The song gained more attention on social media in late 2020 through TikTok, especially from a trend where the song would get poorly mashed up with other songs.TikTok
==Rips==
Most of the early rips using "Astronaut in the Ocean" reference a TikTok trend where the song is poorly mashed up with other songs. The first rip to do this was "Ghost in the Machine - OneShot". As well as that, most of the early rips would use poorly extracted vocals, with bits of the instrumental "Astronaut in the Ocean" hearable as well as lower quality vocals. This use of the meme was very commonly used alongside the instrumental of "Yankin", which is properly fitted to the track, contrasting "Astronaut in the Ocean" (and with the added benefit of having an element of the rip that technically took effort to do). As one might expect, most of these unsynced mashup rips gained a lot of dislikes.
However, after the channel event dedicated to celebrating the song's second anniversary on June 7, 2021, almost all rips featuring the song have been proper mashups, using its own instrumental instead of "Yankin"'s.
The song and its lyrics are the basis of "Act 3: Down Below - Curse of the Fallen Angel".
