Why a 2011 Hudson Mohawke Track Suddenly Went Viral
Scottish DJ Hudson Mohawke (Richard Birchard) may not be a household name outside EDM circles. But his 2011 song, Cbat, recently experienced an unexpected surge in popularity, thanks to an unusual Reddit confession.
A Reddit Confession and Unexpected Fame
A Reddit user on the “Today I F**ked Up” subreddit shared a very personal experience about his sex life with his girlfriend of two years. He confessed that he lacked sexual experience initially, and to improve his rhythm, he tried listening to music during intimacy. His choice? Hudson Mohawke’s “Cbat.” However, his girlfriend, it turns out, did not share his musical taste.
The 25-year-old’s post went viral, sparking a wave of interest in the song, leading to “Cbat” trending across social media platforms.
The Song’s Unexpected Popularity on TikTok
The song’s unusual rise to fame, especially on TikTok, prompted many to imagine what it would be like to make love while listening to “Cbat.” The song’s unusual and arguably jarring sound has added to its meme-worthy appeal.
Even Hudson Mohawke himself has embraced the trend, sharing some of the funnier videos and memes it generated.
This viral moment provides a lighthearted contrast to recent events in the EDM world, such as last week’s Twitter drama.
