Bad Things comes from Cults, the American indie pop duo known for hazy vocals, lo-fi guitars and bittersweet melodies that blend sixties pop with modern indie production. The track has found a second life online, where short clips of its chorus are reused in mood edits, aesthetic compilations and nostalgic short-form videos. Its appeal lies in that contrast between sweet, dreamy instrumentation and lyrics about troubled love, which makes it easy to pair with romantic, reflective or slightly melancholic visuals. That versatility keeps it circulating long after its original release.
