So What's The Deal With "Matt Watson" Blowing Up On Twitter?

MaxMoeFoe, Twomad and dozens of other big internet names have been spamming "Matt Watson" over and over in their tweets, pushing the name to the top of the Twitter trends. But who is Matt Watson and how come he's suddenly so popular?

It all started with American musician and YouTuber Matt Watson announcing the release of his debut EP "OUCH!" on Twitter.

My EP “OUCH!” is out now.
I’ve always dreamed of making music (before I even did YouTube), but was always too scared. I did all instruments, vocals, mixing, and production from my bedroom while locked away in quarantine. Thank you all for the support. Love y’all. ❤️ #ouch pic.twitter.com/gmXuvHrAJE

YouTuber MaxMoeFoe took it upon himself to make sure that Watson's new release does not go unnoticed, going above and beyond to make sure that Matt Watson becomes trending on Twitter. Starting with retweeting Watson's tweet, he proceeded to spam "matt watson" on Twitter hundreds of times across multiple tweets, with many of his followers and fellow YouTubers soon following suit.

The trend left many wondering who is Matt Watson. Watson he is an indie musician who solo-produced his EP – but he also has been a part of bands SuperMega nad Lazy Eye. But right now, Watson is more of a Twitter meme more than anything else, with many still keeping on the spam.
