Songs
20 Dollars
In May 2009,[38] Ron Browz released the single "20 Dollars". The song was not a success commercially, which he blamed on his label's refusal to promote the song. Despite its lack of commercial success, "20 Dollars" garnered popularity online as an internet meme among fans of the Slenderman mythos.[39] This originated from a video uploaded by YouTube user brett824 that claimed to have "discovered" missing audio of a Marble Hornets episode, but in reality was a humorous bait-and-switch that instead played excerpts from "20 Dollars" whenever Slenderman appeared on-screen.[40] The song became associated with Slenderman, who fans facetiously claimed only stalked its victims because of its desire for "20 dollars".[41]
