I think there’s another channel that, on the surface to behind the meme: lessons in meme culture. Could you look at it? You’ve changed my mind on BTM, I want to be sure on what you think of LIMC.

i think by this point honestly emps mentality has changed so much that im not even sure if he would even care by this point, it was kinda interesting to see him mature like that, by this point he had already developed his documentary-style content but it wouldnt be until around a year from this vid where his mentality would somewhat change and truely became what it is now around the year after that

@MrMormon I felt the two were similar and as I know emplemon knows a lot about memes, I was curious about his opinion


Please help me I used to be an outsider but I have become a normie and I need help. Please direct me twords a place for me to become one of you guys again

Call McDonalds and call them stupid and then hang up, I don't think anyone has ever done that and that'll make you not normie and you'll be funny in the process

Go to 4chan and ask how to not be a normie.


I really am glad that The Right Opinion talked about this. Behind the Meme had no right to be destroyed by this.

so I watched the right opinion video on this and he seems like a cool guy, gave him a sub. But he agreed with most of emplemons points, that he responded poorly (or not at all) to criticism, and that he endangered he ecosystem of memes while being disillusioned of where his standing on the topic was. The only major flaw I can find with this vid is that emp blames it entirely on btm, while there were more factors. I don't understand how the right opinion defended him, he ends he video saying that he can't really make an argument on his behalf due to him refusing to step out of his comfort zone. The right response would include being hurt, but also trying to unserstand the motivation, and growing as a result. Did he deserve it? As a person, he meant no wrong. But this video has every right to exist as a piece of criticism that could have been beneficial to the channels very growth. I'm Germanpogostick and in this essay I will


when you watch 32 minutes and 25 seconds and thought it was 10 minutes


People who unironically say normies are normies( this isn’t targeted to emplemon by the way cause I’m assuming he is using it ironically)

It's because people (probably actual normies) misuse the word to the point that it's cringe. Although actual normies do exist and we need a term for them.

if i'm not mistaken, the term "normie" just aged horribly, and at the time emplemon used this word with proper context to refer to these "normies", or i'm probably wrong


YTPs are made for cheap laughs with a “deep meaning” that would make a Wesleyan grad jizz.


some day, students will read about memes on history books


I personally don't think his content was a problem and I hope he decides to return.

@Andy Blanton he was doing bad job and double it down with his lack of self awareness. He will be an equivalent of meme compilation, nothing more with that ignorance.

He was doing a bad job "just" explaining the history of memes, but he had a lot of potential.


People are calling this video dated, but no doubt it still has it's punches. 12:53 for example will always be funny


4:05 Thanks for summing up my my annoying mainstream citizen of a school and my teacher tryna talk about the "wild web" side of shite, him tryna talking about it is kinda cringey and weird cuz you would get called out as "clinically insane" like,  when you and us know about all that stuff... Well yous get the idea


Why did I find this on a Danganronpa V3 Ost playlist 😂😂

@Juicy Coochiefruit you're right, THIS IS FORESHADOWING

nora lol this must be for the next U P C OM I N G gAme


I love this video, but only have one disagreement with it, but it doesn't really concern BTM. The part about outsiders applying themselves, and getting and getting a higher grade never really made sense to  me. What if said subject that is being taught is something uninteresting and will not help said person in their career pursuits? For example, I love history. I always want to know more about the politics and nations of the past, in this case subjects such as math and certain sciences will not be of use to me, since I want to get a PHD in history, and become a Historian.

However, regarding BTM, I found his content uninteresting.


HAHAHAH! Why is this on the end of Danganronpa V3 ost playlist XDD, I can't stop laughing for some reason

yeah... I was just listening to the ost and then I got an jumpscare


Normies like old memes or outdated outsiders constantly grab onto a new meme and when it gets even a tad bit stale we throw it away -definition or some shit about differences


SIREX__ HOLY SHIT what is that meme XDXDX so funny Xd im gonna watch behind the meme to understand it 😂😂


I just want to put this out here a couple years later since we've seen your metamorphosis from someone who used to be a pretty decent pooper to now where you do stuff like this more often... People often when they do things especially in a creative medium tend to shift focus a lot due to what's going on around them. My guess is Emp got tired of pooping and wanted to do something EASIER.

As long as his editing stays tight, I don't see what the problem is. Its not a bad thing for people to shift the focus of their content. He has the experience, skill, and perspective to produce good commentary


I’m confused, what was so bad about behind the meme while lessons in meme culture is accepted


The dynamic cupcake behaviourally spill because boundary metrically list at a peaceful century. weary, billowy polyester


It was kind of bold of you to straight up say that people into the weird, nerdy and obscure are often more impactful to the world than those who thrive on the mainstream. Makes me feel kind of vindicated since I was often bullied in my youth for finding lots of mainstream entertainment (though not all of it) uninteresting, to the point where I desperately craved to be a normie just to be accepted. You brought up some good points in this video and it's nice to know that the football and rap worshipping normies from my youth were the ones really holding society back.


Just recently discovered you and I completely support you on your opinions and no one has seem to noticed the amount of Pink Floyd music you use and I love you for it, Keep it up!


On the topic of documenting internet memes, Encyclopædia Dramatica served and still serves that function as well, though the nature of ED means it'll probably remain purely for outsiders at least for a while longer.

Memes are the most important thing in the internet!


rewatching, i love how you put Samoa Joe's theme when talking about BTM,which was good to represent him as a monster


I love this channel--and I'm not even a fan of YTPs.

Do you love this channel because of the memes or?


You're not really supposed to dissect a meme you just look at it and enjoy it


2:19 Why did I laugh so hard at that dinosaur falling in that purple ass water??? 😂😂😂😂😂


You're my favorite YouTuber now. I really enjoy your content!

I think he enjoys making the content that you enjoy!


The same shit happened to Imgur. I started going on there years ago  because it was surprising and original but then they started putting adds on the site and censoring everything. Now lame shit gets to the front page and its sad.


I love the fact that you used "Gates of Delirium"

 Never saw that one coming.


Memes in 2018 live far less than they did in 2017


god the random sound effects makes listening to this feel like a fever dream


wasn’t the point of the video that btm ruins memes by explaining them wrong, therefore making normies use them wrong as a result

and not normie discrimination


the scoring for this video is fucking brilliant


You used King Crimson music and their debut album cover. Major points in my book.


The trial is an awesome Pink Floyd song.


i dont need to know a meme all i need is for it to be funny


The pattern you showed from the 90's was on drink cups at a waterpark I worked at in the 90's

deep cut dank


late 2018 this is NPCs and Players. not normies and outsiders.


fuckin love these comments about BTM's suicide shit. btw "ironic meme" good job making the comment section more fun


I'm just here because the middle finger in the thumbnail makes me envious. Imagine the happiness u could bring with that thing


20:39
The best moment in YouTube history


21:02 it was so beautiful it made me cry :'(


The stupidest thing about responding to that 4chan thread is........ his target audience will most likely never visit 4chan ! Why are you pulling out a criticism from the place that you're safe from (in the eyes of your audience) and bring it for your audiences to see ?! Like you said in this video, outsiders will not depend on Behind the Meme to get their meme. Why try so hard to pander to those people when your target audience is clearly normies


i disagree on YTPs not being the grandfather of memes. earrape is still used today, and even though they have evolved almost recognisably, the music memes have developed from YTPs (i argue the sparta meme started it). meme channels even use YTPs here and then as a way of making nods to where they started. YTPs definitely have roots to where we are today.


As spine shuddering and annoying as the "hupadurp normies haha! What fags!" Message is, it has an underlying truth. Once a piece of content becomes oversaturated and main stream, it gets fucking annoying. That applies to now, in 2018, more than ever, because memes barely last a few weeks before I want to slam my head against a table from being so god damn sick of it. We're also repainting long dead memes. Remember keyboard cat? Say hi to Bongo Cat. (Few months dead, but still.)


In a fistful of words: memes are a meme now, they'll stop being popular to normies soon


The video is 1-1/2 years old, memes are already Internet dinosaurs. Everyone sees himself as an outsider so outsiders are now the new normies.

Not a "complete waste of time" -- nobody's perfect. Keep trying.


4:10 I was actually just thinking about this as an analogy.


18:00
Truer words have never been spoken


This entire comment section is pure cringe

@Dumbo Octopus would you want students to learn about their subject with an out-dated, poorly researched, and lazily written text book? There's nothing wrong with trying to teach normies about good memes, but when you make them believe that dead memes are still funny, miseducate them about important details and make the memes look bad, it's over-all detrimental to the community

@Choyba
You aren't disgusting. But try to be a decent human being. Or don't.
I don't really care at the end of the day.

@Dumbo Octopus Had he actually done some research on the topics that he wanted to cover, none of this would have happened. Look at the Internet Historian, he is loved by every community (even 4chan), because his videos are actually informative and don't spoil memes at all. BTM on the other hand, gave an open challenge to 4chan itself....


I love all the modern and classic wwe themes


If you didn’t already know the meaning of normie, you are a normie.


Excellent use of Gates of Delirium :D <3


25:07 That explains why Dr. Bright posts classified information there

SHIT CALL THE FOUNDATION. HES FIGURED ME OUT!

I watched like 1 video from them and I DESPISED IT


Just sittin' here, jamin' to Pink Floyd.


Despite the fact that he has been dealing with memes for up to 9 years, and thus understands what he is talking about.


Damn didn’t know that other people did content cops


<b>Yes I can unsubscribe, anything for emp.</b>

*Yes I can unsubscribe, anything for emp.*


YouTube (Google) recommends EmpLemon to me all the time...


YouTube Algorithm logic: Videos that actually explain memes well and people generally like them? Screw that! Videos that poorly explain memes and get lots and lots of views and subscribers? Put that on Trending!!!

How else is Behind the Meme more popular than you or Anthony Fantano?

If I were to run YouTube, I'd have the algorithm prioritize relevance first, then it's like-dislike ratio, then how many likes and views it has. Subscribers and watch time don't really matter much.

Edit: this coming from a guy with ~250 total views, 1 like, 7 dislikes, and no subscribers (so you know it's not me, but rather guys who make actually good content who benefit from these changes)

Unfortunately, Youtube is running under the rules of "Popular, recognizable, and safe content [mostly]"; from a business perspective, they need to maximize what will drive revenue, and what better content is going to pander to the mass, general, homogeneous market? Yes, the safe and popular content.
The edgier stuff won't fly, since this stuff is a way smaller market than you think. The majority are people who are casual viewers, and don't put much effort into watching.
The edgier [or less general] people are a lot more engaged, but also smaller in size, resulting in less total revenue driven by that market.
TL;DR
Youtube will only go for the safe and pandering stuff, not this kind of content.

That fucking mf doom came on and sold this video for me.


I subscribed with this video, and one of the recommended channels to subscribe to is Fucking behind the meme


Downward spiral is now EmpLemon's trademark meme

Whenever someone says downward spiral he can copystrike that person


Normies: people who choose Funky Kong or Daisy in Mario Kart Wii

@norixya REAL outsiders: people who know waluigi will NEVER be in a smash game after sakurai was threatened to put waluigi in

Actually, I would propose the opposite. Funky Kong has the highest natural speed stat AND is a heavyweight character, which means that combined with the Flame Runner (inside-drifting bike), he is a speed demon whose weight keeps him from being knocked around like a lightweight. His acceleration is garbage, but the stand-still mini-turbo pretty much neglects that. Daisy with the Mach Bike is also a good combo. Daisy is SLOWER and LIGHTER than Funky Kong, which automatically makes her a worse choice, but she has the sharpest drift out of anyone else.

YEAH. I play as king boo and dry bowser in mario kart wii

Normies : people who play Mario Kart Wii.

Or when they choose Waluigi then they are kinda good people


im nine and love irish rock band and all forms of music and play a lot of game thanks alot and im not sarcastic and thank you for shining light on outsiders


Gordon: Finally some good fuckin content


Your voice sounds like friggin behind the meme in fact I’ve never seen both of u in the same place actually...


Bloody Normies, comin over here, takin our memes

@Antimatter30 Internet Memes? Usually never? Are you feeling okay? Should I call an ambulance?

Internet Memes are usually never funny to be begin with though

@Mesut Bektaş we took yer memes and now yer lives


When I think YTP, I think Frying Nemo series

Are you trying to get him to do Frying Dory?


love you it but Niche is pronounced "Nee-sh" not "Nee-ch" silly boi xDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDecks dee


I remember a year ago when I watched like a minute of this video then commented calling you some hater or something. Oh how wrong I was

It’s alright. We all make mistakes in our lives. But we all learn from them. Well maybe not BTM.


Please do a video about why your boy Anthony got demonetized and closed down his channel


when you’re yelling you sound like leafy wth


You stopped talking about 4 Chan and I got an add for Clover dating 🤔


Im into the video about 5 minutes and thanks to CNN i quit watching because im paranoid it will turn into an anti trump video.

@Lucifer Light <br>Bruh, do you live under a rock? Emp likes Trump

@Lucifer Light
Bruh, do you live under a rock? Emp likes Trump


You actually say that he is just mediocre


I can't believe I was oncwle a behind the meme fan


I remember when I hated you for this lol


WUWHWUWH WAIT. Am i a normie for liking Pokemon and Mario? (stuff like shorter meme life cycles is why ive not been enjoying memes lately like you just see them used EVERYWHERE and it gets grating! imo)


I would love to hear your opinion on iFunny to see if you think it's a normi dite or somewhere in between


GATES OF DELIRIUM BY YES PLAYED AND THAT WAS AWESOME edit: & King Crimson too!? What a chad


This is very uncomfortable to watch in 2018

Behind the meme was lying. He isn't suicidal. He's doing it for views.


Anyone remember what music this is at 21:00?


Since PewDiePie also kills memes, what's your view on him?

Even After T-series Takes His Throne It Would Still Be To Huge Of A Target.


When you actually fit the Outsider definition, in school as well( everyone listens to rap but I listen into Pink Floyd)


Why was there an influx of hate on the first part of the video?


I just looked up thatistheplan and he's not on youtube? I just see a bunch of reupload videos... unless I misspelled it, entirely possible.

Also HUGE PROPS for citing your music. HUUUUUUUUUUUUUGE props, THANK YOU DUDE, can't count the number of youtubers who DON'T put the music in their information. It really pisses me off when people don't cite their sources for music. Sorry for all the caps, but you really made me happy with that little extra info. Thanks dude.

Subscribed, bell engaged.

@Nernx Ultima He's always been Needledrop, it's a different channel entirely. Thatistheplan was his shit posting channel, which was taken down due to YouTube's shitty system.


0:00 what's the name of the non parodied song?


but but, butt, ....

I don't consider myself a "normie", but I'm too fucking busy to fuck around on 4Chan and be in on all the inside jokes.

not even just 4chan but random sites too. its like shifting through a load for crap for a single diamond that you yourself then share or create. its an annoying job i wish i was better at.


DESTROY BEHIND THE MEME!!!!!!!!!!! HE IS A NORMIE WHO MUST BE STOPPED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

<b>if he doesn't destroy his own fan base</b>

*if he doesn't destroy his own fan base*


You and behind the meme sound a lot alike. mmmmm


Who's here after lemon made the defense video for BTM.


Ytp isn't that hard to understand. Its Baroque music. But for videos.


Throughout the video he plays a song from midnight club 3 DUB edition in the car customization shop! And alot of other video game music from my childhood!! LOL!!


He's telling people to unsubscribe, therefore unsubbing is for normies.
Subscribing is something normies also do.
would never subscribing make someone an outsider?


Wow I never thought, somebody couldbe so damn serious, about something as vapid as memes. XD

I would go through the laundry list of things wrong with this comment, but the other 6 replies do an excellent job of it already.

I feel like you're the exact kind of person who emp doesn't like. You hear the word "meme" and rather than find out why he takes it so seriously, you dismiss it as "vapid".

HanniballXII he mention in his “youtube have been on a downward spiral” video that he made this rant to criticize behind the meme, not because he hates him but to help him make better content

I kinda like how you use XD to imply that you're not upset but you must be burning inside.

creemyice Well hearing him talk about this "culture" behind memes and how a youtube channel that tries to explain memes, is destroying that culture, makes it seem like he takes memes way too seriously.


You know that dinosaur metaphor you used? Well it's kinds false but not in terms of use. What I mean is mammals did not start to exist after the meteor, they just started to evolve after the meteor.

Also, its a little more fitting because the only group of dinosaurs that survived are the birds, which would learn to live in every environment and outnumber mammals 2 to 1.


Earrape is still cancer though. Atleast most of it.


Look at me guys, im super edgy...I use unfunny ear rape & act like I could careless if people like me..you're like the hipster of the internet, "I liked all this stuff first, now its not cool that its cool."  If the internet is older than you..you're probably a fucking "normie" too..those dislikes tho...XD

Брэндон Диринг


well at least 18,000 people who watched this are normies

Now 1 year later, behind the meme is gonna play russian roulette to end it all, wowie.

and as it turns out it was completely fake


I feel like the 10k dislikes are all normie behind the meme fans

Where were you months ago when 4chan literally summoned an ancient primordial god of darkness and chaos through the power of shitposting?  Where were you during the last election season when Kek and the powers of meme magic helped Donald Trump become president?


wow sir, that was a very informing and bold video, just the way I like my daily dose of videos, I just subscribed, thanks.

how come youve never known his channel back when he made the uncredibles

We shall defend our memes, whatever the cost may be, we shall fight on IFunny , we shall fight on Reddit , we shall fight in 9gag and 4chan , we shall fight on the internet; we shall never surrender.

im sure outsiders like mainstream media aswell its just they dont live by it and outsiders dont like the same things repeated  so dont worry your probaly not a normie

join 4chan to defeat normies legacy! Reeeeee

Reddit and 4chan are (more or less) awesome. 9GAG and iFunny are normie trash. REEEEEEEEEE!


Bruh samoa joes theme during Behindthememe 😂😂😂


This video made me realise what a FUCKING NORMIE I was.

we all had to A S C E N D at some point.

Girl normies cant change but men normies can change

Weren't we all though? Dank memes didn't always exist.

This video made me want to be a normie tbh
All this meme drama is too much for me

Hands down, best exposure video in 2017!

Killerwhale 6011 but did it feel good though?

Killerwhale 6011 You wrote a couple paragraphs of bullshit.
How? How is his content garbage? It is more entertaining than EMPLemon at least...
Along with that, tell me how more people knowing about a meme kills it, or overuse, whatever you mean by overuse kills it.
Along with that, tell me what you know about meme culture, the secrets. Wow so intelligent, you know the secrets of meme culture that NO ONE should know!!!
Along with that, I watched this whole video believe it or not. And you countered none of my arguments as well.

Idubbbz has an actually good exposure video with research, evidence and great points.

Don’t forget the SssniperWolf expose video.

idubbz ricegum content cop was the best one but this was good too

Oh boy!
You see the latest troll face memes?

Killerwhale 6011 he’s a normie, he wouldn’t understand.


frank tenpenny he meant that nobody took them seriously like we do now


Behind The Meme is going to start a Youtube war


When I first heard normies talk about filthy frank, I knew our paradise was over

Jackaboy 'memer watching the original Harlem Shake video. Then having all that cancer spread.


EmpLemon Aer u a gearhead? U usa lots of musics from ps2 racing games


why does EmpLemon look like a deep fried meme


Wait, I thought you were Anthony fantano


two questions...

are outsiders hipsters? and secondly, i thought we were called ascended.


Chill, ok sure it's the internet, you said it yourself, anybody can post ANYTHING on the internet, so just  let Behind The Meme post his stuff, if you don't like it, don't watch it, you post what you want, and if people don't like it, they don't have to watch it


the newest internet bullshit, cultural appropriation.... of memes...

Chris Bartek think again, sport, this is obviously a faceless Roblox character using either the 3.0 package or rthro.

@john I suggest taking a closer look boyo

Bruno Yudi Was Cultural appropriation is bullshit itself, people say it’s racist when it’s kinda the opposite.

Racism is disliking and hating a culture (saying “Nigga” as a joke isn’t bad, but when you use as an insult to black people, that is racist)

Let’s go to the Chinese prom dress situation, it wasn’t racist, she liked the design of the dress and respected the Chinese and their culture

Kek actually came from World of Warcraft, as Orc's who said "lol" to an alliance player, the alliance players would read it translated to "kek". Topkek however is indeed the cupcake.

I remember that being translated as URUK. I might be wrong tho, i havent touched WoW in 10 years.

Normies don't use it, in fact whenever i've sent kek to a normie they just say <br>"what the fuck is kek?"

"an identical template with an interchangable topic", huh?

reminds me of memes like Mocking Spongebob and Savage Patrick; which are, coincidentally, normie memes

The fact he has no clue about the shit 4Chan has done to people like him, as well as being considering how much 4Chan has shaped memes, meme culture, the history of memes, etc.

Anyways, great video. The only criticism I have is the overuse of seizure inducing effects without a seizure warning, since people with epilepsy can't really help getting a seizure.

Julia Belyung their vague understanding leads memes do be misused and therefore die quicker.

Pixuseru this comment is as underrated as the site itself

Sounds like something a normie would say

Funny you say that as I do indeed have epilepsy. But I'm not on the floor writhing as I type this comment, am I?

This is the internet, and in internet, once real-life thoughts don't matter; you are either a normie or a non-normie fighting mainstream influence.

@Julia Belyung If everyone and their grandma knows a meme and references it, it gets old much, much faster.

The problem people see is that memes don't have a long shelf-life anymore; a couple years ago people could get months to years of enjoyment out of these silly internet jokes but that isn't happening in this new age.

Alan Richardson um... Normies aren't a race g

Who the fuck cares if normies want to learn about memes? How would that ruin them for the rest of us? As far as I see it, it's good that normies are at least trying to understand memes when they could just say "that's weird, unfunny shit" and move on. Plus this behind the meme person isn't trying to hurt or bully anyone like Leafy, he's just trying to share memes with a wider demographic.

+underlord26 what if an outsider has epilepsy?

Well I have some normie friends and there great people, so their are good and bad normies/good and bad outsiders.

arent memes only used by outsiders? and what does that have too do with what i said about him putting normies in a bad light

Alan Richardson this is about memes, mainly used by outsiders

you failed to mention that hes basically rasicst against normies and puts them in a bad light

When you get to the point of calling someone a normie makes you a normie

Also teach me your ways of making normie nullifying memes. I know a lot about memes and how long they last and thier average lifetime due to the amount exposed to the meme, but removing normies is now needed to save the economy.

Mr.Panface • When you get to the point of saying when you get to the point of calling some a normie makes you a normie, makes you a normie. Normie.

Marcus Marcus, really. Do you know how a virus works? If more people get it more people die and can't get it again. This applies to memes, once you find it not funny you won't find it funny again. And more people introduced the faster it dies. It's like a virus. The more people (normies) the faster they die or become normiefied


@Dylan_Not_Dillon I know. i honestly don't know why i commented that

The mainstream internet available to public happened in the late 90s.


The Meme economy will crash soon!
There is only one way to escape this Downward Spiral,
Comrades, seize the memes of production!
Destroy the normie class! For a Dank future!

Why the fuck is this in the playlist for the Danganronpa V3 OST.


Unpopular opinion - EmpLemon is a normie.


WHY IS THIS IN THE DANGANRONPA V3 OST PLAYLIST


Ironically you sound alot like an angrier version of behind the memes.

@Straight God Nope,just aside the voice they have nothing in common.

Is there any similarity between him and Behind the meme


No one clicks "Newest First",lol but not really.


If you're sorting by newest all your gonna see below me are normies, redditors and generics fucks who joined the internet during the social media age etc. Half the video is talking about how memes were part of outcast culture, and like everything that only outcasts people like, normies eventually come along and ruin it. These guys are sad, what happened to the old internet?


Christ almighty does your hand hurt from patting yourself on the back so hard?


The thing is, you gotta spend more than 24 hours a day on the internet to understand all the memes


I still very much love this video and have every time I’ve watched it, but it’s weird watching it with Behind The Meme at the very least giving the appearance of some pretty sever depression (and possible thoughts of suicide). I’ve got respect both EmpLemon and Behind The Meme’s defense of their sides here, but this whole little piece of YouTube drama has gotten significantly more serious in tone.


Behind the meme’s gonna pay for his misdeeds now


This video is one of the few good things that have come as a result of Behind The Meme


The fact that behind the meme a guy who’s probably in his 30s has to get his mommy to “roast” Anthony Fantano is weak and pathetic


Despite the fact that this drama is probs no longer relevant, I still watch this video on a semi-regular basis.

@JoeShmoe102 <br>Same here, man. And I just want to say how funny it is that people call us and Emp elitists when all we want is for them to put in some effort and have some fucking passion instead of being ignorant and bland.

"Time" by Hans Zimmer. Pretty sure it's on the Inception soundtrack (?)


Please don't take this down even though you disagree, let this be a monument to how far you've come


I think you single handedly turned behind the memes popularity around


I’ve been using 4 chan for like 6 yrs already and I’ve seen the memes generated from it and it is much better than the filthy normemes


Hard to take your video seriously when you keep interrupting it with subpar memes and earrape.


How have I missed this channel after all this time

Hulkieus Because TY does fuck all for recommending good channels, if you want to find the good shit you just kinda have grab a shovel dig through the shit hope you hit gold.


Nice normie magnet. This comment section is a gold mine of little kids who like BTM.

@Incognito This conversation is getting really awkward

@Incognito Bruh r we still arguing about this lol.

Theory: BTM moved from Normistan to Memeland (yes I made the internet a continent with countries).

I wouldn't be surprised if they knew the connection with Richard Dawkins, because BTM wouldn't know.

Ok, I really don't like his content, but yeah the Suicide might be fake, but he drank real Vodka.

@sceptile 0k So because anyone has a different opinion on memes makes them a normie

HUHHUH NORMIES. I AM SUPERIOR FOR LIKING PHOTOPSHOPS THE INTERNET MAKES


There are Normie memes (mainly Twitter memes)

And Outsider memes (like deepfried memes)

Normies get tired of their own memes and go after Outsider memes

Normies kill the meme within 2 weeks

Outsiders make a new meme

Repeat


IntoThePit how the fuck did I find you here


Emp lemon you have great taste in music btw


No, he's not dead, but the channel is. The last part to BTM's series of videos (5. The End [RIP Behind the Meme]) was removed shortly after being uploaded. It has been re-uploaded by another user here https://youtu.be/1duIkZnLh_o


Ah, I still watch old YTPs and stuff. I never really was able to watch your videos because of your liberal use of ear rape. It is just that ear rapes aren't my shit. Cs188 is probably still my favorite.
(I know some guys don't like his content because he basically just fills his videos with sex jokes instead of the artistic methods of YTPs, but what could I say? I am still an immature teenager.)
CD-I YTPs were my thing back then.
King Mah boi!_, Morshu the Jewish shopkeeper, and _yor face symphonies.

Keep doing what you're doing. I enjoy it.

i actualy used to watch behind the meme but it was like a month and i had had enough with the normie and i never thought about it for i think a year until i see this


Guys, Behind the Meme is back. I guess it's time to start another crusade.


Edit: I’m now cured from being normiefied, although I still feel ashamed of myself. This marks the 1 year anniversary of when I stopped supporting him. Thanos Car is a great meme. Ugandan Knuckles was a horrible meme. I am a good human being, although I am still ashamed of myself. I think I need to be sent to the execution chamber because I’m afraid the virus will come back. I need help.


Yo I fucking love your music choice! When the Levee Breaks is amazing!

12:58 I rewatched that with my volume all the way up.
I was not disappointed.


Behind the meme has the same voice as Emplemon. I believe they are the same person


I don't think behind meme gets this but his acknowledgement of zenzi makes it a meme


dont become Behind the meme. Be the meme


Anime has become part of normie culture. Back when I was growing up if you watched Anime it was just like reading comic books in the 60's-80's. It was considering very nerdy and you were often made fun of for liking it nowadays it has gotten so mainstream as many normies have flooded the market so much that I bet the normies watching Anime don't even know their normies. Also same with kids cartoons back then and yes back then watching kids cartoons as an adult you were looked as a manchild that has no job and lives in your mom's basement disappointing her every day with your existence.


ENOUGH IS ENOUGH I,VE HAD IT WITH THESE FRICKING NORMIES LISTING TO ME YEETING MEMES PS:REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

I used to love all the pop shit that came in my area because I never knew about what stuff is really out there. I still remember the old youtube though. <br>But I completely changed a few years ago when I realized all of this mainstream propaganda and corporate intervention ruining the quality of every single internet thing. I got into an existential crisis, started a thirst to find non-mainstream stuff (and some of the older stuff I used to see on YouTube when I was a kid loving mainstream shit but I also used to play Counter Strike and Halo so I guess that separated me somewhat off. All of that old shit is now forgotten or gone thanks to YT's stupid search algorithm too.) and so I've realized the great message EmpLemon is trying to send.

@Mamamew TheRani Thanks for sharing your point of view with us. I've just become aware of what the terms "normie" and "outsider" actually mean and their implications in the social environment that we live in today, thanks to this video, and your little speech helped me further understand just how far this terms go. I was kind of born an outsider, but I was lucky enough to not receive a lot of rage during my early childhood. So, even though I have been an outsider all my life, I don't feel hate towards normies, but I also don't think it eould be fair to call myself a true veteran outsider.

I don't even know what kind of content you make on your youtube channel, but I'm going to subscribe just because I liked how deep your original comment was. You sound like someone with very coherent ideas, and also someone who is able to recognize their situation, as well to accept and aknowledge them, which are all very valuable abilities. Sorry for the long comment, but I wanted to say that it means a lot to me that you shared your story with so much detail, and please, don't be sorry for sharing your opinion or personal experiences.

TL;DR: I liked your comment, it helped me better understand what "normie" and "outsider" is and where it comes from, you seem like a smart person with good writing skills. Thanks for sharing your personal experiences.

@Mamamew TheRani thanks for a great comment here. I cant defenetly agree with everything(it is always like this,so i guess it's okay) but found myself related very much to the major point. Thank you.

Yeah but if we research memes and not watch content from Behind the Meme then you move away from the normie side

we essentially got baptised by meme culture

Most have, yes, but at some point we unlocked 100% of our brains and became outsiders

No, a normie isn't someone who just doesn't know about the other culture. A normie is someone who doesn't want to seek out the superior media.

This isn't power rangers.

not because you start as an idiot it means that you should keep like that,  you can just try to make a personality and that would be enough, or at least accept your self as a normie but dont make corporate morrons like buzzfeed and fine bros make some brain wash on you. that problem is that most of the people cant even accept themselfs and everytime someone like emp say to them that they are normies without personality they answer "U r EliTTIZt, yOu cAnt say THat".

@Daniel Baran It means your just a normie, it's not like normies don't know or like memes lol.

God I got a question to ask all of you, and want you to answer honestly: what are you if you’re a “paradox,” as in you’re half-and-half?

God As I was reading through this I was like holy shit, it keeps going. I don’t mean to crap on the commenter or anything, this was literally the War and Peace of YouTube comments.

@DaveBob I never said it was impossible, I just said it wasn't likely to happen.

@DaveBob I never said it was impossible, I just said it wasn't likely to happen.

@King Dededelicious God I wish the old memes were still viable in the new meme economy. I miss the Fry-Futurama meme, as I wish to write across it in Impact, black-bordered, white font "...Can't tell if compliment, or just trollin'."

@Obelisk No, that is not what I am saying. What I'm saying is that there are specific kinds of people that like mainstream media and support trends, then there are people who don't like all mainstream media and don't submit to trends just because they are trendy. People who fall into one category most likely will not just switch to another, that'd be like saying you love pop and then all of a sudden deciding that pop isn't good and that you love rock and then immediately expecting to be treated as a fellow fan of rock.

So what are you saying is, that no matter if I am a normie or a outsider, I am always a normie?

@TheComboDeluxe No it isn't the fallout series excluding fallout 76 is a masterpiece

@TheComboDeluxe No it isn't the fallout series excluding fallout 76 is a masterpiece

I’m starting to break out of it. Not that I was fully normie in the first place I was just a little of both. My problem was being too preoccupied with sports and school but over the last few years i grew a whole new appreciation for the internet and now I’m doing my best to find out as much about it as I can, especially meme culture (even though I’ve always enjoyed memes throughout most my life). I’ll admit I’m not as versed at EmpLemon here but it’s obvious i started later than him lol. Though I like some main stream stuff, mainly video games like Wow or Runescape, I’ve always questioned a majority of main stream shit and always hated it for the most part for as long as i could remember but I just didn’t bother to actually investigate it for myself at the time. As George Carlin said “it’s all bullshit, and it’s bad for ya”

@sonny wdym emplemon is equal, the same as us its not possible for even him to have not liked a trend once, just once in his life. He may be the only one who knows whether he started out as a normie or not, who are we to say if he was or not.

@Dr. Doppeldecker I shall sub to you for my gratitude.

@Dr. Doppeldecker  Thank you. I am just glad I am not being immediately flagged as pretentious. ;3

@Mamamew TheRani that was very interesting to read.  I can confirm a lot of it. Greetings from a german "veteran outsider" ;)

I inherited the outsider status from my brother

I inherited the outsider status from my brother

@scorepit I was raised a normie. I followed a lot of trends and I thought that This Is Sparta was a meme that I could use, like, everytime I kill someone on Roblox. I'd also follow popular opinion and when I see anything like XD, I'd use it at the end of all sentences that I type out in comments and games. But now, when I find anyone unironically using trends and being corny as hell, I cringe hard. It's why I respect The Emoji Movie. It's why when my normie classmates and friends do the bottle flip to be cool and not to pass the time (p.s everyone in my class bottle flips), I reject them for a day. I'm a semi-outsider. I can usually understand a meme, and I like some dead memes. But, there comes times when I overuse a new meme that had not been infected yet/are dead. e.g Illuminati, B, E, Yeet, Oof.

So yes, it is possible to change categories, but you need to be changed before you reach 10 years old. (My transition started when I was age 9.)

This comment is going to hurt me, because just saying "Normie" or "Outsider" relapses me back into my childhood self.
I was an outsider, bullied for being a nerd, no matter what I did. I decided not to dress to impress anyone or gain attention, but that just led to me being bullied more as they assumed I just couldn't afford make-up or I was lesbian or couldn't afford nice clothes. I was bullied for being myself, which made my childhood self very resentful, even at an early age. When I first got a PC at age 8, I consumed the internet, indulging in everything because I felt like it was somewhere I could be me without judgement (because my face was hidden by a screen).
People can become outsiders after being ..."Normies".... (ugh...) but being an outsider from a young age can have a very strange effect on people. It's a weird trauma from exile that leads to a lot of hatred for the people who didn't get it... which I think is why the internet is perpetuated by rage today. A lot of people who stay hidden behind a screen find no reason to mature, so they just keep living the same bitterness from their youth, which comes out as cowardly lashing-out anonymously on a site like this.

Sadly, outsiders who started as "Normies" will never get IT. The day-in day-out harassment followed throughout a decade or more of school. It takes it's toll and it can mess people up.

I get it. I can remember the anger I had back in the day.
For example; back when I was about 11 was when "Nerd culture" started being cool... With the "Normie" definition of the Nerd trend being to wear the new-at-the-time novelty 3D glasses from the cinema with the lenses poked out (and an odd amount of neon clothing to contrast the thick black lenses). Suddenly, they had taken a word they had bullied me with for 4+ years, (a word I had battled with and eventually adopted as a badge of honour) and used taken it for their own, which I originally thought would make me The Cool Kid, but that dream was shot down pretty swiftly, proceeding to tell me I wasn't Nerdy enough. I was so unbelievably bitter, I started complaining about people being mainstream and started being a hipster (before hipsters were ironically the opposite of hipsters).
With the rise of mainstream shows like "Big Bang Theory" making the life of a nerd even more difficult, the lack of understanding just frustrated me more. I began lashing out at more mainstream things, like Justin Bieber and High School Musical and Twilight, being increasingly negative to an almost selfish and entitled degree.
 This is where people like 4chan-ers and redditors and Outsiders stand today; living with that rage they just can't let go of from being misunderstood by simple-minded people.

(I hate using "Simple-minded" too, but I didn't have a word for Basic-bitches and Normies back then, so that's probably what I would have called them. For me, it was the "Dweeks" that pissed me off like nothing else, and it still pains me today. I have been a fanatic for Doctor Who since I was 5. I had been a "Whovian" and active in the fanbase since I was 7. I held Doctor Who on a pedestal as an icon and probably one the most influential pieces of media in my childhood... when suddenly, 2010 rolled around and Doctor Who started airing on BBC-America... and it dragged in some awful "Fans." These were teenage girls who claimed to love Doctor Who, with no caring for the history, had seen a maximum of 4 seasons and only really cared about debating whether David Tennant or Matt Smith was more dreamy. They called themselves "Dweeks," naming a new fandom for a show who already had an avid fandom who were named before these bitches were even born. These American Dweeks were the epitome of Basic-bitches/Normies. Their ignorance of not only the show's history, but the fanbase's long history, made them very easy to hate for an Outsider, and it felt like they stumbled into the lion's den. Now, the ball was in our court. They were on our turf and the Whovians were out for Dweek blood. We'd intentionally made them look like dumb assholes and chase them out of fan groups, gleefully hunting and sniping them in the only way we knew how; through vicious hateful comments.)

I grew out of all that behaviour as I understand more mellow approaches can reach the same goal without the intense hate. In my mid teenage years, I hung out with metalheads, goths and other types of nerds, basically all the outsiders I could be with so they could understand that we didn't have to be alone. Eventually I brought them all together for the last 2 years of school as a huge group who could no longer be bullied, as the "Normies" had all separated into small groups, ironically meaning we were more popular than them as they were sat at lunch in groups of 4-9 people whilst we sat in a group of 21-34 (yes, at one table). The friends I made then are still my closest friends today, but I am a rare case, which is why I am all of this saying this.

I mellowed out of my hatred because I realised that there are as many Outsiders as Normies and because I found my people. Most Outsiders do not find that. Ever. That is why they are stuck in an enraged loop even as an adult. They lash out because they are making up for all the times they were made to feel wrong in youth.
Not all haters are outsiders and not all Normies are dumb, 100% mainstream sheep. You can become an Outsider and you can have started as an Outsider but still be a nice person... but this is my point.

An outsider is someone who sees a perspective not shared by everyone, usually not shared by the majority. As a nerd, I find fun in analytics, learning trivia and the dissecting of all subjects. Goths see a pessimistic look at life as logical and freeing. Metalheads enjoy hearing music that is new to them and make them feel something not shared normally in recent popular music.
An Outsider is not just someone in-the-know, like Behind the meme, but someone with a particular way of thinking that is not typical of everyone around them.
As people who lived on the outside at a young age, we get angry at people who decide that being socially accepted as normal is more important than finding yourself. We get angry when we aren't given the luxury of being seen as normal just because the way our brains work or our hobbies and choices we decide are worth embracing are different that of a less creative, thoughtful or self-aware person.
Some "Normies" do become "Outsiders," but not everyone. The younger you were when you saw yourself as an Outsider, the more you understand what causes this divide and the bitterness that Outsiders hold for "Normies" and why they decided to name them something so scaving in the first place.
A Normie can become an Outsider when they gain better awareness of the world around them later in life. It's true. They can then choose to not be a sheep and learn to not give a fuck like the rest of the Outsiders... but young Outsiders were practically forced into their status of "Outsider" by the social circles created by school social dynamics and media influence of "What is normal." If you were never "Normal" you were wrong and that self hate and hate of others never goes away, leading to a backlash that can't be easily extinguished.
I think the best way to show my point is "Atheists." Atheists are ruthless in America, being usually quite hateful and up their own arses, because they want to believe they are better than Theists because they have science as actual evidence for their beliefs. Meanwhile, I am an Atheist/Agnostic. I rarely say it, however, as I don't want to be associated with scummy American Atheists who hate people for believing something different. I live in Britain, where it is completely normal to be Atheist. 35% of Britain is Atheist, whereas less than 9% of Americans are Atheist, so it is relatively abnormal to be Atheist compared to Britain. Here, no one needs to get angry and try to force these views on others to be heard because no one is rebelling. No one needs to prove anything because no one is being threatened. No one feels wrong for not being theist here. There are far less Anti-theists here than America in recent years too. And sure, you can become Atheist as an adult and have no real issues doing so, but if you were an Atheist at age 15 or younger in America, there were probably many issues, having to fight maybe religious parents, grandparents, catholic schools, preachers and more. That's the true difference between Normies and Outsiders. Outsiders are fighting everyone to be who they want to be, whilst a Normie just conforms. A Normie can join a fight as an Outsider later in life, but they can never be a Veteran-Outsider.

Wow, sorry, I did not expect a rant like this to evolve. I just kept writing. I think I had an epiphany or an crisis or a moment of self discovery or something. I just couldn't stop. Apologies for the rambling. Ignore it. I may just make this into a script and make my own video on it instead.

Nope.

Eventually I brought them all together for the last 2 years of school as a huge group who could no longer be bullied, as the "Normies" had all separated into small groups, ironically meaning we were more popular than them as they were sat at lunch in groups of 4-9 people whilst we sat in a group of 21-34 (yes, at one table). The friends I made then are still my closest friends today, but I am a rare case, which is why I am all of this saying this.

I mellowed out of my hatred because I realised that there are as many Outsiders as Normies and because I found my people. Most Outsiders do not find that. Ever. That is why they are stuck in an enraged loop even as an adult. They lash out because they are making up for all the times they were made to feel wrong in youth.
Not all haters are outsiders and not all Normies are dumb, 100% mainstream sheep. You can become an Outsider and you can have started as an Outsider but still be a nice person... but this is my point.

An outsider is someone who sees a perspective not shared by everyone, usually not shared by the majority. As a nerd, I find fun in analytics, learning trivia and the dissecting of all subjects. Goths see a pessimistic look at life as logical and freeing. Metalheads enjoy hearing music that is new to them and make them feel something not shared normally in recent popular music.
An Outsider is not just someone in-the-know, like Behind the meme, but someone with a particular way of thinking that is not typical of everyone around them.
As people who lived on the outside at a young age, we get angry at people who decide that being socially accepted as normal is more important than finding yourself. We get angry when we aren't given the luxury of being seen as normal just because the way our brains work or our hobbies and choices we decide are worth embracing are different that of a less creative, thoughtful or self-aware person.
Some "Normies" do become "Outsiders," but not everyone. The younger you were when you saw yourself as an Outsider, the more you understand what causes this divide and the bitterness that Outsiders hold for "Normies" and why they decided to name them something so scaving in the first place.
A Normie can become an Outsider when they gain better awareness of the world around them later in life. It's true. They can then choose to not be a sheep and learn to not give a fuck like the rest of the Outsiders... but young Outsiders were practically forced into their status of "Outsider" by the social circles created by school social dynamics and media influence of "What is normal." If you were never "Normal" you were wrong and that self hate and hate of others never goes away, leading to a backlash that can't be easily extinguished.
I think the best way to show my point is "Atheists." Atheists are ruthless in America, being usually quite hateful and up their own arses, because they want to believe they are better than Theists because they have science as actual evidence for their beliefs. Meanwhile, I am an Atheist/Agnostic. I rarely say it, however, as I don't want to be associated with scummy American Atheists who hate people for believing something different. I live in Britain, where it is completely normal to be Atheist. 35% of Britain is Atheist, whereas less than 9% of Americans are Atheist, so it is relatively abnormal to be Atheist compared to Britain. Here, no one needs to get angry and try to force these views on others to be heard because no one is rebelling. No one needs to prove anything because no one is being threatened. No one feels wrong for not being theist here. There are far less Anti-theists here than America in recent years too. And sure, you can become Atheist as an adult and have no real issues doing so, but if you were an Atheist at age 15 or younger in America, there were probably many issues, having to fight maybe religious parents, grandparents, catholic schools, preachers and more. That's the true difference between Normies and Outsiders. Outsiders are fighting everyone to be who they want to be, whilst a Normie just conforms. A Normie can join a fight as an Outsider later in life, but they can never be a Veteran-Outsider.

Wow, sorry, I did not expect a rant like this to evolve. I just kept writing. I think I had an epiphany or an crisis or a moment of self discovery or something. I just couldn't stop. Apologies for the rambling. Ignore it. I may just make this into a script and make my own video on it instead.

@ScusaChannel well think about when u were younger.<br>If u started from there ur frontal lobe wouldnt even know what a normie is and just start at the bottom of the food chain. I think thats what im trying to say here. Of course we all can change butat a young age who can say much.

We didn't start out as normies, we started out as newbies.<br>A normie is just (according to Emp) a person who doesn't look for challenging, niche media, so as long as you're open-minded you could be listening to the Top 40 and watching The Big Bang Theory and not be a normie.

God I was specific, I said basically what I just repeated to you. I said "most of the time the answer is no" not 100% all of the time.

@Lumen u right, u hust had to be more specific and generalize

@Lumen u right, u hust had to be more specific and generalize

God I never said people can't change, I said most people can't just switch from normie to outsider and visa versa because certain types of peoples personality ends up in line with either category. It's in a lot of ways like your character traits, trying to manually change them can be difficult but not impossible.

they can, you cant say people cant change, legit on the video himself he says some people are lucky enough to change on what they believed are thought.

God No not really, not to say we're the same as how we were at birth. But there's more things that makes a normie a normie other then the fact that they don't know anything about memes, a normie isn't just someone who doesn't know anything about memes. A normie is someone who subsists entirely on the mainstream no matter how terrible and bland the mainstream may be. Normies always follow the trends and believe whatever the mainstream corporate puppets tell them to believe. No one is born a normie or an outsider, but you end up falling into one of those two categories eventually. Is it possible to have that changed, most of the time the answer to that question is no. Most people who've already fallen into one category can't switch to the next, no matter how hard they try.

I feel like I’m in the middle of normies  and outsiders halp


People are taking this whole "normie and outsider devide" too seriously. I might be wrong, but wasn't that supposed to be satire? I don't think the joke delivered as expected.

I see a lot of people cringing about his normie/outsider terminology but I haven't seen anyone in these comments provide the creator of this video with a good explanation of what he's getting wrong. The idea of it being satire doesn't add up for me even though I can relate to wishing it were so, because to some of us it is quite palpably flawed. But how could it be satire? This dichotomy underpins most everything being said in the video, much of which is quite obviously heartfelt and very well argued. In fact it only seems worthwhile to elaborate on this underlying problem because this is video is so well made. I enjoyed so much of it, especially when his arguments were presented through repeated demonstrations of his skill in the specific genre in question. But some very fundamental mistakes are being made.

There's a lot I could say about this but in an effort to keep it simple I'd like to respectfully suggest to the creator that the primary error lies in a too narrowly considered historical context. In another video he suggests it is reductive to suggest Leafy was taken down by a single Content Cop. And I'm suggesting that in this video he's guilty of a very similar misunderstanding concerning the forces at work in "ruining" memes and their increasingly shorter life cycles. Outsider niche culture did not exist only for isolated individuals trapped within a vacuum up until the internet came along. And if you want to understand any sort of  "golden era" that was brought about by this technology and the forces that appear to threaten its demise, you have to look at the larger historical context. Counter cultural forces have always been forming bubbles that later get popped and/or coopted into the mainstream. The internet obviously changed the playing field, but you can't understand how the rules have changed if you can't see what remains the same.

And once you look at how your experience of these issues resonates with those of others within the larger historical context, I guarantee that you will soon find the word "normie" to be downright nauseating. Because in order to embrace that sort of concept you also embrace the homogenization of anything that is not "normie". To be an "outsider" is no longer about being free thinking and critical but is instead just another meaningless label used by mindless consumers of memes or alt-this or indie-that.

So that's why you shouldn't talk about "normies".

And that stuff is why memes die.

Sorry I couldn't explain myself better and be more concise. But I'll stop there. Good job on this video. And good luck out there.

@Joe Joseph K lol this is perfect. I agree with your argument nonetheless.

You know now thinking about it I just proved your point. Welp.

Fatter Platter It just seems to breathe elitism/pretension. I guess I do know where he’s coming (as a reference, I in particularly enjoy avant-garde works of music such as Velvet Underground, Yoko Ono, and La Monte Young, all very alienating, underrated and underground music that is looked down upon by many) however, to look down upon people for “not getting a joke” or “for being a normie” seems quite counter intuitive. When I recommended someone listen to extreme or experimental music, I like to sail them through it, show them what I appreciate. His approach to indoctrinating people to the comedy he enjoy is to scoff at these people and go on to state why he and his circle-jerking friends are “the outsiders” misunderstood, ahead of the curve, different people that mainstream people just don’t get because they are so advanced. Everyone feels alienated one way or another. You’re not fucking special. You just make more abrasive and different forms of comedy. So why not help people understand it?


I just love the pronunciation of "niche" and I don't really know why and I don't have a good reason...


the staleness that happens, is thanks to capitalism


Suprising how he has more subs than u im not saying subs describe the quality of the channel but it describes how many mre people like his content


Subbed mostly for the use of Pink Floyd. Mostly.


The dislikes prove your point beautifully.


If I took a test, I’d probably end up with the answer of being a normie, but I don’t want to be


(Makes a video over a year ago) Omg you ruined btm's life!!!

ALSM he did not ruin BTM’s life, it was the horde of band wagoners who misinterpreted Emp’s video

Lol ikr, all these white knights in the comments section really makes me lose faith in humanity.


The normies vs outsiders thing is like the "not like other girls" thing lmao

Colin McGreevy I'm talking about the real definition not emporers lemon deffinition of normies and outsiders

Colin McGreevy  well how do you know? The girls that say they aren't like the "princess" they don't even fucking realize every one is different. But the normies vs outsiders actually means something. The definition of normie is a person who goes into the most popular media. The definition of outsider is a person who stays outside of main media. Those are two fucking different things

Yeah except for the normies vs outsider actually makes sense


20:00 that is the worst thing I have ever seen


This behind the meme guy killed my favorite memes.


I shall request how to know how to not be a n o r m i e

16:46 why did you put fans screaming Krysowiak?


Behind the meme is back we need you chief


I found this through my recommended videos after watching only planet Dolan videos


The difference between hipsters and outsiders is hipster reject anything that’s popular and go for anything “vintage” but with outsiders they can still like mainstream media  as long as it is good original media but most mainstream media is really mediocre so they generally explore their media to find better media.


13:34 i've heard that meme song a million times but whats the name


makes me sad.. anthony's channel is gone. can i get a rip whip?


Omg do you have to explain what an normie is


Do a meme theory on net neutrality please.


Dolan actually originates from finnish imageboard called "kuvalauta" nowadays Ylilauta, which are similar to 4chan


Hell yeah my boi elliot rodger made the tight choice


Crowds of excited people lined the streets and waved to BTM. The car turned off Main Street at Dealey Plaza around 12:30 p.m. As it was passing the Texas School Meme Depository, gunfire suddenly reverberated in the plaza.

Bullets struck the memekiller's neck and head and he slumped over toward Somali sonic. The a different affiliate of BTM was also hit in the chest.
Vice President F E L I X  K J E L L B E R G  takes Oath of Office
The car sped off to Parkland Meme Altar just a few minutes away. But little could be done for the memekiller. A memetic priest was summoned to administer the last rites, and at 1:00 p.m. Behind the meme was pronounced dead. Though seriously wounded, The affiliate would recover.

The memekiller's body was brought to normie Field and placed on Normal Force One. Before the plane took off, a poker-faced Pewdie stood in the tight, crowded compartment and took the oath of office, administered by US District Court Susan Washingmachine. The brief ceremony took place at 2:38 p.m.

Less than an hour earlier, normie police had arrested Emperorlemon, a recently hired employee at the Texas School Meme Depository. He was being ridiculed for the assassination of BTM and the fatal shooting, shortly afterward, of Patrolman Rageface on a Dallas street.

On Sunday morning, November 24, Lemon was scheduled to be transferred from police headquarters to the county normalfag hell. Viewers across America watching the live television coverage suddenly saw a fucking normalfag aim a gun emoji and fire at point blank range. The assailant was identified as Norman Fagotti, a local nightclub owner. Lemon A S C E N D E D two hours later at Parkland Meme altar.

I know, this post is about as long as the video itself, so here’s a bit of a TL;DR:

This post reads out as the story of JFK’s assassination with Behind the Meme as JFK, EmperorLemon as Lee Harvey Oswald, and for some odd reason, Pewdiepie as Lyndon Johnson.

You cant kill a meme if it still getting used


I came for all the triggered comments from all sides... im not disappointed


Anyone watching this, mourning over YouTube’s inevitable and impending death.


I'm both or in between a normie and outsider... UHHH whoops-


So... anyone see BehindtheMeme’s latest videos? He’s seriously depressed or something


R.I.P me I'm surrounded by N O R M I E S  halp meeeeeeeeeeeediteeeeeee


Dude, yes in backround i love relayer and this video too


eh yo this video reeks of meta-narratives.


none of this "normie"/"outsider" stuff screams pretentious to you guys? anyone?


Scratch off the original and ingenious part, bud. These memes are about the same as the ones from 2010, just scratch off the impact font.


People are pointing to Emplemon as the source of all this recent shit, and imma just say that behind the meme doesn't know how to react to criticism, you should listen to constructive criticisms and adapt and change your content. And yes, emp and pyrocynical both may have pushed it far, but I believe both parties are in the wrong. If behind the meme brings back his content he needs to listen to constructive criticism, and with emp and pyro and everyone else, don't push the poor man so far, this video was both constructive criticism and attack in my opinion. BOTH PARTIES ARE IN THE WRONG AND SHOULD CORRECT THEMSELVES.

@SonicGman2001 <br>True. But, BTM fans and other normies needed someone to blame it on (that was on YouTube since normies don’t know any other sites) for BTM’s garbage content so they went after the person who actually made good content and put up good criticism

Wanna know if you're a normie? Aight answer this question...do you know what Sawcon is?

@TheKiloMight nigga you know what imagine dragons is?


But think about this now. This guy was a real human being with feelings getting sent hate and death threats everyday. How would you feel if this happened to you? You guys bullied a person into submission like a bunch of jackasses and now he hasn’t uploaded for 4 months. This is why sometimes I hate the meme community.

keep in mind Emp never wanted that to happen, as it was the people outraged by what BTM did to the "meme verse"

I mean, the REAL meme community just didnt watched his videos at all.


so this is basically the nerd peoples form of cultural appropriation? cool.


"Mahmuh meeeeeeeeeemzzzzzzzz" I wanna die.


you just explained my political life just about people and not understanding communism & socialism


For the 70% of the fans of EMPLemon who don't understand what he EXACTLY wants from BTM and are going through false information that BTM wanted to ruin people's live. Stop sending death threats to him as that's not helping anymore. Instead of going with the information EMPLemon provided, you went and send death threats to BTM.

And I also say that to myself because I thought he wanted some bad stuff to BTM. But that's not what he wanted at all, he wanted to expose him. His fans want the shit. So I'm gonna be editing my comment now.

But JC Cast, BTM made something  wrong, he complained about some stuff and made an invalid opinion. Yeah he is wrong in that shit he created. But since he knows he created a lot of bad shit. He decided to go off youtube for months and think for the best. But after those 5 months. He wasn't making any invalid opinions anymore of youtubers. And in his beginning to end videos I don't hear him making too many invalid opinions as he's just talking about his life. But there are still some fans that are still sending death threats to him and are still encouraging him to die because they're very unintelligent of what EMPLemon actually wanted.

I now checked EMPLemon's twitter. Yes he didn't want this. But right now in my honest opinion. EMPLemon did nothing wrong. But most of his fans in his fan base is the fault of why this happened. I know it's hard to completely control a bad fan base or most of a fan base. So right now I have a better image for EMPLemon but I have a worse image for the most part of his fan base.

Suicide isn't what he wanted, he was giving a critique of a channel that needed to be critiqued.


I don't know if I'm a normie or a outsider

It isn't divided into two groups, there are internet hierarcies
Facebook< 9gag < IFunny <Instagram <Reddit <4Chan
That excludes a lot but you get the point


How do we know you're not a normie yourself. First amendment freedom of speech this is America keep that in mind normie.

He has his own opinions instead of just following everyone else's.


GODDAMN NORMIES

STOP RUINING OUR MEMES REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE


But what are your opinions on urban dictionary


My pic is the same meme as the thumbnail


Ghostbusters 1984 is a movie. Why did I made this comment...


Without behind the meme I would have been dead for a long time with all these memes coming from nowhere and I couldn't explain myself wtf is this and why is it supposed to be funny.So idk why hating upon him.

When I first encountered him, when he covered Whoa Technology, I said, "Hey, this might be a great video!'

BOY WAS I WRONG.

It was basically three minutes of corny jokes, one minute of stock images and bad GIFs, two minutes of intro and outro and thirty seconds of actual content.

@XanderDoesStuff no the guy who made the comment my bad 🅱

You have a computer and internet.
USE IT!
Get some actual understanding of the jokes rather than a half assed explanation...

Brandon Alvarez me? If so no I don't even have an I funny account

fucking casual... i got 12 seizures from only watching this halfway through.


Memes is, in just opinion, the new media. And because how special it is, some people like EmpLemon will be more passionate about it. He's like one of the front runner of this new media.

Eeehh back then it was like 50/50. A lot of the memes were referred to the pic related ones.

TheGreatChineseDragon

Let me guess, this is your attempt to defend BTM. Right?

Good Demoman - Remember when memes weren't meant to be taken serious to ultimately extreme levels?

I've been a massive fan of Youtube Poop and meme culture since 2007; But even before that, memes like "All Your Base" and the dancing baby/banana were making me chuckle in the earlier half of the 00s. I watched tons of stupid Volvic ad shit, at a time when slowing things down and speeding things up was the funniest shit in the world and I'd literally come home from school and just binge watch that crap until my fondest childhood memories were context deficient random nonsense from some obscure YTPs I can't even remember the names of.

Zelda CDI was a classic. I remember getting the videos from Quebec Gamer and making my own shit tier YTP which again was hilarious back then for me, it was great being a part of something. 300 memes to this day are among my favorite - I even went as far as to download the remix on my old laptop - Dr Robotnik poops by Stegblob and Boogidyboo were my favorite videos in particular and I will never forget CHOCOLATE COVERED COCK! Or any of the many quotes from those classics.

Now with all that being said; this whole normie bashing thing I can't appreciate. I totally agree Behind the Meme is just fishing for views at the cost of YTP culture and is doing a disservice to what was truly the golden era of the internet, but as cool as you are EmperorLemon - love your work, love your poops. You come off as pretentious as fuck. Please don't become another Pyrocynical -  to quote Rocky in a fitting meme fashion "You're better than that!"

you understand it wasnt because of end lemon right? this was made in may, his info was leaked because he killed woah

Isaiah Allen those are pretty recent memes, but yeah they were good. It was cool when only a few memes were out there. Now everyone who makes a shitty meme thinks they are GOAT. It's annoying. Miss when people did it for the laughs

the thing is btm was ignored until end lemon made a video on him and he now been forced and has his family and friends info leaked out as well

Oh my god, same dude. IMO, the best memes are the old ones that still hold up. My favorites were the ones where it was a reusable image where you put text over it. Like the "x, x everywhere" or the "one does not simply x" meme, or the "yo dawg" meme. Especially loved the rage comic ones. Now, memes are pretty fucking low down trash that I wouldn't be inclined to laugh at 8 years ago.

suresren i know exactly what you mean. Everyone wants to be so different. When in reality most of the people in these comments are just barely  getting on the meme culture. <br>Hell I still consider myself new and I have been an "Outsider" since around the same time as you.

suresren What do you mean by 'don't become another Pyrocynical'?


What if we are looking at this in the wrong way... don't we want the Normies to become an outsider? Sure I mean people have behind the meme all those other websites but if the get "educated" in any way even if it's wrong, that will help them understand the way of the meme.

I think that he's saying its not bad because normies, I think he means that BTM explains it wrong.


so basically every pokemon fan is a normie?


please make more of these, if you do you will become huge and you aren't afraid to lay shit out the way it is


You gotta like how Behind The Meme shows the same comments when he shows his requests that have barley shit for likes.

joeycommet45 But he shows them for 10 seconds at most . BTM shows them forever


anybody who uses the word "normie" can't be taken seriously.
