Cringe: Watch Gullible Fans Swarm a Prankster In a Knockoff Marshmello Helmet
“Oh my God, Marshmello!” That’s what passersby in a Las Vegas hotel heard as groups of gullible fans chased after TikToker Mordy, who decided to don a knockoff Mello helmet as a social experiment on New Year’s Eve. Surprise: the humans failed. Despite the visibly fake helmet—most likely purchased at his local Spirit Halloween store—they were easily deceived and hounded Mordy, who shared a video of his experience on TikTok. As Mordy saunters through the hotel, crowds of people quickly take notice before following him through the halls, stalking him like prey for selfies. As the TikToker quickens his pace, dozens of “fans” are seen literally running after him, abandoning their sense of boundaries as they throw their phones in his face. Scroll to Conti...
Taylor Swift’s Cat Olivia Benson Is Reportedly Worth $97 Million
Unless you’re part of a microscopic global percentage of ultra-wealthy people, Taylor Swift‘s cat has a lot more money than you — and it’s not even close. In a recent report by All About Cats, the 33-year-old pop star’s fan-favorite feline Olivia Benson ranked as the world’s third richest pet, with a whopping estimated net worth of $97 million. The ranking was created based on Instagram analytics, with many of the top-earning furry friends having climbed the ranks of wealth through fame on social media. For A-list animals such as Olivia, however, involvement in outside projects was taken into account. “Olivia has found success outside of the world of Instagram influencing,” the listing read. “The Scottish fold earned her fortune starring alongside her owner in several music videos, has cra...
Re-Development Set to Begin On Wigan Pier Nightclub, Once a U.K. Rave Landmark
After sitting vacant for nine years, development is set to start on the plot that once housed an iconic U.K. nightspot. Wigan Pier, once a rough-and-tumble venue synonymous with the boom of the industrial revolution, went on to become a popular hub for ’90s rave culture after the formation of Wigan Pier Nightclub. However, in the years since, new development of the area has displaced much of its former industrial roots. Once bustling with the sounds of bounce and house music, the club closed in 2014 and much of it was demolished soon thereafter. But the location where the club stood has been particularly quiet. Plans were set in 2019 to escalate development of the location into a wedding venue, microbrewery, food hall and residential property for eight townhomes, according to&nb...
Fatboy Slim and Eats Everything Are Fans of This 9-Year-Old DJ
Most DJs get their start on the graveyard shift. Others find their groove in the basement of a club or fraternity house. But for nine-year-old Betty Hales, also known as DJ Sunshine, a renegade set beneath an underpass proved to be her unbelievable big break. Now, Hales counts Fatboy Slim and Eats Everything as two of her top fans. The performance took place earlier this fall in Bristol at a location where Fatboy Slim and Eats Everything had planned to host a free party. But when police shut down the event before it even started, Hales and her parents saw an opportunity. They quickly set up a table and DJ decks, handed Hales her headphones and hit “record.” The video her dad posted of Hales playing “Bristol to Brighton,” by the two artists she so fabulously upstaged...

Vibrate to the Beat of This Drum & Bass Track Sampling the Sounds of a Dildo
If a sex toy company slid into your DMs and asked if you wanted to sample one of their products, what would you do? What any logical music producer would do: make a beat with it, of course.

Harnessing the mighty power of the “Bendie Power Stud Curvy Vibe,” Aiken hit the studio and recorded the dildo’s various vibration sounds. He then sampled them to produce a song, the end result of which is a hysterical drum & bass record. Scroll to Continue Recommended Articles “I wanted to push the boundaries of sound design ...
