So glad emp has changed since this video, or at least his attitude and general style. While i agree with most points in this video, this entire fucking video gives off the 25 yr old screaming at some 11 yr olds over xbox live. Like jesus christ, how many games of tf2 did emp have to loose to record this video with that ammount of hatrid?


The start of this video made me wonder what the "outsider thing" is these days.

What's seen as nerdy and weird, when it's really great?
What just has a dedicated niche and isn't catering to the mainstream?
What has a group of people who really get and genuinely discuss and have standards for their thing?

I don't know. With how much you can see on the Internet and how much is accepted here, I don't know.

Reading books??

I'm just so sick of mainstream culture and frankly indeed, normies and I don't feel like I belong pretty often and I have terribly picky standards... You know yer shit about the 00's internet and I felt good there.

I guess you just really have to look really hard for particular people these days or something. It feels like everything is full of shit and normies and everything gets really heavily corporate I'm sick of that too.

@butterman59 how tf is JoJo even remotely outsider, everyone knows about it

@Sandjack I try just to live and have my strange tastes.
I for example love Rhythm Tengoku, an obscure Nintendo rhythm game that blowed up a bit some months ago, I knew about it since 2019 more or less but I never played hard enough, but that made me play the game and I actually liked it.
I don't care about being an outsider or an normie, I just want to live my life and like what I like.

Anyone not on social media who meets up with people IRL is a weirdo now days

There are no more niches that exist outside of those that require pre-requisite knowledge as a gatekeeper (think quantum mechanics or some shit). Outsider culture exists within niches inside of niches now, as normies have attempted to sterilize everything that was once fun and interesting.

Extreme metal and dreamcast mmo communities xD

@diapason You mean something has to be outside the current cultural zeitgeist to be outsider art? Yeah, it's always been that way, like the Underground Comix from the 60s and 70s. It's always the stuff that's bizarre and offensive which tends to bring in a more interesting and less mainstream audience.
The mindset of "how do I find things which are good but not mainstream" is the problem in the first place. It's like going up to a film buff and saying "what are all the best films to watch so I'll become a film buff too?" If the best non-mainstream material was easy to find, then it'd probably be fuckin mainstream, wouldn't it?

Nerds and outsiders aren't defined by liking things which aren't popular, that just makes you a hipster. They're defined by a level of dedication that goes beyond the average. For instance, Pokemon has a pretty large casual audience of young children which it has always been targeted to, but noone would say the obsessive fanatics who know every aspect of the meta, play every obscure side-game and autistically breed competitive teams for tournament play are 'normies', because they've put in effort that goes beyond normal social acceptability.
Likewise, if you actually want to get into any outsider subculture or more obscure medium, you just have to put effort into things you actually enjoy, rather than searching for the perfect 'anti-normie' haven. Same way Emp describes old YouTube, how it was more fun because you actually have to get off your ass to find new and interesting material. And just like old YouTube, a lot of really nerdy shit and outsider media is obscure for a reason; because the content has big flaws or bizarre and confusing aspects which scare newcomers off. Searching for niche hobbies and expecting to find great content is like playing obscure Commodore 64 games and expecting to find Skyrim or something. If you have really picky standards and can't look past flaws that make something awkward, frustrating or uncomfortable to try and find the truly unique and exciting aspects, then you'll never experience the true nerd nirvana of finding the one perfect thing that appeals to you and noone else. You won't find the perfect band or comic book series right away, you have to build a genuine interest in a medium over years, and yes, usually you have to start off at the normie level before you start to build an understanding and appreciation for what's outside the mainstream.
If you aren't interested in doing that, might as well go back to watching the Avengers and playing Call of Duty or whatever else is perfectly designed to stimulate your ape brain without seriously challenging you in any possible way.

TL;DR if you care about not being a normie, then You're Probably a Fucking Normie

i don't check my notifications one word: fanfiction

it's getting to the point where you have to be actually offensive to get excluded from mainstream catering

To put it simply, the outsider are the ones who put a lot of genuine effort and arent so big. For example the soundcloud rapper community could be cinsidered an outsider community as they search for their media and greatly appriciate lesser known songs

I would say that furries are like what an outsider was  but at the same time I don't believe it.

Maybe 4chan has been and will be the outsiders' last bastion, not all of it is /b/ or /pol/, it has more niche boards (if we could call them like that).


Have you seen the new behind the meme claimant?


MF DOOM is outsider music nice<br>rip MF DOOM

MF DOOM is outsider music nice

Most people call the outsiders the chads.


4chan don’t make dank like that anymore unfortunately


yeah, Behind the Meme is good for beginners, but terrible when you realize he doesn't really know what the meme is.

Nebby can get out of the bag because Cosmog gets Teleport

I unsubscribed after the Nebby get in the bag one. I was really hoping that it would not be a genwunner view (saying that is "was" popular and all that)  AAAAAAAAAND it was. And he does not even explain how it works with the storyline.

I just think if you're getting into a field you should try to learn by working first. If you want to start drawing, do you first watch some 7 year old draw a stickman for your base understanding? Memes aren't a job field, of course, but getting info from any third source is a pretty bad idea.

"beginners" god how much more cringey can memers get

Beginners shouldn't get regurgitated info. They should start looking at uncommon memes and maybe make their own.

TheZapingNinja Infinity <br>I agree 100 percent with this. I recently unsubbed. A little after 4/20.

Someone using the word normie sends a shiver of cringe down my spine

@Joshua M holy fucking shit dude I'm not reading all that but if you have the time to type a thesis on the terminology and usage of the word "normie" then I genuinely have nothing else to say

Yea but this was made like 6 years ago lol

Just like how behind the meme killed the woah meme

and i was searching through all BTM videos...

Well I only have seen this quote on one Video yesterday...

Looking back, it was never that deep.
And no one will keep that energy for bigger channels.


I thought this was a controversial video but with that massive lick count I guess I should agree with everything and take it at face value


Behind the meme says hello like a Dutch person


Anthony Fantano is acc pretty good looking tbh


I love how using the word "Normie" is now considered normie due to normies calling other normies normies.
Fuck this shit somebody make a new internet.

Also praise Anthony.

AshesAndSketches Brilliant idea. I'm taking out a patent.

What if you're stingy as fuck, you could strain the milk from the cereal, and save precious milk >:0

This entire situation is as pointless as eating cerial with a fork.

Well the outsiders call each other outsiders which would turn into a supposedly 'normie' thing

As a normie, I'd recommend that next time the Outsiders want to use an exclusive platform for them, they better not again choose one that will become important for Normies as well. Because Normies will always take over the platforms they need.


so what about ''A lesson in meme culture''? is he bad to


So what if Behind The Meme exposed them to ''The Normies''?

Out of all the things people want to pointlessly gatekeep and get irrationally angry about, it has to be memes.

@Bird Brain but this is the internet and they ALWAYS get the wrong message, so he got harressed and hated on

@Hot Single Horses emp never condoned harassment at all in his video.<br>Infact he even said not to harass behind the meme

@Hot Single Horses emp never condoned harassment at all in his video.
Infact he even said not to harass behind the meme

@Whatever Bro<br>not worth harassment, NOTHING is worth harassment

@Whatever Bro
not worth harassment, NOTHING is worth harassment

It's not about the gatekeeping, it's about how he misinforms people and he's doing an overall bad job at explaining memes

JamesTheGoo you miss the whole point, the point is he was doing a bad job


That like to dislike ratio is tearing my skin off.


When did memes become so bad? Anything can be memed now a days its filled with tryhards with really stupid dank memes that make 0 sense. No offense but all the memes shown in this video highlights the problem with memes. Im not sure if that was the point. Why is everything green or loud or distorted and weird its just bas.

generic old man yelling at new thing cliche

@sussedEEXZ well you do you man good on ya. Im sure theres an audience waoting for that nieche

@kapi barra i’m thinking of making an updated video like emplemon. I’m getting $2k every month from my job (i’m 17 btw) so i can afford high quality equipment for this. I’m thinking on making it about either how meme culture has declined or just general mediocrity seen in 2019-2021.

@sussedEEXZ naw man your good. People just looking for that meme clout and the meme world.has been tsken over by normies bro. I mean if you want loud and crasy but still pulled it off with class was filthy frank.

Holy fuck truth. I felt like nobody had the same opinion cause i’d get ratio’d and everyone would say i’m the normie cause i don’t like this repetitive shit.


( Ned screams to Notorious B.I.G's Big Poppa as it plays )


Fun fact: It's been over a month since Behind the Meme uploaded a video on Youtube. I won't hold my breath on this, but I can assume he's dead at this point.

Let's poke hi  with a stick and find out.

Yes!
He's finally dead.

Or...
We've ran out quality memes bcuz he's squeezed all the high quality ones dry.

Update: It's been three months and there are still no signs of return. Let's keep our hopes high


The way you describe normies vs outsiders is really pretentious. Cool video tho


I love you man but there pixles in a screen, could immagine if pewds, reddit or btm didn't kill a meme, we'd be laughing at waterd down big Chungus memes. Memes need to die

memes do die, because we get tired of them. they evolve and change, but more people using them incorrectly kills that lifespan of memes and forces everything to be produced faster, degrading quality of memes. 2011 memes have died out or evolved into something new and fresh, and that was long, long before this problem.


2:18 I'm searching for the source of this clip any information would be helpful.

In other words, Sauce?


Ngl this video is definitely dated but JEEZ was this an improvement of quality vs btm


is there such thing as a normie who wants to become an outsider but can't fully become one. is there a middle ground and what would that be called?


for some reason most of the people i watch were former ytp makers


6:55 then normies start using THIS meme sound in Tiktoks in 2020, YEARS after Emp used it wtf


This meme shit is actually complicated, like I thought calling it complicated was stupid but now like I have to figure out what's the most popular, what's the most funny meme of the fucking week, not month or year, like they die so fast till they go into a final stage till they're just gone and unliked, an ironic meme, it's basically a white dwarf star, it'll be there but it has a small impact on anything, then it dies. It sucks tbh

Be yourself. as corny as it sounds, thats basically how outsiders and non-normies behave and think

Jace Nicholson
just stick to the memes you like. if you care about what meme is trendy or hot this week, that's normie behavior.
I don't play every videogame so I'm not going to pretend to care about every video game meme. 👌


You know <br>This nonesense basically Is the basis for cancel culture as a whole

Edit: and King Crimson damn


this is one of the worst videos on the internet


Thank you for finally opening my eyes and turning me against behind the meme

I'm in the exact same situation. I found Behind The Meme interesting first, because it explains memes (and as someone who is at a weird middle ground between outsider and normie, I can use that). But this video showed me the true effects of the channel... wow...

Same here, surely did open my eyes. At first I was like "well them just explains harmless jokes, why does everyone hate them" After this video i'm like :
grabs pitchfork "Did someone say behind the meme?"

why is this in the danganronpa v3 ost playlist-


Hated this video from day 1, guess I'm the cool kid now.

I was a freshman when this dropped and I hated it too. His normie vs outsider curve made no sense and still doesn’t. We shouldn’t hate people for “ruining” memes but instead hate companies that try to use memes to connect to their buyers. That always seemed like a bigger deal to me.


(Date added newest: last upload 2 years ago) Ladies and gentlemen, we got’em


Why do people hate Behind The Meme and not Lessons in Meme Culture?

If you watched the video you'd know, it is self-explanatory


Me and my friends have a rule that every if a meme is covered by behind the meme, the meme instantly dies and we can never talk about that meme again, that’s how bad his content is

the man speaks the truth ( TheMysteriousCatPerson)

you said "me and my friends" so its your choice to consider it dead.


The most recent comments on this are very whiny


"Guys behind the meme is ruining meme culture, but Lessons In Meme Culture is doing fine."

@Cielnova While your not wrong that limc's have a better way of explaining the memes helped him not suffer the same fate as btm.

There's also the fact that while btm came onto the scene where the intermet was more edgy and willing to pounce on someone for reasons as dumb as this, limc came onto the scene where making videos like these nowadays would make you look like a cornball.

This is evident by the fact that if you go on the comments and select newest first and scroll down, you can see a good number of the comments being pretty critical of emp over this video.

LiMC is better because the content he makes is up to date and relevant to the memescape to the time. I agree with Emp that BtM was bad, but he was bad because the memes he covered were either dying, dead, or were fresh enough for his target audience to play with it past the expiration date. Along with that, BtM basically just read from the Know Your Meme page directly for every video, while providing lukewarm examples\

Lessons in Meme Culture covers the origins of memes that showed up the same week of his upload, if not only a few days before. The memes he covers are still fresh, and he doesn't talk down to his audience with his explanations.


lol Emp is always mellow af in his newer vids, hella caught me off guard. Don't  get me wrong I've watched loads of YTP since like 2010 at least.

woah, did you figure that out on your own?


Your the Obi Wan of the internet, our last hope


Thank you for making this. I was expecting this video to get some heat, but my god, most of the people in the comments are completely braindead. They probably didn't even watch the full video. They just say "ur a normie!!!1 this video is bad!1!" failing to properly criticize or point out any potential false/misleading information. But then again, they are normies

Don't bother making a damage control video trying to explain yourself or anything if you're planning to do so. It's not worth wasting your time.

Andrew Harding maybe because they are red memes a new name I just thought up for this branch. BTM are blue memes and I am shadow meme.

Pink Storm, I don't think I said anything about anyone being born a normie or outsider, but you are right on how everyone started out as a normie and yes Behind The Meme could actually be the difference in looking a meme up or not as you say, but I just can't see it considering his use of outdated information and just plain old boring content.

WackyClock so you have no way to refute the criticisms?

Amature Producer you do realize EVERYONE started out as being a "normie" no one was just born knowing memes. Behind the memes might be the Difference between them looking deeper or not.

Emp would not make a damage control...HE would make a literal FUCK YOU ALL if anything, haven't you seen his Frying Dory? XD

Andrew, normies are hated on because they're known to usually not know about the meme all that much about the meme and tend to mess it up when using it. Yes, there are normies who know what they actually are and don't mess up the joke but there's not that many out there. Also, no one is not allowed to use memes, like how no one is not allowed to make food. But sometimes the person just needs help to make that spicy meatball meme good or else it could be raw or burnt, or just taste bad. A lot of meatball memes taste bad because they use the wrong spices and seasons in the wrong order, too much or too little. If anything we just need to give them some well made factual instructions with some good imagery examples. Behind The Meme, gives the instructions, but they're not good instructions, they are made very blandly, contain old and outdated informatiion and bad examples. Also, there actually is a  big difference between normies and the outsiders that is based on their knowledge of the meme, its type and the use of it. With some good and hard research, you can clearly tell the difference between what meme has been used by a Normie or an outsider and if they fit into either one of these categories. I hope this answered some of your questions and/or cleared up some confusion you may have had my dude, have a nice day/night. :)

"here's some serious criticism"<br>Yeah, from a normie. lol

"here's some serious criticism"
Yeah, from a normie. lol

heres some serious criticism.
 since when were meme's an exclusive club? they're on literally ever image sharing site and used by teachers in classes now.
why does he make such a amazingly black and white dichotomy between people being "normies" or "outsiders?" surely if this were any kind or thought out he'd have recognized that people dont work that way nor will they ever agree to who belongs in what group.
even more than that, meme's spawn from different subcultures. some groups will call something a meme while others will have no clue that it was ever one in the beginning.
and even if you do find one meme thats universally known, it wont be used the same way by everyone nor will it last in its current form for very long. look at pepe, I have seen thousands of pepe variants used each with different connotations and specific situational uses.
and even when you look at one single instance of a meme from one time not everyone will use that meme to mean the same thing. from using it ironically to using it as a subversive punchline, memes are basically used as words in the language of the internet.

also what the fuck was that god awful piece of shit dinosaur reference at the beginning about the internet being the meteor and all that shit. I think i have cancer now.

to summarize, fuck this lemon and his opinions

+Antwain Jackson on the first day, god created memes.

@dandaniel yes channel died "We did it youtube!"


Just like Pierre Bourdieux puts it: If you do not own the social capital or habitus, you will always be exposed by the higher society.


"HELLO INTERNET!" Every time i hear him say that i cringe and want to punch something, am i the only one?

Everytime I hear "cringe" and want to punch something. Anyone else?

Aether. Game theory started in 2011 that as he would. Say"hello internet and welcome to game theory"

I think everyone wants to punch him even his fans.

Buzz I cringe every time he says "Here.. We.. GO"

There are 7 billion people on the Earth. No, you are not the only one.

Cosimo Faieta BRUH, DON'T EVEN GET ME FUCKIN STARTED ON HIM!

He sounds like he weighs 90lbs and has hair past his shoulders, but as long as he keeps making Ps I am okay with that.

Buzz I used to like that phrase.......USED TO!

Haxor9000MAX the only idk dont kno if any human can comprehend that much of a powar

Tremendous. Believe me. im not a normie ek de

i used to feel that way but after i heard my friend watch him say it i had somthin to punch so my urge is gone

for now......


Or dracopa fans who some how got here from a playlist?

<b>It appears i found the BehindTheMeme fans</b>

*It appears i found the BehindTheMeme fans*


I miss ThatIsThePlan. <br>Absolute sellout.


emp's definition of outsiders literally describes furries tho

@iLB ?

Tell me, which channel in the top 10 other than pewdiepie, which can be considered a part of the youtube community

@iLB I dunno I just expected his fanbase to get fussy over that, cool to see that's not really the case tho :)

@shed You sure about that? Do you honestly think we have the audience large enough to counter Cocomelon? Do you think we will have a 2nd pewdiepie in the top 10 channels?


I wonder what emp thinks about this video now


It’s pretty funny hearing him say ‘normies’ unironically.


Allthough, i truly dispise BehindTheMeme, Please explain it without normie memes.

Yeah, I didn't even care if he was doing it wrong. We all know we can just Google the rest of it.

Ruski Looking back at behind the meme, I don't mind him. I thought he's entertaining.

memes for dreams
 >spongebob memes

>not normie memes

what do you mean? these arent normie memes?


Did you put in that audio clip of Bootsy at 14:22 or is that in the game? Cause I need that to be in a game @emplemon or whatever

Sir David Dabbing is a way of smoking marijuana.

Before it was a meme, dabing was about celebrating a incredible action (e.g. finishing a super hard level)<br>Right ? Please don't call me a normie, i watched YTP of spongebob when i was 9 ! Even when i didin't understood what they said (i a 9 year old French) i stayed because of the animation.

I know this has nothing to do with what he is saying here, but 4Chan is like a fickle god; it will sometimes pick fights with you and win, or it will let you stay and look at memes. There are also the many different things that could happen, including:
1: A meme or story scars you for life
2: you get addicted and never leave
3: You learn the secrets of being an Edgelord on the internet, and are currently posting a meme and conducting a fight with a normies that stumbled into 4chan
4: obviously there are more options....

when you search deep enough

you can never come back


God the midnight club music distracted me from the video. I'm sure what you were saying was interesting, but God damn


@Therworldtube Well if you want to get into the VERY FIBERS OF HIS SKIN THEN YEAH, THIS GUY IS NOT HUNGRYBOX.

@Furjaden Wrong. Most people in the FGC has heard of 'hungrybox'. And he is backed up by some good buddies (like Axe)

Emplemon has little to no allies. The community he's 'representing' is long gone (his doc on his downward spiral explains this). And to top it all off, he's a vegan that supports PETA, in a time when the Irwin Anniversary death was recent.

@Therworldtube i.e. Hbox of memes, he is the unpopular king of smash, or at least was.


Saying Behind the Meme is good at explaining memes is like saying AVGN is good at convincing people that alcohol is bad

OR saying AVGN is funny, or a good content creator

Gumfondle Or saying BTM is as unique as WatchMojo.


Lessons In Meme Culture. Is the better version of him.


What is one to do if they are not quite a normie, but not quite one to peruse 4chan or the like for the latest dank memes?


@
EmpLemon did you get copirighted for using when the levee breaks without lyrics?


I regret using headphones and im not even half way in


Memes are not meant to be explained. We're just supposed to hear, cringe or laugh about it.

ikr? Dab has died months ago and btm never explained it

+The Eagle Did you not see the example emplemon used, where google searches lingered for the sparta meme for almost a year? What I was referring to was old ass 2007 memes, like this is sparta, I dont need google search data to tell you that memes like those lasted a while.

Elbow Grease they've always died within weeks. Remember the agressive pizza thing, grand-dad, and Clone High meme. Anyway, memes are cancer and shouldn't be spread or kept alive.

DAY-V Entertainment™ the only reason I watch BTM is so I can hear the history of a meme

they arent meant to die in the span of weeks either, but look what happens now.


Is this a behind the behind the meme video?


Okay but can someone explain why this is in a Danganronpa V3 OST playlist-


Looking back on This whole thing now it was like two band kids scrapping each other, so corny


i actually have no idea what ytp is until i see this vid and realized that ive been enjoyin r6s ytp for a whole year lmao


In Behind the Meme’s last video there are a ton of people defending him which is disturbing. One of them being a verified youtuber


It's funny cos the entire interpretation of how memes work at the time of the video is so different from now that some of his points don't apply.


You are turning behind the meme into a meme subsequently giving behind the meme the opportunity to make a behind the meme video about behind the meme.

D00M SHR00M but when behind the meme reviews a meme it kills the meme


This video aged terribly. I like emp, but hearing him use the word "normie" unironically makes him sound like a turbo-virgin with acne all over. The idea that you would make a 30 minute video about a normie "stealing" your memes sounds beyond ridiculous, especially since he did not deserve to be bullied over that. I'm glad emp has moved on from this.

@Charlie Everhart Being in highschool and having a channel with half a million subs+ would be quite a feat still.

@HempLemming that makes this so much worse. I thought the guy was in high school or something

@A Isopod the fake suicide video was after this one of Emps. I love Emp's content but this series was embarassing af. but well, he was like 22 when he made these videos.


Looking back on this video, this is probably the most soy thing I've ever seen


2016 literally killed meme length<br>they only last like 3 weeks now

2016 literally killed meme length
they only last like 3 weeks now

Bernie in the mittens lasted about 1.5-2 weeks. The half-life of internet memes is rapidly degrading.

They die quicker because more people use the internet nowadays.

Bruh AMO gus is still here for some reason

Memes die quick because they weren't good enough. Plenty of memes have lasted to this day because they're so reusable

Impossible the people who like memes can't just be growing and has a lot of people who like memes and now they last so little time because everyone tries to just one up the other

@SandboxArrow To be honest, I think that meme would be better if they showed more of their more insane dance moves, and used the music the Ghanians played themselves instead of the modern electronic music. Some of my thoughts on the coffin dance meme.

@Johnny Instagram is the worst place for memes

Some last longer than a month but can't think of one

yeah if you browse shit like r/dankmemes

@Albert Morty that meme was terrible. At first I thought it was a Facebook meme


Here is my knowledge of how a meme dies, I got it from beasty: When a meme is explained it dies. Like how you explain the Da Wae meme and its whole purpose, it dies because it lost its funniness and its original meaning.


I got twice the <b>YEE</b> oh my I didn't see that coming

I got twice the *YEE* oh my I didn't see that coming


idk how you can make such a broad statement but somehow be completely right


RIP thatistheplan and the OG Meme Review


this video is embarrassing looking back at it

it was pretty embarassing at the time too


It should be implied that you NEVER wage a war on 4chan

It took tumblr 2 days to figure that out.


Hey emplemon i kinda wanna get into ytps i just dont get them please explain them


All these folks here talking about being Normies or Outsiders and I'm just like: "It is wrong to be both?"


why the fuck is this in the drv3 playlist im tryna listen to some murder tunes here


I feel like memes have gotten stupider since BTM came along.

Memes died when Ugandan Knuckles came along


Memes used to last years, some almost a decade, but thanks to normies memes are all 2 weeks long, the only meme that lasted more was "we are number one" and that was because stefan karl had cancer, did we reach a point where only cancer makes memes last more than a CAN OF FUCKING SOUP?

that is true, but you also have people on 4chan and shit that collect rare pepes to keep away from everyone else. so you still have shit like that

Cinos the Dense potato I'd like to argue that Pepe lasted for most of 2016, but that was mostly for reaction images and trolling people in politics

Cinos the Dense potato the ones that lasted years and decades are shit though

Cinos the Dense potato honestly, the memes in 2017 and late 2016 are shit,they are all just either a song that you make different versions from sound effects or a mashup with another song,or a sound effect that people make different version of songs with,it's just boring and predictable,that's why memes nowadays die quickly, because it's repetitive and boring and we Run out of ideas quickly,and it just the same formula,we are number one dies,the lorax turns into a meme and try to revive WANO with it,Lorax dies,shooting stars turns into a meme,people try to revive those two with it,shooting stars dies,fireflies becomes a meme,people try to revive those with it,fireflies dies,woah becomes a meme,people try to revive those with it

Good. Now how do we work on killing them faster...

Overkilling Machine oh that, yeah it might be because its the only anime that isnt garbage.

I don't care if you copy and paste it :) it will get the message out.

Kitanai Sunshine Memes becoming a fad wouldn't have even happen if Tv Networks weren't trying to relate with the kid's.

So many people crank out content on a constant basis and kill a fad quicker than you can say "it's not funny anymore". Some of this has to do with the growing number of people getting involved in internet culture, including advertisers. If something gets popular on the internet these days, people are gonna drive it through the ground and beyond. This is why memes "die" so fast - everyone gets tired of everyone blasting the same joke over and over for weeks on end so they move to the next. That's just from what I've seen from my point of view, though. To Nicholas, for me it isn't "normies" that kill memes, it's people who overuse them.

Can someone make a list of all memes that didn't make it through 2 weeks? I'm curious to see how many stale memes we have now.

OMG I thought I was the only one who realized this. Finally there is someone who actually makes sense. I hope you don't mind me copying and pasting this to other people, I just think that you gave a really good explanation on how this whole normie situation is dumb.

i cant wait until the part 5 anime for the reinvigoration of king crimson memes

And why do memes only last 2 weeks now? What defines a meme and whether or not it is dead? Most of the memes THIS video uses are far older than 2 weeks - so is this a channel of dead normie memes? Wouldn't that render the entire message irrelevant, since "a man who knows about memes" is using only "dead normie memes?"

Let me take a poke at this since meme isn't a word that the internet invented. A meme is an easily spread or "contagious" idea that lends itself well towards repackaging and re-use. Internet memes were called "memes" because they fit this definition perfectly. A 5-10 second clip of an orange video game character with weird audio that can be placed over literally anything to make it weird? Easy to use, tempting to spread, and thus a great meme. When does a meme DIE? Speaking based on definition, only when people stop thinking about it and spreading it - something BTM actually encourages. So it looks like we're going to need a definition change to even make your argument logical enough to debate.

If a meme, when spread to "normies," is dead, then we're assigning a memes life based on it's relative rarity and how little it has spread among the general public. This isn't the definition of "meme" - this is called an in joke. An in-joke is a joke that only makes sense to a small handful of individuals and loses its appeal when explained to the masses. To re-phrase this in meme form, "I liked this trend before it was cool."

Yes. You read that correctly. Logically speaking, you're not "a dank memer in a field of normies" - you're an internet hipster. In fact, given how pervasive hipster culture, the desire to be part of a clique, and the drive to be part of a small group of "experts" on a subject is, you might actually be the true normie afterall.

Memes will never get WORSE when shared to people, if the reason we enjoy memes is because they're entertaining. The only reason a meme can "die" when shared like this is because we derive an intense sense of elitism from being the only group "in the know." In essence, we use the fact that "we're the memers, they're the normies" to derive self esteem in our lives. We find BTM so "destructive" because it actively takes away that distinction and thus begins to undermine our self esteem as we know it.

How about that for a downer? I'll never be able to say this is what the situation is, but I can say that this is what you've accidentally tried to prove with your statement. If we accept that "normies kill memes" this is the only plausible answer.

A can of soup, if sealed correctly can last indefinitely

Cinos the Dense potato You forgot jojo memes it's been there for like 7 months

the crash meme lasted about <b>F I V E  D A Y S</b>

the crash meme lasted about *F I V E  D A Y S*

what soup are you eating? mine only last less than a day let alone 2 weeks

Master Rosie Your statement is wrong. You say that "BTM & his followers will never understand"but I was once a fan of his, but now I do understand. You guys are right to be mad.

Soup is canned so it will last a long time

Woah is still alive. If you claim it's dead, you're a meme killer. A <b>N O R M I E</b>

Woah is still alive. If you claim it's dead, you're a meme killer. A *N O R M I E*

Cancer takes life... And gives life... Wow.

Cinos the Dense potato I still like troll dad. They were pretty funny but then I realized my dad doesn't do dad jokes and I got sad.

Kola2 they werent that terrible, sure the troll face was the worst thing to ever happen to the internet but hey they could waste a minute.

Remember 2011 rage comics? They were trash but at least they remained relevant for a few years

Stephen Weiler i think the word you are looking for is "basic".

I miss those reaction images using the faces of real people.

Cinos the Dense potato The reason they lasted so long was because the Internet was bad. People laughed at surprised gopher or keyboard cat because it had no competition.

Ikr?
It's sad.
Unfortunately, it seems BTM & his followers will never understand.

Even Woah wasn't able to escape the Normiepocalypse


I really like this Video, but you could do with more earrape.


When Call of Duty made another WWII game 5:27


What's the music used at 20:40? I went through the list that emplemon provided in the description but couldn't find it


@AirDrip can't believe you're using normie unironically...

@John Doe says the normie with a doge picture


Anyone reading this now, go to “behind the memes” channel and watch his update videos. The internet hating you is not something anyone wants

@Julia Belyung he did. did you watch btm's response video to this and fonato's btlm parody? Btm handled it very poorly

ironic name  even if that's true he really didn't deserve the hate he got. His content didn't ruin memes for the rest of us or anything so he should have just been left alone

Yeah these videos are just minpilation
1st video was just "bo ho pity me i have sad songs in the background"
2nd video is the death of the number 1 guy so ppl can't hate him for it
3rd video was just fake out depression thing he even got a week alcohol so ppl thik he is depressed
4th video is just bad video that had no meaning


32:00 im not kidding when i say that i almost threw up there


I just want to say this one thing wtf is going on in the background!! EXPLAIN


why is this in the drv3 soundtrack playlist?

Don't you remember the btm trial? That one was my favorite


Nobody's gonna talk about the fact he said BO1 was for normies?

yeah no one is gonna talk about it since it was mainstream so


All the normies watching this are going to think there outsiders now.

@Suuwooski that's because everything has at least a little normie in it

been 1200 is that the only thing u can say?

been 1200 can I ask what ur point is it's obvious that it's my thing


Have watched almost all your vids and… honestly this so bad compared to all your other output. Idk so defensive & condescending in tone. Like compared to your more recent vids this could be a parody

It was a different time, I don't think he likes this video either but leaves it up for posterity


Dude the amount of DOPE classic rock in here is fuckinf awesome. When Pink Floyd’s the trial came on, I was like ok yeah that’s sick


Anthony Fantano is a professional music
20:55


Dude, I already loved your content, just found it today, but then I hear the music you chose for Chapter 7 of your video. Choosing to use Pink Floyd's "The Trial" was a decision of an almost....human nature. Well done sir.


Huh, most of your thumbnails have spirals. is this a m e m e ?


Looking back at this its kinda messed up how this guy single handedly destroyed this guys YouTube channel simply because he made memes understandable


What's the origins of ear rape where do I go to make that funny and get the context


4chan is basically “I find I will kill you” scene YOU CAN’T DO ANYTHING TO STOP THEM THERE IS NO POINT IN FIGHTING THEM Remember what happened to tumblr

Ah yes, I'm remember the 4chan tumblr war.


@Totally a Human Personally i enjoy LIMC more and find him fun to watch but i think its a good thing the same thing hasnt happened to him because its shown how the internet has matured from 3 years ago

@adzo yes he did nothing wrong. But LIMC is doing the same thing.

No, but only because he explains new memes and people have an idea of them. If he went with older memes the story would repeat... the normie thing applies to him tho

@TCS15 yeah, but limc describes in a kind of language that normies barely understand

@PyroToast3 but the meme exposure thing still kind of applies.

Nah, limc actually does research on when it began and other important stuff, whilst behind the meme just rambles for 8 minutes straight and narrates straight off a know your meme article....


I can see a future where the outsiders spoon-feed the normies their ousider content


This video was on a danganronpa v3 playlist


In lovecraft books, the story is usually about a force, being or concept that is so advanced or intelligent, that we humans would go insane by just looking at it. They say those books are fiction... That's a lie

4chan is that being.

@zikkimeister - There's a reason why former 4chan members moved to Telegram, even myself. The content in Telegram, yes mostly dissident extrimism, there's channels and chats that embodies the old 4chan.

I came because of the content, the site itself is better in my opinion, because even alternative social media is censoring on "Naughty Ideas". BitChute aready banned many channels, but not many people know this.

And much like 4chan, Lovecraft was insanely racist.

You realize in the grand scheme of things how pointless things can be, Lovecrafts story is about a journey and learning of something so terrible.<br>We never get to see this terrible thing, we are left to speculate, whatever they saw broke their worldview and only a few individuals walk away sane.

I feel like everyone took this video the wrong way. Emplemon didn't hate btm because he showed memes to normies, he hated him because he superficially explained memes and plagiarised from know your meme. He even explains this at the end of the video. That's also because limc is loved; he presents memes with background and context and most importantly writes his own goddamn scripts.

You're right, but screw the doxxers though

The video is 50% Valid criticisms and 50% gatekeeping memes

@Detah There will always be a sort of meme explainer on YouTube and I think that were lucky that we have someone rn that actually knows his shit.

@Doc Vince I agree, but it was ok at the time. Can you really hate a guy for doing blackface 100 years ago?

even if LIMC is better at explaining memes than behind the meme he kills memes faster because he exposes them to a broader audience. A meme could last a year now they last only like two weeks. He's still a normie

Maybe. But the whole “normies, outsiders” shit is fucking stupid. It’s the definition of “I’m not like other girls”.


You've predicted idubbbz's controversy this year

NinjaQwert 0:30 where Emp calls himself Content Cuck


Thank you EmpLemon. You made me understand what is going on with Behind The Meme and what is the difference between an outsider and a normie. You have liberated me from cancer. #BehindTheMemeNeedsToStop


@Anii That's I know it means nothing,  this is a YouTube comment section in a non-serious video about memes, you shouldn't take it seriously.

@TimmyGrOundOg I can't believe you've responded to like 3 people with this same retort thinking it actually means anything

I can't believe people take this video this seriously.


Well y’all got him to delete the channel lol


Reading the comments before watching the video makes me extremely confused


The worst thing you can ever do to a joke is blatantly explain it. It's not surprising that someone is receiving strong negative feedback for dedicating their channel to explaining jokes in such a manner.

OmegaManZero2 that just tells you how sad people are :/

For an entire culture that is damn near based solely on jokes, that's one way of putting it. (Well, for those extremists out there, that is.)

Oh my, they explained a joke, it's the end of the world.


why are people going after this channel for this one video, it's irrelevant

@Shameful Display probably saddened I do feel bad for kyle

I dont think people can complain that ol emps getting some heat for this. How do you think BTM felt when this one dropped?


me: lmao you r so raight

john whick: wholesome 100


@Lord Tachanka I'd say I do my best, but that'd definitely be an overstatement considering how much effort they put into misunderstanding the topic

@Akogiri You’re a Saint for replying to all of these poor people with closed ears and and no context or perspective. You get it

in style? A bit. In rethoric? Not really.


Utube poop is very nostalgic since I've first watched it 10 years ago


What do think about meme then and meme now?

(Jeez, I remember little bit old part of the internet, I feel old for thinking that, even though I am not really old)


Behind the Meme's mom reminds me of this one girl at school who always comes to school fresh off 420. This isn't really relevant at all, but it's something interesting I noticed.

She reminds me of that one kid who smokes blunts in the school bathroom and that also brings Monster in her backpack


he does a way better job though of explaining the memes and their origins competently though


lmao i used to be a fucking cunt of a commenter, you do good work brother


"Outsider" sounds like a nice way of calling someone a hipster.


Crying over someone explaining a joke online


Not often do you see random Cyriak clips in the wild.


For those who don’t give a shit, and mean ACTUALLY don’t give a shit about the term “normie” or “outsider,” and you are exploring content on your own accord, you are taking the step in the right direction.


I found this in the Danganronpa V3 soundtrack playlist wtf


Went the simpsons green to avoid copy right?


The fact he knew about contact cuck before Ian simped is funny


7:00 had to take off my headphones for a bit...


aw man. It's too bad fantano became a normie.


I was told I would lose brain cells by searching comments by newest... and I did

@George Liquor I can’t tell why I’m being roasted but, respect.

Yeah.. me too<br>There are so many stupid people too dumb to realize someone can have a serious passion on something they don’t consider serious and that it is something to be respected

Yeah.. me too
There are so many stupid people too dumb to realize someone can have a serious passion on something they don’t consider serious and that it is something to be respected


Anyone ever see a Logan Hub meme explained video? those were weird and fun


14:00

i am looking for this picture for a new meme i am making, anyone know where i can find it?


This is a great video, but the editing makes me think that you thought you were the peak of comedy when you just weren’t that funny.


I used to watch behind the meme because I didn't know what memes were


2017 normies and outsiders fight over what is the meaning of memes,and I am here just like why was earth created


I have a question, why is this video at the end of a danganronpav3 ost playlist


Doubt it. All memes nowadays try and do are be insanely “ironic” and rely heavily on a meta-satire type deal. It’s like one big competition for who can be “the funniest”

@sussedEEXZ it breaks my heart honestly. they seem like maybe they're having a resurgence.

I haven’t really laughed at a meme made after 2017. They’re so repetitive and interchangeable. Not to mention unfunny


why is this in a danganronpa ost playlist


I jumped out of my seat when I heard King Crimson


I like how you talk about the 90's with any sort of authority when  you were born in 1998. And I think there's a lot more crossover between normies and "outsiders" than you describe.

That’s like saying you can’t talk about literally any year before 1910 with authority because you weren’t alive in that time.


memes are cool cause they're contextual, basically hieroglyphics, if you see enough of a certain memestyle suddenly it just clicks, being literally told what it means is like explaining a joke.


We need a level 100 YouTube hero to fucking end btm

Joseph Stalin we need to call idubbz, the meme lord.


If you start a Patreon I’ll be your first one


My brother was so happy in the middle of the video that he started dancing on the floor

I don’t want to explain a joke, even if it is overused.  I’ll just give you a hint, flashing lights


> Anthony Fantano
> Intelligent
> ThE DrUmMiNg In FeAr InOcUluM wAs BaD


This is 100% truth
>normies deny that its the truth
This is fine.

LS 77 thank you for being generous towards my statement and took no retailiation

I guess you got a point videoworld Gaming

LS 77 technically speaking he is making a point on a opinion and therefor analytically is impossible to contain one lick of truth without just backing up his opinions

Yes,let's do it before he can destroy any more memes.

"I'm fine with the events currently unfolding right now"
(BTM passes 1M subs)
"That's ok..."


I not mammal I'm not dinosaur I'm a grogonops


This video has aged horribly, I can't believe I agreed with this video and unironically believed the outsider supremacy thing, fortunately I matured and so has emplemon

Many of the points Emp tried to make at the time was that Behind the Meme was making bad content. The normie vs outsider thing was really stupid, I gotta admit.


Why is this at the end of the Danganronpa V3 Soundtrack playlist? lol


I'm a behind the meme fan so when I saw this video I first thought it was just hate but after completely watching the video he does have some good points towards behind the meme.

Same thing, heck, I don't even watch behind the meme's videos anymore.

Elijah Mestre S e n t e n c e S h I f t I n g

Elijah Mestre reported for the first 6 words

Elijah Mestre finally a btm fan with common sense.

Elijah Mestre welcome, normie.  It is time to shed your normie habits and identity.


Jesus fucking Christ someone please tell me EmpLemon stops trying to blow out my fucking speakers 18 times per video


Welp, turns out I'm a normie since I hate earrape


Good video, I agree with it, but I’m glad you chilled with the earrape in newer videos because it’s gotten on my nerves


As a car guy I can say that, that automobile is not an auto...


>Be me
>I’m a normie but I don’t want to get exposed
>what do do...
>I know I’ll make my comment look like a greentext
>Am I cool yet?

What you basically do is just still be a normie. I don't really think many people even care anymore


Wow, this was an INCREDIBLY good rant video, you go on about how things Should be, and what YOU personally dislike about the content/creator. But instead of fully talking about how much you hate the content, you give REASONS instead of babbling on like a mindless idiot. And you made the video actually FUNNY like all of you other videos, it kinda relieves the stress/tension in the video for people who are BTM fans, which also, i am a fan of BTM, but i agree with over half of the things you say in this video. And also, you are HONEST and you ADMIT you will get hate for this, and you seem so down to earth, because you know you will get criticism from such a video like this. Truly a good rant.

Goes to show what an amazing guy/YouTuber EmpLemon is.

Also wanna say it kinda pisses me off that over 9K PEOPLE/BTM FANBOYS DISLIKED Like i said, i like BTM, but this is fucking ridiculous.

Update 17k

DivineDemise finally a long comment that's not a hate comment

DivineDemise Its right to give the reason why BTM content was shitty, about the content is shit way to explain.


29.000th comment.<br>Ok a few years after it happened, I'll finally check why the channel got killed off.

29.000th comment.
Ok a few years after it happened, I'll finally check why the channel got killed off.


Too many random loud noises, couldn't make it far


The dislikes are a bunch of normies that got triggered for being called normies.

Edit: Found one of the butthurt normies that got triggered by this comment.

i feel like this comment i found on this video sums this up pretty good "I think I was confused as to what BTM meant. But it's just Behind The Meme.

I do think however that it is, as they say, a dick move. It's censoring people expressing your opinion, and if you try to defend BTM in any slight way, you just get called a normie chad yourself."

edit: the context to the "I do think however that it is, as they say, a dick move. It's censoring people expressing your opinion" part was about this reporting comments that btm made

The Ranter you do know that winning an argument on YouTube is like winning the Special Olympics?

Mason Williams you said your opinion, i win the argument guys


Basically this channel back then :

Normies / normal people : bad

Neckbeards and autistic grown adults that have nothing better to do except watching memes and goofy vids : Good


I came for midnight club music but didn't find it


bruh
mans said he know memes yet not 4chan
4chan is not a meme i know but the mfer should have known not to mess with them if the vids he makes are about a section of the internet


Overusing memes?

Heh. In the Philippines, it's quite normal for normies to do that.

Except, you crank it up 10 times and share it on Facebook just to try and gain clout

literally every normal filipino that think’s they’re funny on facebook posts generic memes alot. I would know because I am a filipino, Im unfortunately white washed.


Man, i just wish Behind the Meme is more creative, he has the most resourceful content but yet fail to demonstate it, like the "Sing it at my funeral" meme, man, that guy spend half of video explaining what is a funeral and put some lame joke

Kyutora So if someone destroys some people's passion you don't hate him?

Terminal Velocity yes and no. Yes, he deserves criticism and no, he doesn't deserve hate.

Jessica Steward Because not understanding the joke makes it so much funnier, right? Actually no. If you want to laugh at a joke, you have to understand or otherwise it is not possible. If you don't understand the joke THEN it's ruined.

Master Rayquaza If you explain a joke it ruins said joke.

I had to watch BTM when "cash me outside" was a thing, because it was so stupid and spontaneous.

Master Rayquaza But most of the time he uses wrong information,  and then he can't take any fucking criticism.  He deserves the fucking hate because he acts like he knows everything but can't help people learn shit

Binh Phuong Nguyen that's the point its just people suggesting memes to be explained

Master Rayquaza do i need half of the video explaining things that everybody already know, some memes are easy to explain

Binh Phuong Nguyen he just explains it in the most easy-to-understand way sure his jokes are lame... But does he really deserve this much hate?, no he just explains stuff, which is the reason WHY he's called behind the meme

(Yes I took my time to make this)

And the one time BTM explained the concept of Pokemon in his Nebby video. That was when I stopped tolerating.

Link have any reason why assuming me a "normie"?


The fact that you use the words normie, and memescape unironnically makes me cringe so hard

This was in 2017, when it was being used.

The fact that you use the word in your comment unironnically makes me cringe so hard


Very good content but you are not good at narrating. Your voice isn't totally grating like the channel you're covering here at least, I'd put behind the meme right around TGFM as far as voices that make me want to shoot myself


@Staringcorgi6 subreddits like r/dankmemes are but there are good ones like okbr and dogelore


God this video is so embarrassing jesus christ


Ignore the extreme timegap lol but king crimson y e s


If only you did this to someone else in2020


Thank you Emplemon. I was once an (semi) idiot normie. But when I first watched your video in 2017, it basically changed my entire meme perspective forever. You taught me what 4chan is and what a normie is and now trying to ever learn how to an outsider. Thanks Emplemon.

Same Here Sir, though I saw this in 2018

Mario king7 He was the YouTuber that taught me a new and better meme perspective. If it weren't for him and the rest of 4chan, I would be dabbing autistically while spinning a fucking Fidget spinner while also singing despasito. I genuinely thank the meme community for changing my life in a good way and ending my misery of trying to fit in the norm culture.

Mario king7 welcome to the internet and thanks for diving into the world of memes and the biggest universe this world has to offer


This video is actually somewhat cringy. Not kidding, gatekeeping jokes is dumb.

I didn’t think so. I adore this video from the YTP style editing.

@Brandon great. Applause. The problem is that before he destroys the guy's life because he couldn't stand that somebody was getting more views than him.

He changed his content so much from this point


(Why is this in the Danganronpa v3 OST playlist?)

this is the trial and execution of Behind the meme


Pewdiepie does the same thing and it’s even worse because his community is a huge group of normies and redditors

@Voidy pewdiepie actively murders any new meme that comes out.

he actually does it right though, that's the difference.

pewds explained memes well. behind the meme's problem is because he explained them poorly.


yeets self into Wikipedia
Siense knolege

Getting mad at a hate comment from 4chan is the equivalent of getting mad at a bear shitting in the woods. PERFECT FUCKING ANALOGY!!! You earned a sub--but wait you hurt my whittle ears with da earbwape. (Jk I've always been subbed ;) )


13:10 I’m just gonna sub for this

Edit: was just stoned


Memes in the 2000's = Jokes and references on forums<br>Memes now = Shitty jokes on Twitter

Memes in the 2000's = Jokes and references on forums
Memes now = Shitty jokes on Twitter


Trust me. One day, Susan Wojcicki is going to do what Behind the Meme did. Lash out at criticism on YouTube Creators.

@Obscurus Was she influenced by Putin by any chance

From a year in the future. She has and the dislike count is gone. You are right.


Emp, you are my favorite YouTuber, but this is your only bad video.

@Crone sure we're not, but that's not because that guy put memes in his point, it's because the point itself is dumb. However, here, his rhetoric is actually cohesive and I'm pretty sure that this video could be just as successful as the others if said rhetoric had a bit different of a context

@Akogiri yeah I get it when it comes to his point abt meme culture but he sounds like an ultra turbo virgin and I can’t see anyone defending that type of behavior irl. We’re not gonna take a guy seriously talking about funko pops and being elitist abt it as “passionate” and “sincere” so the same logic can be applied here, bc honestly who tf takes memes seriously other than Redditors.

@Crone the fact that it's aged isn't indicative of it being a bad video. Sure some parts of it might be a little overstimulating, but it's sincere and passionate AND he makes a good point.

@Akogiri most of it reeks of mid 2010’s culture which isn’t representative of his content anymore, yeah yeah ik there’s are also 50% of it being abt an analysis but trying to unironically analyze why meme culture is dying while shoving earrape and ytp’s in my face isn’t a good indication that you’re making a good point. Besides emp’s other vids are clearly superior.


This man is ruining the internet as a whole.<br>(Behind The Meme not Lord Lemon)

This man is ruining the internet as a whole.
(Behind The Meme not Lord Lemon)

Woah, I said "screw you?" That's sad.  I'm not gonna delete it or anything, but man am I disappointed in myself.

Well 4Chan loves to troll, destroying meme culture would be a pretty good one haha.

Billy The Helicopter I have seen so much disease in this thread. Can everyone take a moment to stop insulting people to have a insightful conversation? No? Fine time for a flame war.

I read through this comment thread and would like to summarize:

(This comment is long)

"Normies": normal people who don't know a lot about memes. They are not completly glued to their computer and are actually productive. They were drawn to the amazing innovation of the internet but it was not part of their daily lives. These people are the good workers who make money and contribute to society.

"Outsiders": People that have discovered the strongest adhesive known to man and have used it to weld their computers to their face. They are kind of like a ball and chain on the ankle of progress and were heavily ridiculed in the past due to their uselessness. However,  the internet opened up to the "Outsiders" and they felt special until "Normies" came and shown "outsiders" how useless they were again. Getting tired of the ridicule, outsiders came up with an insult for those more successful people: normies. These people are the fat teens/ young adults who live with their parents and don't contribute at all. Again,  ball and chain.

Behind the meme: A normie who wants to educate other normies because he and others are tired of being ridiculed for being a normie.

All the people bothered by Behind the Meme: Outsiders who are afraid that,  by educating normies,  the outsiders will be seen as useless again.

(Disclaimer: I don't care about Behind the Meme, but I don't like it when people like the "outsiders" become stuck up narcissists for petty things)

Billy The Helicopter, Lord lemon not behind the meme*

If I was a normie, I would like Behind The Meme.

Memes are like half the internet and Behind The Meme comes up acting like our saviour despite everything he does.


why is this on a danganronpa v3 ost playlist?


Can't believe younger me took this shit seriously. Now I see how pointless it all is to argue over. Yeah, there is still a mainstream, but the great thing about the internet is you can SURF AROUND AND CONSUME WHAT EVER YOU WANT. Hope Emplemon has also grown after the two videos he made surrounding BTM, seems like he has.

Nah. His criticisms are justified. It’s just BTM attracted the wrong kind of audience. Although going as far to attack someone viciously was what went too far. This video still slaps imo.

@Kaizo Uchiha Well I'm not an actual mapper, I was just kind of a fan when I made my account and I'm too lazy to change it now

@Vladimir Yanchev <br>Didn't expect a mapper would be here.

@Vladimir Yanchev
Didn't expect a mapper would be here.

Welcome to WatchMojo.com and today we're counting down our top 10 memes from 2018

Bulgarian Mapping except he didn’t commit suicide

Yeah except nobody at WatchMojo has commited suicide.


i wonder what BTM is doing now, i have completley forgotten about him lol

I think he completely abandoned his channel.


Man, I really miss Anthony Fantano's meme review. RIP in peace, sweet prince.

So what I believe there to be is multiple levels of memers. One is people that have casual interst in memes. Two are people who think they are hard core meme a leans and shit on casual enjoyers by calling em normies. And three the master tear of loser. Who just enjoy memes create and share and aren't total assholes about it.

P.s. the third does not exist.

Max Chamberlain thanks for explaining your point to such an indepth level! i truly walked a way from this terrible comment with a hightened understanding of what it truly meant.


Why did you show black ops instead of mw3


Not gonna lie, this video is pretty cringeworthy watching it now. Am glad to see you've really matured since then, now make banger video after banger video!

@DJ Swaggot some people in the comment section  all because of a video by wavywebsurf about behind the meme that's who not sure if there still trying to cancel him but most likely they have given up considering I have not seen those comments on his newest video about Mac tonight to answer your question

@Zachary Allbrook Who is trying to cancel him?

Unfortunately people are trying to cancel him over a 4 year old video I mean yeah this video did age poorly but people can change in 4 years they aren't always the same person as they were 4 years ago and yet they are gonna still try to cancel him ugh


Lesson in meme culture is behind the meme but good.


Hey Emp. Just circling back to this classic. I don't think I noticed the first time around how beautifully you constructed this. Everything, down to the fucking Pink Floyd instrumental toward the end. Keep fighting this fight for our peoples. You might just be the guy... /ourguy/ ... who can give us a voice.

Fight your our people? This guy put so much attention on BTM that the poor guy got doxxed and sent fucking death threats. I can’t respect a person who does that.


The last time something fought memes, they lost the US Presidential election.


What's this doing in the Danganronpa V3 Ost Playlist?

@Hugh Neutron it was too good for the main game

@DashN

Is this excluded from the main chapters?


Literally the only time I've actually learned something from KYM was when i was first getting into the SiIvaGunner fandom way back in October.


The victim shot him self in the foot by faking a suicide.


The fact that this one little channel is "ruining the memescape" is hilarious to me

Like wtf even is a memescape I thought memes were just stupid jokes you post online

The fact people are taking this seriously is absurd

@Omabat ok so pewdiepie killing memes and even being self aware about it is just fine then even while he has more views

one """"little"""" channel

do you know what a "view" is?

He literally is a YTP, and the reason he took this seriously was because it felt like he was mentioning that ALL YTP's are similar to the ones back in 2009-2012 or so


am I the only one here that found this video at the end of a Danganronpa V3 OST playlist?


Very good explanation; I already love the channel. Thanks for being a voice.


Sorry but does anybody know what the song is at 20:46 I know his music is in the description but I didnt see it. Thanks I would appreciate it!


Ngl this pretty cringe now. Like I agreed fully when I watched this years ago, but now every time I hear “I’m an outsider” or “normie” I’m just like… bruh that’s more cringe than BTM

@Hart and they were all the most normal looking dudes in high school too


I dont really care if im a normie or n outsider but i dont care about bland videos whoever watch them can watch them, if they dont do jack shit to bother me then i dont "hate" normies.


At least the mom was better than his usual content


Well nowadays meme are oversued and litteraly last 3 days that why it aged like that


Not saying it isn't true. But there certainly is good content creators who use the medium to its advantage, like it or not, you can feel the elitism in his portrayal as if anything like that would automatically be immediately bad, for memes, when to some extent I would say it has given rise to certain niche people to find each other and create their own content and trends. In a way, the term "when everyone is special, no one will be" actually has weight because more and more normies are becoming more niche in certain regards and have their own sub-cultures.


Your going to grow doing things like this. Your a meme YouTuber that actually knows about memes. Keeps it up, it will pay off.


I tried to look up that parody Anthony Fantano made of BehindTheMeme, but I can't seem to find it. All I can find is BehindTheMeme's stupid response video. Anyone have a link of the video Anthony Fantano made?

believe it’s lost due to all of his videos being demonetized and he had to shut down the channel cause of that


Bro do you want to fucking murder my ears


got the joke but taking my like back.. so much disregard for some sort of spectrum where you should keep the volume.

not once, not twice, not even a third time was enough. you really needed to make sure everyone watching this video tries to convince himself to accept this stu.id cheap volume shift just because why? wtf dude...  liked every one of your videos so far but this was pretty poor even though you are trying your best to give people a reason to lock themselfs into weak constructs of groups like normies and internet heros xD

@Toasted Crayon as much as i like unasked online mentorship i am calm. i am especially happy someone answered my comment. more reaction i could not have hoped for. i had way more time to descripe what i wanted to say and reassert my opinion. it would not be honest to only write fanboy comments as i do often enough. sometimes it is ok to tell whats wrong even though it is not liked very much

@Worxt it’s not a big deal you just don’t like a joke he made calm down

@Toasted Crayon  true, humor is subjektive. it probably has a lot to do with my own preferences.

the reaction is not really a panic or jumping one its more like a annoyance that makes me twist my face because its unpleasant. if i recall it correctly i counted around 7 different ear rapes. the first one would have been informative. the second one could have been counted as joke. the third one would be to much but i would have accepted it but using it 7 times is nothing someone does to an audience he cares about especially because he even talks about how only the cool kids realize that ear rapes are cool and those who don`t like it are not the targed audience.. well i think i belong to this part of the audience he does not even want :P

@Worxt it actually does have comedic value you just don’t find it funny, it’s funny because it makes you jump or panic.  He also doesn’t overuse the joke repetition is a common practice he uses it multiple times yes, but not to the point where he uses it every other sentence

@Toasted Crayon my whole point is that emplemon has really good videos but this ear rape has no comedic value its just bad

*ps: especially because he repeats that "joke" several times.. thats just like someone shouting you in the face for a comedic purpos ... its not funny its bad

@Worxt the ear rape is for comedic purposes, its too loud you say? That’s the fucking point

@Mercury no i am exaggerating a little bit but still think it is really not good to use ear rapes several times. i write nice commenatries and no one complains... it  would not be fair to not tell my honest critic only because people do not like critic

usually if we cite someone else we should try to not change the meaning. i did not say i can not hear the rest at all if i turn it down, i can not hear it comfortably. try it out its pretty reasonable

@Mercury would be interesting to talk to you in person only to surprisingly shout every 10th word only to get some reaction out of you. yes you can go away but still the question remains.. why? whats the point of getting on peoples nerves..

@Mercury great idea but you did not get my point. i can turn down the volume but then i can hardly hear the more tuned down momentes comfortably.

if the whole video would be loud ok but its only for short periods of time but repeatedly

changed my mind after the probably seventh ear rape ... dislike to go


good that im a furry we are ALL OUTSIDERS cuz we are ''strandge'' to the normies

ya we kinda got yeeted to the side. so now we just take people in that where also yeeted

Lmao that’s not what the outsiders are that’s the little dot two miles away from the original graph.


I like how when someone with the same popularity as him is "nOrmiE" he harrases them, but when someone like pewdiepie does it he bats an eye.

@Scott Williams just because you don't personally care about meme culture doesn't mean that others don't want it to be cancer like it is now. It used to not be like this, there was always shitty memes but there was also good memes too such as steamed hams. This simply just doesn't happen nowadays and I feel this is why.

@john sweeney god I fucking hate the word normie in my opinion meme culture isn't that special since every other week a new meme is made for example the joe exotic meme as soon as I saw that episode I knew it would be a meme and reddit did not disappoint and if were gonna be real here most memes you see are from popular TV shows,movies,games,celebrities and youtubers and most memes nowadays aren't that hard to grasp on the context, also I wasn't talking about the top 10 rank memes of 2016 I just listed those video cause those was the one I watched sorry if I confused you

@Scott Williams if you're talking about the top ten dank memes of 2016 video then that's not really fair since that's intended purpose is to basically be a recap of the entire year rather than a full on history lesson of each meme involved as that would reach up to like 1 hour mark when you account for the fact that there were a total of ten memes in the video. Also while misuse is inevitable, i don't think it's entirely useless. I know I used to watch behind the meme videos back in 2016 and I know a lot of people did, regularly getting over 1 million views per episode, if it did a proper job of actually teaching meme culture that could've lead to better memes coming out as a result of more people being involved in meme culture (more people = more potential memes being made, obviously). I just know when we had this anti normie culture memes were better with stuff like steamed hams and you don't really see anything creative like that anymore as the anti normie sentiment has died down. I know this whole topic is incredibly cringe but it's still kinda true at the end of the day from what I can tell.

@john sweeney that's the thing I've watched 3 of his videos so far and he just gave a brief explanation for example the "to be continued" meme and the "snoop dogg 420" meme and memes always get overused regardless and mis-use of memes only really happen with older people but gate keeping memes is really ridiculous when you sit and think about it

@Scott Williams *While doing a shit job of it, resulting in people who watch the video spamming the meme, using it incorrectly, and then just as quickly as it popped up, it stops being funny.

@Scott Williams you missed the point, the problem wasn't that he was presenting information about memes, it was that he was doing a bad job at doing it.

This video is from years ago, he never intended the backlash against Knowyourmeme to get as far out of control as it did, and he did a followup video where he basically told everyone to cool it. This video was not harassment or at least wasn't intended to be. And pretty much everything he would have to say about Pewdiepie doing the same thing has already been said here, his points have already been made, so there's nothing more to say.


i was an outsider , pushed to be a Norme ,,, now im Back to being an outsider. Rip norme me in 2002


this video changed how I saw youtube forever


I'm extremely glad that I never watched him on my first time on the internet


I would argue that Animeme is/was worse but by a very slim margin.


I've noticed behind the meme only tells you where and when the meme originated but doesn't tell you the true meaning behind the meme itself!

Because memes have no memeing. Some may say that memes give memeing to their life but they do not, and it's all a big lie, because memes have no true memeing.


I know this was 4 years ago but I can’t believe I talked like this. Talking about Normies and shit. I’m happy I moved past it

@mr freakout I don’t mean to sound pretentious. And you are right but what I said stands

@Big Yoshi dude this is a video about memes why are you making a pretentious comment trying to sound deep

When we face god. Is it gonna matter if we were in the majority or not? No it isn’t. All that’s gonna matter is how we treated each other and how we loved god.

@YMP I feel like your missing a large point of why he would even do that. Its just over your head. Even if they are dated it probably went over your head back then too.

@Big Yoshi "I make meme compilations, Consider subscribing if you like them" this you? See normies should be embarrassed about talking like this, because this video isn't for you. You're the normie. Big yoshi? ok.

@YMP idk the jimmy kernel one he was right as that show is like the Wii U

it had no targeted demographic,so it wasn t politics neither interview show,just a mix bag

This video is just terrible gatekeeping when you look at it in retrospect, and it’s frankly embarrassing, some of his points are good like the way BTM badly explains memes and his general lazy style, but his thesis statement about normies is so cringey.

Most of Emplemon’s old videos have aged so badly and are perfect snapshots of the rekt-SJW era of YouTube. Especially the Jimmy Kimmel video. I’m not a fan of Jimmy Kimmel at all, he’s incredibly unfunny but most of that video is just Emp getting mad over Kimmel making jokes about Trump and pulling up old videos of Kimmel doing more problematic jokes. I sure hope Emp has changed and matured since these videos, since his new ones are pretty good.


Funny now looking bad at this how cringe this video is. Who says normie? Lmao


@Eater of children not really i just like knowing what the inside joke is without having to half guess at it like a normal person

@Kurtis Gibson Or you want everything spoon fed like a baby

@Kurtis Gibson you seem like the person to play mario odyssey on assist mode

@Staringcorgi6 then why do you suggest i read it i'm certian you'd never be able to find your way in to every fandom on your own without ever being told they exist or where to find them if memes are inherntly sharing cuture why do you feel the need to tell me I should go and watch someone that doesn't respect the memes nor my time it's like asking you to learn about hollow knight from matpat

@Kurtis Gibson I wouldn't learn memes from behind the meme because 1 he waste his time making stupid jokes instead of teaching something and he reads of know your meme

@Staringcorgi6 then why don't you teach it if it's that big of an issue or help point out people that do outside of santano i don't know anyone

@Kurtis Gibson writing and reading is complicated that's why you learn about in school but behind the memes videos are boring as fuck school lesson that teached you how to sleep with your eyes open

@Kurtis Gibson it's easy to find information because you have Google right search up what meme you want to use and how to

@Staringcorgi6 since you know what google is i advise you try searching "decency" as i'm fairly certian if everyone told you to find information for yourself you'd never learn how to read or write besides isn't a large respectful audence always a good thing in a fandom?

@Staringcorgi6 If it was that easy i would of maybe you should stop being so eltiste about the content you consume yourself i just want to understand and be a part of the community in a way that doesn't take away from the origional media or maybe you should just go back to complaining about the behind your meme fans


This video is pretty much the beginning of something large. If it blows up enough, it may mean more content creators willing to tackle this divisive personality that is BTM. Heck, Internet Historian has repeatedly stated his interest in going to war on his Discord server- Not just the drawing on the rules channel, no, there was one time when the whole server was ironically renamed to "BEHIND THE MEME OFFICIAL". It's clear that BTM (I believe his name is Kyle? IIRC that's what some investigation of the old Shidam! channel led to) has made a lot of enemies, and I hope this video helps motivate more people to fight back. Excellent job Lemon, keep it up.

He has no plans for it AFAIK, but he <b>really</b> wants to. I haven't been to his discord for a while though.

He has no plans for it AFAIK, but he *really* wants to. I haven't been to his discord for a while though.

Internet historian is going to do a video on him?


@OmniFluxx No you can say normie, I am referring to what outsiders used when normies started using the term normie.

@DrewPicklesTheDark wait you can’t say “normie” on YT anymore? Wtf?😂😂 I mean it’s fucking dumb to use but not ban worthy

The video is 5 years old, and Youtube would have banned him if he used the (then) newer term for "normie".


I was genuinely pissed off when he said sentence shifting


It's a shame you didn't mention pewdiepie even once. I dont care if you like his content, hes still actively killing memes

Pleedi dude the Video came out three years ago... in 2017...

@Pleedi I used to like pewds content. Its becoming more and more for younger audience


YES! We needed more BTM hate! Thank you for doing us this service, EmpLemon. You're one of the greats.

we don't need hate, we just need to explain to him what hes doing wrong, and this is how to fix what you're doing wrong. uncle dane put it pretty well when he was explaining how some of reddits users didn't have the best outlook on tf2 having broken updates: "let's cut out this "I REJECT THIS! BRING OUT THE PITCHFORKS!" mentality" Uncle Dane -2016. BTM might not listen, but that doesn't mean that we shouldn't try. hate only makes more hate, and for the lack of a better term, in a "hatewar" no one wins.

Yeah but

Nah, didn't liked the guy anyway


Those who say normie unironically should go out and touch some grass, its just a meme jfc it would die less than a month or so

@Point It yeah we know, but you didn’t have to go hard at the dude replying to you. Istg everyone is using “go touch grass” phrase like it’s gonna change their entire world view on smth bc u sound like a Twitter user rn

@Sillimant Dude, I indulged in memes ever since like 2010, its all just for laughs and kicks of it. Idk man, bullying  and doxing someone that likes to do things for the fun of it is fucking disgusting, just ignore the dude if you don't like his content, and ffs "bEaFore yOU nOrmieS bArGed iN", not this shit again, its just a MEME, is it just a big thing to you that you harassed someone for it? Grow up and get a life outside of the internet

This video is from 2017, back then it wasn't so "cringe" to use that word. The internet in general was kinda different.<br>I guess he was right about the meme culture being overtaken by people that don't even try to understand it

I have noticed memes dying a lot faster... And I notice some kids in my school trying to be a part of this meme culture but they do so by creating ifunny accounts and just steal shit and fake laugh at things they don't understand. It's kind of annoying at this point.

Yeah I checked out iFunny and it was nothing but bae memes, stale doggos, and dead memes


I can't find people with the same opinion as me on the internet...<br>My opinion is that 1.14 is terrible and ruined Minecraft

I can't find people with the same opinion as me on the internet...
My opinion is that 1.14 is terrible and ruined Minecraft

The textures are fucking nasty and a very big reason I don't use the new updates (Also plus 1.13 and on are kind of laggy for me)

The new textures are better from a design standpoint.


Imagine thinking there is a meme culture that needs to be delicately preserved and protected so much so that you nearly drive an innocent and once happy man into taking his own life.

That series was a skit. Nothing actually happened.

@Zan Molecules yeah, when i first made that comment I missed the "nearly", sorry about that

@IIFan2001 I know I’m a month late, but thats why I said nearly. I knew he really didn’t but there’s no way he didn’t at least consider it a few times

@Neurono C. oh yeah definitely, I believe he said the video series showed real emotions that he felt at some point. Also I just wanna say this because the Pepe pfp along with the comment might make some people think I'm a 4chan user (they still think it's 2016, still say "normie" unironically): I'm not defending this video, I just wanted to point out the fact that the video series was fake

@IIFan2001 Poor guy definitely got mindbroken though. Emp even tried to defend the guy when his fanbase started turning on him.

Behind The Meme is alive, that whole video series wasn't real, he did it to kill his channel


person : wait dosn´t this feels wrong , like ... we going suddenly...

Emplemom floating nearby

EmpLemon :Downwards ? ...get used to it

Why the fuck is this video at the end of a Danganronpa V3 ost playlist? I love this video but still wtf


Why the hell are normies watching a video title MEME Theory? Did you think you were going to enjoy the content? Im sure there are plenty of Tik-Tok dances and dog videos you could be watching instead.


The wet breakfast hypothetically remember because norwegian expectedly murder out a literate australia. glistening glorious, flashy punch


Oh no, people are taking memes seriously

Alan Rendon this isn't too serious to be bad tbh

memes are jokes<br>don t take them seriusly

memes are jokes
don t take them seriusly

Somemong So, what's your point. How is your comment relevant to this video?

scarce gets memes - hey what's up guys it scarce here

Derk The Jerk 720 says the guy with the Doge profile picture


Warning: dont filter comments to newest first. You will lose brain cells


ha ha loud noises and random things is funny


Homer I don't have pizza oh wait uuuuur I don't have dounts


In 2017, I wanted to know why Behind The Meme was so hated, since no one gave good arguments to why. If I watched this video back then, I would be satisfied, instead I watched it 3 years later when I forgot his existence.


this dude is actually using King Crimson. This dude is a boss


I remember when I started seeing and using memes, there were formats that had been in use for years, and continued to be used for years. Now, a format gets burned out in a matter of months. Every time I see one of my co-workers say "check out this meme I just discovered!" I know it's time to move to greener pastures.
*Cue Simpsons "he's already dead" clip*

I actually was a fan of Behind the Meme before I watched this. Now I see how bad it is.


"With these outdated jokes and my unfunniness, I can continue to run memes into the ground until they're destroyed, while masquerading as a typical YouTuber explaining them. Just watch me, EmpLemon... I'll explain memes with my right hand, and explain unrelated backstories with my left... I'll take a meme... Heh... And KILL IT!"

Content Cuck? he called it 3 years in advance, the mad lad


I remember two year ago coming to this video as a normie fan of BTM and thinking “fuck this guy” and funny enough two years later I’m stilled subbed  to this downward spiral and BTM has been long vacant from my subscriptions


His impact in undeniable. I didn't even know about memes until I found his channel.


I did like the video, but my main issue with it was the analogy used to describe normies, which was kind of shit. For someone who already knew what a normie was, the explanation of the word wasn’t necessary for my understanding, but for someone who didn’t understand, the analogy was about as good as the explanation of YTPs by BTM. The explanation afterwords helped clear up the definition for those who didn’t understand, but for the introduction to the topic and the word, it was stupid and nonsensical.


"welcome back to another episode of content cuck" unintentionally prophetic


After watching the defend of BHM and watching this again just show how much he regret about attacking BHM and show how much he grown after 1 year, he change from meme lord to people that have feeling for other


Lessons in meme culture

~free sponsorship to a channel that is truly the “meme explanation” channel done right”


after returning to this video years later, i realized emplemon is like those redditors with a supersized ego

@Sopho <br>He's right though, the entire normie vs outsider narrative is completely like those people who think they're better than others for not enjoying content most other people do, which in of itself is egotistical and pretentious.

4Chan’s impact on internet culture is absolutely incredible


The Mama-meme part made me implode.

And the 4chan part made me fucking explode.


Chapter 6: Behind the Meme vs 4chan, "Oh you fool, you utter fool"


LIMC (lessons in meme culture) is pretty good as well. (i think?) there's not much filler, he just jumps in and explains them with ACCURACY.

Plus, he actually explains WHERE memes came from and, yes, no filler. Also no obnoxious youtuber voice and obnoxious stock music every video.


My favorite part of behind the meme was going and reading the comments.  Nothing better than seeing an entire group triggered all at once.... every upload.  But man those videos were bad.


If I were to introduce someone to YTP, I’d probably start with a Spongebob edit


The Virgin Behind the Meme vs the Chad Memelogia Tuga.


This is the start of memes truly being taken by the normies like all other media


What does it really mean to "disrespect [v.tr.] meme culture"?   Does it refer to ruining everyone's fun by telling Mum and Dad that Fonzie puts his thumb up and says "Eeeeyyyy!"  So now Mum and Dad go around saying "Eeeeyyyy!"  Do you care that much about The Fonz?  You talented innovative outsider!


revisiting this video and I forgot how good emperorlemon’s background music is


It sucks that Anthony’s thatistheplan channel was removed thankfully there’s a reupload channel


In regards to Anthony Fantano, this video has aged terribly.

Revolver Ocelot Of course you don’t, you were most likely part of the reason he quit mentally destroyed.

@SnanS TV He's definitelt fine. don't you know what hoax means

I would like to add my perspective about this whole theme here, just remember though that I prefer to dedicate most of free time on making subliminal videos currently so you won't get a full video response from me in the next two months. (And yes I love philosophy)

Anyway, I seriously believe that anyone can become anything they want if they do choose the "hard" way. Normies can become outsiders, vice-versa and some people even be a weird mix of those two groups. I understand these are trends and the majority of people will stay in the normies' category, but I felt like my whole argument tree needed some more emphasis and explanations so let's go.

First and foremost, let me tell you that I am part of the outsiders but with some curiosity towards normies. Yes, I do exist, but why though? Because I am a autistic INTP-T " 16personalities.com " personality which, in his quest towards self improvement and obsessive curiosity to understand more and more, get to care alot about what makes successes+failures so I can learn from these. And normies, by making so many errors in their methodologies, are really useful to the "outsiders" when they are actually understood in the right fashion, which turns out to be think tanks of lessons to learn from and iterate upon instead of doing all of that research/introspection exclusively on yourself. I understand the normies creates shitty social situations more often than not, but that's also plenty of lessons and ideas pre-iterated, which in turn makes you knowledgeable enough to teach other people (perhaps some of those will be curious normies, so you actually help the bigger picture) about those same mistakes.

Second point, I would like to point out that some normie individuals may be interested in become outsiders or at least understanding their media properly. For example, I have a brother which turns out to be a normie. But as he grows older, he definitely have gotten to respect me and the outsider media so much that he does get vastly interested in the original old Marvel comics and that sometimes we share some weird YT stuff on our TV. Just remember that he's not autistic like me and my other brother, which would be problematic if we weren't a somewhat nuclear (and closely knitted) family and weren't from around the same generation, as two Zillenials and a Gen Z sound like the same gen here.

Yeah, you can see where I am going and I happened to fall out of ideas.

Feel free to comment me anything under my comment, I seriously recommend watching the whole video throughout and I really appreciate all you, including you comrade EmpLemon from my southern border's country.
