Tik Tok is what made Sleep Token really blow up. All the influencers started using the breakdown in the Summoning for their videos and throngs of mostly women started latching on to them. Romantasy books, mainly ACOTAR, was also blowing up at the time and Sleep Token fit the narrative perfectly of a band that supports that level of fantasy. It really is interesting. My wife and her friends became fans and we actually flew to Toronto to see them at Massey Hall. It wasnt a bad show by any means. But the crowd was extremely diverse. It was also funny that they had Empire State Bastards open for them. It was great to people watch while they were playing. So many people who showed up for the lore of Sleep Token didnt know what hit them.
