Why this one

Daler Mehndi released 'Tunak Tunak Tun' in 1999 as a rebuttal: critics had claimed his videos only succeeded because of attractive women, so he made one starring exclusively himself, multiplied four times by blue-screen, dancing through saturated backgrounds. The Daler Mehndi Music re-upload from 2023 sits on a channel with 85,900 subscribers. The video has 40 million views. Each generation of the internet has rediscovered Tunak Tunak Tun since the early 2000s — a recurring discovery artifact that gets sent around every five years when a new cohort of teenagers finds it for the first time. The channel is not collecting fans; it is collecting residue from 25 years of cultural compounding on a video it didn't originally build.
