![]() ![]() She's sounded like a ghost in the machine of her own music ever since, and this particular confection-spun to sugary perfection by producers Max Martin, Alexander Kronlund, Ke$ha, and Dr. "Till the World Ends," from Spears' 2011 album Femme Fatale, was borne from Spears' latest career phase-managed by a conservatorship that was set up following her highly publicized mental health struggles in the mid-to-late-2000s. There's a ton of subtext to be read into this endless trend, almost all of it relating to industry-based misogyny-and Spears has certainly been through the wringer when it comes to the myriad ways that the music industry chews up and spits out female artists. This article was originally published on NBCNews.Did Britney Spears invent EDM? Put aside the outlandishness of the suggestion for a minute, and consider the way female vocalists typically appear within the context of the genre-cum-marketing-term: painted on with total anonymity, not unlike the blank android faces in the faux-deep Will Smith sci-fi actioner I, Robot. "There's no amount of genius marketing that could do this," Mohawke said. Thanks to the viral fame, as of Tuesday morning, the 11-year-old “Cbat” also ranked No. The experience has demonstrated how random the internet is and how any song can go viral, Mohawke said. Mohawke said he's glad he's at a point in his career where he doesn't need to "scramble" to capitalize on the viral success of "Cbat." "I'm like, 'This is great!' It's the perfect life for this particular piece of music." It's a little bit silly, and I've seen a lot of people who are like, 'You must be gutted you must be really disappointed,'" Mohawke said of the response. "It was not an entirely serious song in the first place. Mohawke said if he hadn't released his new, critically praised album "Cry Sugar" just weeks before "Cbat" went viral, he might've been more sensitive to its reception. "A lot of what we were doing was a reaction to that and sort of the antithesis to that." "It was right on that era where dubstep was starting to become a thing in America, and it was becoming progressively more and more stupid and ridiculous and aggressive and sort of bro kind of music," he said. "Cbat" was part of the album "Satin Panthers," which Mohawke described as early groundwork for what would become electronic dance trap music. When Mohawke made the song more than a decade ago, it was intended to be silly, he said. He ended up responding to some of the TikToks on Twitter. I can’t hear this song anymore.’ And I’m just cackling.” “Me and my girlfriend are on a trip just now,” Mohawke said Monday. He has been glued to his phone since “Cbat” took off on sites like TikTok. The song’s popularity exploded while Mohawke was on a work trip in South Korea. Hudson Mohawke said people on the internet roasting the song doesn't bother him. you are not prepared for the song /MZTlNfFJDC ![]() Please read this and then listen to the song. "I don’t understand why it has taken her two years to tell me she hates that song, it’s a good love making song with good rhythm," TylerLife, who did not immediately respond to a request for comment, wrote. ![]() His girlfriend had only just confessed that she hated the song. In the post, he said he messed up by using "Cbat" in the bedroom with his girlfriend for two years. Redditor u/TylerLife posted Thursday on the subreddit, or niche community, TIFU. The staccato electronic song is best categorized as EDM trap music, which is why many online responded with confusion and shock when reading the viral Reddit post. “It’s not a song I would’ve put on a sex playlist, but kink-shaming is none of my business,” said Mohawke, 36, laughing during a recent Zoom interview with NBC News. His advice to couples hoping for romance in the bedroom? Don’t use his song. Now, Mohawke, a DJ and producer whose real name is Ross Birchard, is weighing in on the playlist choice. A Redditor went viral last week after posting about how his girlfriend hates his sex playlist, specifically his favorite song on it: Hudson Mohawke’s “Cbat.”
