The Funkytown video, often referred to as Funkytown gore to differentiate it from other content, first surfaced on kaotic.com on September 26, 2016. A user with the handle "pinkfloyd" uploaded it with the chilling title "shocking: Rival gang member flayed tortured and beheaded." It quickly gained notoriety for its graphic depiction of extreme violence, solidifying its place in the annals of disturbing online content.
