He’s no stranger to going viral, but this week EDM heavyweight John Summit hit a very specific online milestone — and he’s absolutely thrilled about it.
The 31-year-old DJ and producer, best known for dance floor anthems like Where You Are, has been officially crowned the newest obsession of gay Twitter — and if his reaction is anything to go by, he’s wearing the title with pride.
A Shirtless Clip, A Viral Moment
It all kicked off when a video surfaced from one of Summit’s recent live sets. The clip — featuring him shirtless, drenched in sweat, and totally lost in the music — was posted on Thursday by X (formerly Twitter) account @MENin4K. Within hours, it had racked up over 4.2 million views.
But instead of sidestepping the hype, Summit leaned right in.
“I made it on gay twitter hell ya,” he wrote in a quote-post of the viral video.
That simple, celebratory post instantly sparked another wave of fan excitement. His repost quickly amassed millions more views, and confirmed what many had already suspected: John Summit is not just in on the joke — he’s loving every second of it.

A Rare Ally in Mainstream EDM
While many DJs play to queer crowds, few in the mainstream EDM world engage with LGBTQ+ fans as openly or warmly as Summit.
With over 11.5 million monthly listeners on Spotify and nearly 200 million views on YouTube, Summit’s platform is massive — and he’s made a point of using it to uplift queer fans rather than distance himself from them.
Whether it’s showing up for LGBTQ+ crowds at festivals, or simply interacting online with warmth and humour, his connection with the community feels authentic and effortless.
That matters, especially in an industry where many artists still err on the side of caution. In Summit’s case, his boyish charm, goofy humour, and on-stage intensity have endeared him to fans across the spectrum — but his willingness to openly embrace queer appreciation is what sets him apart.
An EDM King the Internet Can Agree On
Summit’s reaction to his viral moment has only strengthened his bond with queer audiences — with fans praising him for being chill, supportive, and fully in on the fun.
“If only every DJ reacted to ‘gay Twitter’ this way,” one user commented, echoing the sentiment across the platform.
As the EDM scene continues to evolve, it’s clear Summit is carving out a space where fun, fandom, and queer joy can all exist side by side — and be celebrated for exactly what they are.
