WTF?

The latest musician to go viral on TikTok is…Charles Manson. No, really.

For reasons that are murky for now, Charles Manson’s music has become a thing on TikTok as various creators use his music to celebrate the glories of autumn.

One song in particular, “Home is Where You’re Happy,” taken from Manson’s 1970 album Lie The Love and Terror Cult, seems to embody the fall season to an unusual number of TikTokers. You gotta wonder if these creators know what they’re doing. For example:
