of their followers.
