Troye Sivan Entertains Americans with Explanation of “Bush Doofs” | theMusic.com.au

Australian pop sensation Troye Sivan has been making waves in the US with his recent appearance on the Late Show with Seth Meyers. The Johannesburg-born, Perth-raised singer took the opportunity to educate American viewers on the unique Australian concept of a “doof” party.

During the show, Sivan explained that a “doof” is a party, with a fist-pumping gesture, and a “bush doof” is a party held in the bush. He then went on to discuss the LGBTQIA+ iteration of the term, introducing the term “poof doof” as a gay party, referencing the famous Melbourne nightclub of the same name.

Sivan’s explanation of the term “poof doof” has sparked viral interest on TikTok, with many Australians expressing surprise and excitement at hearing the term mentioned on American television. Comments such as “POOF DOOF MENTIONED ON SETH MEYERS” and “Love that he’s sharing our culture with the world” flooded social media in response to Sivan’s revelation.

In addition to his TV appearance, Sivan was also the big winner at this week’s APRA Music Awards, taking home the prestigious Song of the Year award for his track “Rush.” His latest album, which explores themes of sex, dance, sweat, community, queerness, love, and friendship, has been praised for its honesty and vulnerability by critics.

Overall, Sivan’s willingness to share Australian culture with a global audience has been met with enthusiasm and appreciation, solidifying his status as a rising star in the music industry.
