Machine Gun Kelly's "Cliché" has TikTok in a dance frenzy

• It could soon join songs like "Bad Things" and "My Ex's Best Friend" as one of MGK's biggest hits to date.

The intrigue: "Cliché" takes its inspiration from the glory days of MTV's "Total Request Live."

• The music video is loaded with intentionally corny lyrics, boy band dance moves and a closing rain sequence the "Step Up" movie franchise would be proud of.

What they're saying: "If 'TRL' in the nineties was still going … it would be up there," Machine Gun Kelly said while walking the red carpet at Sunday's American Music Awards.

• "I love being able to bring something nostalgic to the current state of music."

State of play: The video has spawned a dance craze on TikTok.

• Some clips of users copying its choreography have generated thousands of likes.

What's next: "Cliché" is the lead single from MGK's seventh studio album expected later this year.

• The 35-year-old, who just had a baby with actress Megan Fox, will continue his nostalgia trip by performing at the Warped Tour 30th anniversary shows in Washington, D.C. next month and Orlando in November.
