Slayyyter Reveals Her Stage Name Comes From This ‘90s Stoner Film
The pop star explained the meaning behind her alias on her late night debut with Seth Meyers.
Slayyyter, the pop artist who has taken the music industry by storm, recently revealed the origin of her stage name. During her debut appearance on Late Night With Seth Meyers, she explained that her moniker comes from a character in a '90s stoner film. The name "Slayyyter" traces back to Ron Slater, played by Rory Cochrane in Richard Linklater's cult classic Dazed and Confused.
Slayyyter confessed that she had a crush on Cochrane's laid-back character in high school, which led to the creation of her distinctive stage name. This infatuation with Cochrane's persona has now become her signature identity, and it is no surprise that her name is gaining recognition in the music world. Slayyyter is currently gearing up for the release of her name album, "Wor$t Man in America," which is set to drop on December 4.
The album, a follow-up to her successful WOR$T GIRL IN AMERICA, has already released two songs: "Brand New Chanel$," which reached No. 98 on the Billboard Hot 100, and "Crank 2." Slayyyter made WOR$T GIRL IN AMERICA with the intention of it being her last album, treating it as a "last-ditch effort" before potentially going back to school.
However, her plans have changed since signing with Columbia Records, and she now hints at the possibility of making more albums in the future. With the success of her recent North American tour and the announcement of her upcoming album, it appears that Slayyyter is far from stopping anytime soon.
