These terrible Tinder chats are hitting the mark.
Music producer Luke Holloway is taking the awkward and shocking exchanges on the popular dating app and turning them into tunes on Instagram and TikTok.
In his viral videos, he’s spouting absurd, painful Tinder prose — impersonating both matches — while a snapshot of the actual conversation flashes on the screen.
Holloway, 39, posted the first – where the man opened with “Do you smoke crack?” — on his page @lewky___ in late August.
“I chose that conversation because the idea that ‘smokes crack’ was on that particular person’s list of things they were looking for in a romantic partner was super funny to me,” he told The Post.
The video received over 2 million views and fans begged him to make more, with comments such as: “Never stop making these.”
“So I kept doing them and then after about a month of posting on Instagram, all of a sudden, out of nowhere, I had about 100,000 new followers. It was crazy,” he said.
One of the harshest conversations he put to music, which received more than 4 million views, is based on an exchange where a woman reveals to the man who texted her that he was hooking up with her mother and her friend.
“When she gives their names, he replies, “Fk, that’s hard. So what’s your plan tonight?”
Holloway’s shots have even earned him celebrity followers such as Adrian Grenier, Christina Milian, Melissa McCarthy and Matt Bomer – and he hopes to include famous musicians playing the parts of Tinder users, such as dream collaborations with Ariana Grande and Harry Styles .
He finds Tinder chats from places like Reddit and the entertainment website Bored Panda, while his followers simply flood his inbox with others.
“It’s really flooded. It takes me hours to get through,” said Holloway, who was on Tinder for two weeks and is now in a relationship.
“It’s frustrating at times, I’m not going to lie. You are just reading terrible talk. Some of the people get really cruel, so I try to find them who won’t be big creeps.”
Some messages are simply too X-rated.
“If it’s too overtly sexual, which I’ve felt a lot of them are, I tend to stay away,” he said.
Holloway looks for conversations that are “really weird without being offensive” — like his most popular song, which has garnered 12 million views, which began with the man asking: “Say potato if you’re real”.
What sparked the most controversy is a tune he created from a conversation that took a turn when the woman asked, “What do you do for work?”
“Stuff like that is exactly why I don’t do dating apps,” the rejected man replied. “We don’t even know anything about each other and you want the most personal details already.”
“People have commented in the comments that they don’t like being asked that question either, which has led to debates about whether or not it’s a good or bad question to ask,” said Holloway, who grew up in Indiana and now lives. in Washington, DC
“I didn’t see any of this coming. … To me, work is such an impersonal question.”
