      @@clursunny In TikTok people use millions of different songs in videos. Calling any type of music (unless specifically made for TikTok) TikTok music, is foolish. It is a completely irrelevant title which does not tell absolutely anything about what it is, due to the aforementioned massive amount of songs that may and do differ wildly from each other used in "content" on TikTok.

    While Kevin composes the internet, I think the best project that uses his music is Battle for Dream Island, which uses a wide range of his music, many of which are obscure (as a bonus, the most iconic goofy tracks of his are not used, but that’s personal). In fact he voiced Pan Flute in episode 12 of BFDIA, which strongly adds to this. He is also releasing a BFDI vinyl as his “first merchandise”.
