''Stup Virus'' is the fourth album by French AlternativeHipHop trio ''{{Music/Stupeflip}}''. It was funded through the crowdfunding platform Ulule.

The Crou has a new spokesperson : Sandrine Cacheton, a synthetic voice which talks about how the Crou has become some sort of scientology-like cult. Meanwhile, Pop-Hip is burning in Stup Hell and we might know more about the origins of Stupeflip thanks to the track "1993".

*** This is also the fourth album by Stupeflip to mention Mylène.
*** In real life, a collaborator of Mylène revealed that she didn't care about Stupeflip.
