Yes, this thread. If you’ve been online over the last three days, chances are that you have seen references to this post somewhere. This viral this has spread like wildfire across the internet this past weekend, jumping across from Reddit to TikTok, where the song from the original thread is now trending. It has since been getting picked up and farmed for content by influencers and streamers alike who are looking to capitalize on the growing trend.
The entire thing started when Reddit user u/TylerLife shared a thread to Reddit’s TIFU subreddit titled “TIFU / My (20F) girlfriend of two years told me the music that I (25M) play during sex is weird and a major turn-off.” The thread went viral, gathering 120k views.
In the thread “TylerLife” describes the scenario he has landed himself in. Whilst in the early days of intimacy with his new girlfriend, this lad had turned to the internet for a helping hand in how to get things “going.” He had come across a tip that he should play music to set the rhythm and the mood.
“TylerLife” made a critical judgment in error at this point, deciding that his favorite music must be qualified for this task. At no point did he think of stopping to have a conversation with the girlfriend about this. (That’s going to be an ongoing theme here.)
There was one particular song, the one that’s trending on TikTok now, that TylerLife referenced in his post… Cbat, a track by producer Hudson Mohawke, that has sent the internet sprawling in laughter.
The track is best described as being inspired by serial killer clown shoes or tortured dying dolphins, and neither of those descriptions really do it justice. Check item #3 for the YouTube embed of this.
He made his girlfriend listen to this same track every time they shared a moment together for two years before she finally snapped. How she survived this long and how she literally just didn’t say ANYTHING at all to him about it is beyond comprehension. Seriously, have a tough conversation here, people.
The thread jumped across to TikTok with the help of a “Reddit Reads” account, where Cbat has since hit trending. Posts there have centered around just how in the heck he was managing to get his game on to such an absurdly awful song.
The original poster, TylerLife, has since posted an update describing his further logical failings and detailing that his girlfriend has called it quits on their relationship. This update thread makes up item #10 onwards.
Scroll on to give this whole fiasco a read-through and pass your judgment on the most abysmal “thrust game” in all the land.
