streaming party
/ˈstriː.mɪŋ ˌpɑːr.ti/
CommonA coordinated fandom event where fans mass-stream a music video or song to boost chart numbers.
Often comes with detailed how-to guides to maximize counted streams (VPN use, incognito tabs, letting ads run). Takes on an urgent, mission-like tone during comebacks or when a chart position is close.
