Posting videos showing off her DJ skills, this TikToker has gone viral for being intentionally bad at the craft. Many creatives share their talent through TikTok, hoping to be recognized for their work and break into their desired industry. One TikToker who has certainly been recognized achieved social media notoriety after going viral for her unique DJ skills\u2026 unique as in really, really bad. TikToker Amanda Shultz, who goes by \u2018amandashultz_\u2019 on the platform, posts videos of herself DJing intentionally bad, and her fans are obsessed. Going by \u201cDJ Mandy\u201d, Amanda has found an unusual niche on the platform to capitalize on. Her videos show her mixing songs together on the decks, keeping a straight face as she purposely butchers every and all transitions. Occasionally even sirens, fire alarms, and ringtones make an appearance in her remixes. Each of her videos includes a request for viewers to leave \u201ctips and feedback\u201d, and not everyone understood that the account is satire. Some even tried to offer Amanda some actual advice to improve her DJing, with one commenter writing, \u201cFrom a fellow DJ. Too many effects. Way too many. I know when you first learn [you want to] use [them] all [laughing out loud] but just throw in a few.\u201d Another asked, \u201cIs everyone else in on a joke I\u2019m not aware [of]?\u201d (Yes, yes they are). Despite being sometimes misunderstood, Amanda has gained a large following who support her musical misadventures. A majority of her comments keep up the gag, complimenting her \u201csmooth\u201d transitions and choice of songs to merge. \u201cCan [you] add these on Spotify?\u201d one person asked. Another said, \u201cHere before DJ Mandy does a slot at Coachella next year.\u201d Amanda even remixes songs for specific occasions, such as weddings and funerals, and offers people to hire her via private messaging (she\u2019s based in San Francisco, for anyone hoping to book her for their next event). While her \u201ctalent\u201d is undeniable, one mystery remains surrounding TikTok\u2019s \u201cworst\u201d DJ.
