JAKARTA - TikTok is responsible for many rock and metal songs that have gone viral over the past few years, and now, it seems that it's Slipknot's turn.

One of the band's old songs had a moment on the video platform, and this is also not the first time this has happened.

If you look at the page of the Slipknot artist on Spotify, you'll see Duality, Psychosocial, Wait and Bleed, and Before IForget each as their Top 4 songs.

The next song to be shown was Cluster from their 2014 album.5: The Grey Chapter, although it wasn't the fifth most played song.

Snuff, The Devil in I, and Unsainted all had a higher number of streams, but Custer was ranked higher because of the popularity he had gained over the past year.

A Slipknot fan at Reddit actually showed that Custer experienced a surge in popularity in June 2022.

The commentators show that the song has been used in many "thirst trap" videos [types of social media posts meant to lure viewers sexually] on TikTok, which may be the cause of bringing more people there.

In August this year, another user on Reddit Slipknot asked, "What's up with girlypop things?" Apparently, a trend started when two girls danced to the song Cluster on TikTok and captioned, "Slipknot is very girly pop."

It is not yet certain whether this is the same trend as the "thirst trap" video that people referred to last year. However, regardless, if you open TikTok and search for your own song, you will see various kinds of dance videos where people use Custer as his music.

People also use Custer as background music for various Kpop dances, Macarena, twerking, and more.

It's time for the whole world to be exposed to Slipknot. Welcome!
