TikTok trends are like the musical equivalent of fast fashion—here today, gone tomorrow and often not worth the investment. But despite its never-ending supply of cringe-worthy content, the platform remains the quintessential breeding ground for remix culture.
Just ask Madeline Argy, whose recent teary-eyed TikTok video went viral and inadvertently led to comedic gold for the global DJing fandom. With all the innocence of a startled squirrel, the callow content creator asked, "What the f*** do DJs actually do?"

It all started with Glass Petals, the dance music duo consisting of Felix Cartal and Johnny Jover, who pollinated the trend by looping and transposing Argy's voice until it transformed into the timeless melody of Benny Benassi's "Satisfaction."
Benassi himself went on to share the cheeky video, which has since garnered a staggering 80 million views on TikTok.

From there, the EDM community naturally had a field day. Fueled by Argy's nauseating naiveté, her original video immediately went haywire on TikTok and reached the world's biggest DJs, like Swedish House Mafia, who jokingly commented, "We feel the vibes."
That led to an explosion of parodies as DJs and electronic music producers assembled like the Avengers to remix Argy's rant en masse. And since TikTok's musical trends spread faster than gossip at a high school prom, we've seen some hilarious results.
Check out a handful of the best remix videos below.
