Deadmau5 roped in My Chemical Romance singer Gerard Way for "Professional Griefers", released on August 14, 2012 as the third single from > album title goes here <, his sixth studio album, on Ultra. An instrumental version had been kicking around for about a year before the two recorded it together in a Los Angeles studio, with Way on lead vocals; he shares the writing credit with Joel Zimmerman, who produced it.
It's a hard-charging electro house track, and the title borrows gamer slang for people who make a habit of tormenting other players in multiplayer games. The video runs with that idea: a Chrono Trigger-influenced future showdown in which the two fight with remote-controlled robots in a UFC tournament, made on a budget of more than a million dollars. The song also turned up in FIFA 13 and Asphalt 8: Airborne, and briefly on Arrow.
