The dance comes from episode four of Netflix's Wednesday, which premiered in November 2022. Jenna Ortega, who plays Wednesday Addams, choreographed the routine herself, drawing on goth icons such as Siouxsie Sioux, and performs it at the Nevermore Academy Rave'N dance to 'Goo Goo Muck' by The Cramps. The scene exploded on TikTok in late 2022 as fans recreated the choreography, with many viral edits swapping in a sped-up 'Bloody Mary' by Lady Gaga. It endures because the moves are instantly recognizable and easy to imitate.
