@@SiIhou In TikTok people use millions of different songs in videos. Calling any type of music (unless specifically made for TikTok) TikTok music, is foolish. It is a completely irrelevant title which does not tell absolutely anything about what it is, due to the aforementioned massive amount of songs that may and do differ wildly from each other used in "content" on TikTok.
Kevin MacLeod is the untold legend of the internet. He is an inspiration. A true king and gentleman.

I found Kevin MacLeod's music on a VERY small, indie flashgame back in 2010 called Small Worlds. Then I started noticing his songs everywhere. Great guy.
This guy deserves way more credit 😂
This man deserves an award.

His songs aren't called "TikTok music" Back then, They were KZread Internet Art. Many people use it for Trolling, Reviews, Tutorials, Animations and Many More! Kevin MacLeod should REALLY get a award for best Music since our Childhood.
I use this guy's music in literally everything. Games I make, videos, D&D, etc. I don't know what I'd do without him.

Tiktok music? This guy made iconic songs for the internet before tiktok wasn't even an idea
No composer could ever have the legacy Kevin has, he has created the background noise for almost all media on the internet.. He could use his music for money but chooses the greater good of making the music for itself. All while never wanting to be known, the music is here but the artist remains unseen.. It feels almost criminal that his music has been used so much as it has and yet, we couldn't live without
The man should get an Oscar or a spot in the Roll and Roll hall of fame.

My man Kevin. You are the best.
He's done it all, From Meatball Parade, Wallpaper, Ishikari Lore, Local Forecast Elevator, Latin Industries, Pixel Peeker Polka, Monkeys Spinning Monkeys, Sneaky Snitch, The Builder, Run Amok, If you haven't heard any of his music you have never been on the internet. it's not one or two big hits he made, It's hundreds of big hits, each unique and iconic. Every piece of music I regularly find playing in the background of a youtube video I have found under Kevin Macleod.

If he wanted to he could pulverise the 99.99% of internet with just a snap. He’s literally Thanos.
BIG respect to him for recognizing the farce of copyright. It's only hurting human progress at this point.
He look as wholesome he is
he also made like, every other song that made a bunch of youtubers careers.
Smart guy
Love Kevin 😘👌
It's not just tiktok music, these songs have been used in KZread videos for years, this man is a legend of internet culture
Free and Open Source music
I mainly remember these songs from those Minecraft videos. Such as ExplodingTNT, Orepros...

Kevin MacLeod is canonically the god of free music. Gotta love his musical work!
This man is legend
He is literally the most powerful person on the internet. If he copyrights his work, then most of KZread is done for. He’s that integral to content creation.
I just wanna say, Kevin if you’re watching this, thank you so much for everything. You made some of my favorite youtuber’s videos amazing
Ever been online? Watched a video? Then I give it 50/50 chance, that you heard Kevin MacLeod.
If this guy feels like it He can copyright all his music and destroy the entire internet
0:44 once you make it, you don't own it. This is such an interesting way to look at creation and art. Art is its own thing that channels itself into reality through people

I'm very grateful to Mr MacLeod for making all those amazing tracks available for video creators to use. Actually, I have added many of them to my video poems: they describe the mood of the lyrics in an outstanding way
This guy is a legend. I know his lesser-known piece titled “Opium.” It is use in videos that refer Southeast Asia.
heck even if you charge once a year 10 bucks thats still 5mil in profit calculated from 500k users
I’d like to take a moment to appreciate everything Kevin has done for us his perspective is a real one truly a rare thing and I love this man for all he has created most inspiring man ever.

He's an internet legend
Finally, a video explaining who he is!
I have known him since I was very young. I am 31 now! Absolute LEGEND!
While Kevin composes the internet, I think the best project that uses his music is Battle for Dream Island, which uses a wide range of his music, many of which are obscure (as a bonus, the most iconic goofy tracks of his are not used, but that’s personal). In fact he voiced Pan Flute in episode 12 of BFDIA, which strongly adds to this. He is also releasing a BFDI vinyl as his “first merchandise”.
Kevin McLeod THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR GREAT HELP ❤❤❤
LEGEND !
now he voices a pan flute
Kevin is legend of this century
YES KEVIN!!!!
He’s ringtone and his face made me laugh 0:17

Thatched Villagers is so awsome! Thanks Kevin for your awsome scores and excellent musike!

I remember hearing his music on minecraft machinimas and stuff in 2016 and also like the green orbs's music
He is LEGEND.
Im happy you showed the dancing mouse cursor.
he carries bfdi
This bro literally made part of the fundamental soundtrack of the internet
This gent was our childhood.
The man is a legend! I will always value a human composed piece more, i feel the soul in it. I wish i could use a wider variety of music in my videos but yeah copyright, what Kevin does is incredibly valuable to people who create things
i literally came here because clean soul was so entrancing, trying to see who this man was. and then i hear that one song at the start
Kevin should really deserve a ton of recognition after making these kinds of music where most people enjoy listening to it
if we ever piss this guy off we’re all screwed
This man could literally be the thanos of youtube
Furthermore, may I add, he's extremely talented as a composer, if you listen to his songs and read their titles, it makes total sense. I mean, it makes you go like "yup... that's a scheming weasel"
this guy is literally the world's background soundtrack producer
Kevin MacLeod has the power to shut down most streaming services
The faceless hero of billions of online media consumers finally has a face
Thank you Kevin Macleod, you are truly a legend 🙏
Also the greenorbs need recognition

I love "Disco Ultralounge." How did you compose this piece?
He makes the great musics
