Ditty.it is an app that has seen a big increase in use recently after Tumblr and then Twitter users began making memes with the music video generator.
It works like this: Ditty.it allows anyone to create a 15-20 second clip set to a generic backing track. You have a set number of characters you can type, and then an automated voice will sing along to music using your lyrics.
There's an option to purchase actual songs (currently there are tracks by Sia and Future) but most people seem to be content with the free, ditty-created beats.
The Ditty app has been around since late 2015.
At first, people were putting just about anything to music. Funny quotes, greetings and messages were the norm until recently, when a version of Good Day featuring lyrics describing cultural icons as "thick ass bihs" inspired a surge in hundreds of videos. Here's an example:

And now Twitter users are also getting in on the act, creating videos about cartoon characters, and yeah, it'll ruin your childhood and your adulthood all at once.
