Sadly believable Twitter hoax claims Limp Bizkit is playing at an Ohio gas station

Limp Bizkit, the musical equivalent of your high school id, may not be as popular as it was back when nu metal was a thing. But surely people wouldn’t believe that the group has fallen so low it would play at a gas station in Dayton, Ohio, right?

Right?

Actually, it turns out people would. In fact, some Bizkit fans were so convinced that the band would play — I can’t believe how sad this sounds — at a gas station in Ohio that the local police department had to take to Twitter to dispel the rumors about a show.

On April 19, the Dayton, Ohio, police department sent out a tweet showing what looks like a poster for the faux show along with what looks like a tweet from the band promoting the gas station gathering.

The nonexistent show was to take place on April 20 — aka the annual weed holiday 4/20 — because of course it was.

I reached out to the Dayton Police Department, but they didn’t have any information about the nonexistent concert. If you really want to listen to the band, you can always root around in your basement for their old CDs, or just head down to the local dump to see if you can dig one up.
