With tweets like, “if a twitter virus was an std, which one would it be?” and our “bare legs touching - on a flight to who knows where - why did i wear shorts?” we were left wondering how CreepyTweets had accumulated so many followers. And more importantly, *why* are they following this account? We interviewed [CreepyTweets](http://twitter.com/creepytweets)ourselves to find out. **How do u stay on the cutting edge of creepiness?** What can we say? Some people are just born with it. That, and we’re loyal readers of Hot Chicks With Douchebags, Look At This ####### Hipster, Rude Not To & Trend Hunter. **Can people get inspired by creepiness?** Two words: Michael Jackson. What is creepy to one person is only slightly awkward to another. Creepiness should not be avoided. Creepiness should be embraced as a state of mind and serve as a comfort to us all in the darkest of times. Check out our following and you tell us if people can get inspired by creepiness! **What are your plans for the creepytweets brand?** Do kids still use lunchboxes? We’d love to do a line of those. That or [launch creepyhaiku](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/instaroasts). If there is a brand out there that wants to align themselves with creepytweets, let’s talk. We’ve yet to take on any funding, but are open to that too. DM us @creepytweets. **If you couldn’t be creepy, what would u be?** An innuendo. Definitely. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.8/10 - Popularity: 70% | Activity: 65% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 30% men, 70% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Pop Culture](https://www.trendhunter.com/popculture) > [Internet](https://www.trendhunter.com/internet) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Embracing Creepiness as a State of Mind:** There is an opportunity for brands to embrace creepiness in their marketing strategies or product offerings. - **Controversial and Provocative Social Media Content:** Businesses can tap into the trend of creating provocative and controversial content to attract a significant following. - **Niche Social Media Accounts with Large Followings:** Creating social media accounts with specific niche content can attract a large and dedicated following, providing opportunities for targeted marketing campaigns or partnerships with brands in the same industry. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Social Media:** Social media platforms can improve or create features that allow users to explore and discover niche content such as CreepyTweets. - **Marketing and Advertising:** Marketing and advertising firms can offer their clients campaigns that utilize controversial and provocative content to attract new audiences. - **Consumer Goods:** Consumer goods brands can partner with niche social media accounts with a large following to create limited edition or unique products that are tailored to the followers of those accounts. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Curated Horror Subscriptions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-tales-of-the-weird.md) - [Social Bio Generators](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bio-cringe.md) - [Interactive Fame Countdowns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/thats-one-second.md) - [Influencer-Inspired Ads](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tomcat.md) - [Creative Online Social Networks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bf-island.md) - [Social Copy Optimizers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tweetfast1.md) - [Distorted Burger Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ailloween.md) - [Cringe-Worthy Photo Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cringe-or-candy.md) - [Unexpectedly-Amusing Treats](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/liquid-death-misfortune-cookies.md)
