Who is Hudson Mohawke? DJ goes viral for Cbat song, sparks hilarious memefest online
DJ Hudson Mohawke was trending on Twitter for quite a funny reason.
The musician began trending after a Reddit user took to the platform to claim that his girlfriend despised a playlist he had created as they spent their nights together. The story went viral and Twitter has since been flooded with hilarious memes about the producer's feelings when he realized why he was trending.
A Reddit user, who goes by u/TylerLife, posted a story two days ago. He claimed that he was initially uncomfortable in bed and went looking for music that would help him ease into intimate interactions with his partners. He said that he was advised to created a playlist which he was comfortable matching the rhythm with.
One of the songs on the playlist happened to be Hudson Mohawke's 2011 track Cbat. However, the Redditor revealed that after around two years of using the playlist, his girlfriend told him that she disliked the song and that it “turns her off in a major way.”
He said that he didn't understand why it took her two years to tell him that she hated the song and added:
“I pretty much played this tune every single time so the amount of times she must have not been enjoying it, when I thought the complete opposite is annoying but also embarrassing in ways. Not to mention my previous partners, however they never complained about the song so maybe it’s just her?”
He added that although the couple didn't use the playlist when they were together, his girlfriend claimed that he was "thrusting to the tune" playing in his head. She also asked him to stop.
People who read the story were incredibly entertained by it and took to social media to share their thoughts about it. Meanwhile, a lot of them were awaiting Mohawke's reaction to the whole thing.
