Wilco's 'Jesus, Etc.' Finds a Second Life as a TikTok Dance Trend

"Jesus, Etc.," a track from Wilco's album Yankee Hotel Foxtrot, is having an unlikely moment on TikTok. The song has become the soundtrack to a user-created dance that's being widely reposted and remade, according to a roundup by American music outlet Uproxx.

What was announced

There's no official campaign behind this — no label push, no artist-approved choreography. Uproxx's social post simply compiled the TikTok accounts most responsible for spreading the dance, without further commentary from Wilco or their label.

What we know so far

Unlike most TikTok music trends, which tend to latch onto new singles or viral-ready hooks, "Jesus, Etc." is neither a new release nor a lead single — it's a track from an existing Wilco album. The dance moves themselves were devised by users, not choreographers or the band, and spread through duets and re-creations rather than any coordinated rollout.

Uproxx's post named the following accounts as key drivers of the trend:

Why it matters

"Jesus, Etc." has long been considered one of Wilco's signature songs and a live-set staple. Its sudden TikTok visibility is putting it in front of an audience likely different from the band's usual listener base.
