Followbait

On social media, the practice of following one or various accounts at random (or with shared themes, topics or interests) with the intent of harvesting a follow back from the target account. If said target returns the follow, the "follow baiter" will withdraw their own in a short amount of time.

Often seen as a scummy tactic to artificially boost an account/profile's follower count, ratio, reach and engagements. This course of action is most commonly seen on the likes of Twitter, Instagram and TikTok.

Followbane

A Melodic Death Metal/Black Metal Band originating in Kyoto, Japan. Allthough its very digital, it has an awesome mix of the fast Death Metal sound , with an Orchestra number at the very beginning and throughout the song in the backround. Especially amazing considering the band only has two members

Metalhead 1: Hey you wanna listen to Followbane.

Metalhead 2: Who's that?

Metalhead 1: Best band ever.

Metalhead 2: Even better than Cannibal Corpse?

Metalhead 1: A cow getting it's nuts cut off sounds better than Cannibal Corpse.

Metalhead 2: Yeah your right, put in the CD.
