The band never expected to engage with Tiktok. Prior to Tiktok, their songs would stream on platforms like SoundCloud, Bandcamp, and Spotify. They never even expected to engage with Instagram. Eventually, it became their biggest platform. “We’re really lucky that people actually put our music on TikTok because we never intended to,” Shih said in an earlier interview. “I never thought one of the lyrics in our song would be a trending hashtag.

“We’re an independent band,” Morgan tells the Daily Dot. “We worked our jobs and recorded these songs in our bedrooms. The songs are really special to us, but we never could have imagined them reaching so many people.”
