The 2000s are one of those eras that you either love or hate, but we must admit that rock music used to be pretty epic back in the day. Comedian Erik John seems to agree and he’s taking the internet by storm with his hilarious spoofs of iconic 2000s rock music videos.
With over 40,000 followers on Instagram and 200,000 more on TikTok, John is making quite a splash on social media with his hilarious videos. He explores many different topics through his content, from movies to the American way of life, but we’re most impressed by his funny music-inspired clips.
From desaturated colors and a blue tint to strange settings and questionable “T-shirt over long sleeves” outfits, John’s clips don’t copy any video in particular but feature all the elements we remember from the popular music videos from the 2000s and beyond.
From Breaking Benjamin’s “The Diary of Jane” and Three Days Grace’s “Animal I Have Become” to Hoobastank’s “The Reason” and Creed’s “Higher”, they feature rock songs that we all used to know back in the 2000s, rock fans or not. In addition to being hilarious, his viral videos will give you major nostalgia overload, and that’s part of the reason why he became such a huge social media sensation.
