Kevin MacLeod is an important figure of internet history

Kevin MacLeod deserves more recognition

[fgfofficial]

I kinda hate that Kevin Macleod’s music is labelled as “TikTok” music. It’s not. It’s done so much more for the internet than just TikTok

[alfredtyrefors]

Kevin Macleods music should not be labeled as TikTok music

[mimikanahd]

Kevin MacLeod is the untold legend of the internet. He is an inspiration. A true king and gentleman.

[Antluvstrains]

He is literally the most powerful person on the internet. If he copyrights his work, then most of YouTube is done for. He’s that integral to content creation.

[MapleMilk]

Dude's a *Youtube Legend*
He literally made the soundtrack of the service
I'm glad he's making at least some money

[ealing]

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.

Tiktok music? This guy made iconic songs for the internet before tiktok wasn't even an idea

[supermegabenji]

His songs aren't called "TikTok music"
Back then, They were Youtube 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.

[ReaperpwnX]

I love Kevin Macleod. What an awesome person, love all of his creations.

[_UPRC]

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.

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

[iZly]

the fact ive been hearing and using this mans music more than like any artist in the world lmfao

[celanimaddr]

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

[lightinabox]

bro is carrying the whole internet
also man wym tiktok this was our entire childhood

[gunnertheguy]

Alternate title: Meet the man who composed my childhood.

[KirboYT]

It's not just tiktok music, these songs have been used in Youtube videos for years, this man is a legend of internet culture

[doncomputer]

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.

The man should get an Oscar or a spot in the Roll and Roll hall of fame.
