I think it’s pretty normal to think you’re not a normie. And although there is a difference with normies and outsiders. Don’t think you’re better than someone else just because you like your stuff underground and not mainstream and blah blah. The truth is, most of the outsiders consume media just the same as a normie. I don’t like how this guy said outsiders are creative and better. Because no, I could literally come up with a stereotypical outsider as well as a normie. Being a creative isn’t about consuming media at all really. It’s about getting that shit done. Making music, painting, sculpting, making videos. So many people try and try and try, but they just are not creative, and as much as they think they are, they aren’t. Cause at the end of the day, you can think you can do so much stuff. It’s really about going out there and doing it, from start to finish. Then letting the world observe it and take it, not from your perspective, but from their own. And that’s it. We are all human and we are all equal. This has nothing to do with the whole thing of the video, but I just want whoever is reading this to know.

It just matters about things being good. There is normie content that I enjoy. Although I have to agree outside content is soooo much better.

bruh did you not look at the upload date of this video?

@CommanderGuy yea I’m not saying it’s wrong either, normies make the world go round! However the reason people achieve greatness, is because they themselves within are great. You know? Everyone has untapped potential, some people sadly never achieve it or never believe in themselves that they are great

@Angad Grewal haha man in a beautiful way, I think we are all normies

Emplemon literally said it's not wrong to be a normie.


EmpLemon may be a down-to-earth guy, but he's also got hella good taste in music.

I know right? Found achillies last stand and echoes via a meme vid.

CoinWasher quite a lot of pink floyd in this one


Remember when Earrape was the peak of comedy? Good times.


i wonder what a take on lessons in meme culture from emp would look like


Aight, Imma be real here.
I first found EmpLemon because of this video, but the way it got recommended to me was that I was an avid Behind the Meme viewer back then, and I loved all those videos, I tought they were actually informative and helped my young teen brain understand them more.

When this video came up, I was so oblivious that I tought this was another Behind the Meme video about the middle finger image on the Thumbnail, and I was interested in knowing where that image came from, I didn't even realize it was from another channel or the title of the video.

When I started watching it, I quickly realized I found something completely different, it was shocking and took me aback, I was tempted to leave due to not being what I was looking for, but the editing was so intizing and well made that it caught my attention enough to finish watching it right then and there, and I learned so many things about how the Internet words at its core, I was properly introduced to YouTube Poop, and the issues with Behind the Meme's content, it made me reconsider my position as a regular BTM viewer, and if I remember well, I stopped watching him right then and there, while EmpLemon's editing style and pacing was so great that I wanted to see more from him, and I saw the other modern videos he made back then.

Back then and to this day I have never liked YouTube Poop, but I respect it for its creativity and skill, but the fact they were just used to do nonesensical things for the hell of it, turned me away, but when harnessed for a concise objective, such as this video, it enamours me like nothing else I had seen back then and today aswell. I remember that I actually chose to subscribe to Emp because of this and ever since I never skipped any of his new videos, none of them.

In retrospective, I think that back then I was a Normie and didn't realize, but this video opened my eyes (I think) and made me disgusted with that fact, and I want to think I've drifted away from the Sheep Herd at least.
So thanks Emp, thanks for giving me a better place to go in the Internet. (Well, not sure if better still, but it's a lot more interesting at least, and I wouldn't want it any other way)

This beautiful just beautiful, such a great story


This video educated me more then anything I woulda found in the same time. Very well made.

I guess I'm a normie tho I had no clue about the "meme economy"


Oh how time changed. I wonder what were the results after this bullshit lmao


27:30 and whaddya know - we already ran out of clean water.
Almost every image meme nowadays is just a clone of the Drake/Hotline Bling meme


Now the meme reddits are killing memes every minute

Fr. Memes die fast. It’s mainly the reason why I actually like to reminisce on dead memes for the time that they had.


i got reminded of this exercise in unwarranted self importance from wavy’s video. when i first saw this video almost 5 years ago i thought it was a parody of people who think “meme culture” is a thing and act like memes are some form of high art. i didn’t understand why all the comments were actually agreeing with the message. i’m glad to see ppl in the comments aren’t buying this bullshit anymore and that emp grew up and has made better quality videos since this. personally if my classmates in 2009 knew what memes were i would have been ecstatic. maybe that would’ve made me less of a loner. guess that makes me a normie pleb.

@Guest C i do gotta admit teddie is more likeable than morgana

@Guzma teddie masterrace no stinky morgana

Nah, normies aren't gonna 42% themselves.


I've been tellin my bros for months, we are currently in a Meme Depression

We haven't gone much from there, but we may just be onto something soon.

vmp916 we are on meme war 7 or something, along with a bunch of minor operations with btm and cnn

if the Meme War led into a depression then shouldn't Meme War II end it?

Wow you're right. Even Anthony Fantonio in his last meme review said that memes were moving slow lately. And all he had for that Spongebob meme was a long "WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO CARES!?!?

maybe...Cave Johnson is on to something.

The Great Meme Depression of '17.... <br>Yeah.. I remember that. Couldn't find a good meme anywhere. We were all lining up to get bee movie memes and we are number one memes. Dad came home and sold our meme account. He told me "Son, thats it. We won't have any more memes." One of the saddest days of my life. Every week we ended up with only 3 memes worth looking at, when we used to have hundreds. Instead, we got memes so bad we had to destroy the computer. Sad days, I tell you.

idk im trying to do memes but its not working :/

we need a new meme war for a post war meme miracle.

The mememarket crash of 2016 causing the Meme Depression. What can be done about the global inflation of memes.

we can't even have a meme of the month, it's more like meme of the week. and it takes time and thought to make a good meme, and when one is created, normies just reuse and repost. no innovation.

AND THATS WHY YOU GO DEEPER

nothing is going to be good on the surface theres probably hundereds of spicy memes buried across the internet

Empire of the rising Kek Reddit is filled with Normies and neck beards

A-Bomb Mori  cheap memes, Imgur makes memes that are comparable to a chinese sweatshop.

Alot of memes around, but cheap and die in a week

4chan and reddit making memes however is comparable to having them painstakingly crafted in a european workshop.

Sure theres only one meme there, but it lasts and everyone can have a laugh at it.

And yes this is a meme depression, memes are forced now and if you don't overuse them you won't be "le trending kiddo"

The Roid Raged Trex I'd consider it more of a meme recession rather than a meme depression, we got black thinky guy, he was around long enough to be funny but left before the normies took over.

The Roid Raged Trex literally the last good meme was let it grow and that was from January

My friend, no one has won. The normies will be stuck as usual with their content, while we will be forced to rebuild the factories and find a different source of meme energy to produce good content for us outsiders. Til then, WE WILL ALL FEEL THE PAIN AND SUFFERING THAT WILL COME IN THIS DARK TIME!

LTMLG No.
2011: The golden age of memes, memes consumed the market.

Late 2015-2017: It's "lit fam, fidget spinners! Dab! Look at dis dude, cash me outside how bout that, emojis, squad goals."

You see here, the Normies have won, there is no way for the memers to win once again.

ITS ALL BECAUSE OF THAT DAMN MEME WAR DAMNIT. Ever since Trump declared meme blitzkrieg on Hillary and the democrats, the meme factories have been kicked far too much too many good memes in a single sitting. Because of this, we are currently in a meme depression due to the lack of resources needed for memes.

meme stocks have plummeted. I would sell them asap.

2016 was a paradise for memeing. And this year you can just tell the presence of normies everywhere. I say time and time again, invest in edgy shit and normies will steer clear

The Roid Raged Trex technically a meme hyperinflation period.

Riley Melbourne there are a bunch on /r/memeeconomy

How many memes have we had besides the trump presidency? I can't name more than five to be honest.

The Roid Raged Trex and normies are getting loans they can't pay off


I just realized how much of a redditor acted like in this era of his content jfc


Bruhh, I thought emp was spitting facts back in 6th-7th grade lmao


I dont know why but I really enjoy listening to your rants while practicing drawing they do kinda border on being whiney sometimes but they're all really good and bring up genuinly good points.


so when are we going to get a similar video about Pewdiepie's meme review videos, where he not only kills memes, but entire subreddit communities at the same time?

@High Definition I made that comment a year ago so my tastes have changed

@Someone 234 there's nothing to ruin in dogelore, it's already terrible. If that's what you consider good memes, I feel sorry for you lol

@OFFLINE 0 Again, he needed his mom to come defend him from Anthony Fantano lightly teasing him. If that's not asking for it, I dunno what is. But by all means, keep defending <b>your</b> king

@OFFLINE 0 Again, he needed his mom to come defend him from Anthony Fantano lightly teasing him. If that's not asking for it, I dunno what is. But by all means, keep defending *your* king

@OFFLINE 0 It's that he made <b>bad</b> videos, which really would have stopped there if he didn't also proceed to *feed the trolls*, that one in particular is the main ingredient, like, he actually had to get his mom to come defend him in a video, at that point he was kinda asking for it

@OFFLINE 0 It's that he made *bad* videos, which really would have stopped there if he didn't also proceed to *feed the trolls*, that one in particular is the main ingredient, like, he actually had to get his mom to come defend him in a video, at that point he was kinda asking for it

@Jiggles the Clown I didnt even watch behind the meme I just found it insane how much hate he got for making simple meme videos its honestly dumbfounding

@OFFLINE 0 Still have yet to give me a reason for why he should make the same video twice

Keep worshiping Behindthememe who I guess is your god

@OFFLINE 0 Still have yet to give me a reason for why he should make the same video twice

Keep worshiping Behindthememe who I guess is *your* god

@Jiggles the Clown he still shouldnt have done it and make a video  for pewdiepie still doesnt make it okay and he knows that but keep worshiping emplemon whos your God

@OFFLINE 0 Doesn't really refute my argument though, emp would still just be making the same video again. If you want to stand up to Pewdiepie, then do it yourself, share this video around and say "this all applies to Pewdiepie too," instead of expecting people to repeat themselves

@Jiggles the Clown doesnt make it any better they are too diffrent peopke who only stands up to people with a similar channel size to him quote @ibz

@Faun471 he’s too “ironic funny” for my taste

Well he's kinda stopped doing them and hasn't done a meme review for a while...

german pogostick you guys should focus on your life instead of some stupid memes.

german pogostick they are just fucking memes lol damn you guys take this too seriously.

good riddance to the subreddits, that site is cancerous

@ScurvyBoi What i was trying to say is that something doesn't have to be good to be LIKED I never meant to say that Pewdiepie's content is good OR bad because that is subjective and everyone has their opinions about that all I said was that something doesn't have to be good to be enjoyed because you said "and nobody can be entertained by his videos" but that person probably didn't mean that.

@Just some goose with internet access I watch PewDiePie's content, therefore he is subjectively good for me.<br>You can say that I like it despite being bad or "not good" but that's just your subjective opinion.

@Just some goose with internet access I watch PewDiePie's content, therefore he is subjectively good for me.
You can say that I like it despite being bad or "not good" but that's just your subjective opinion.

@ScurvyBoi Ya can still like shit even if it isnt good now cant you?

@my man Pretty much everything he would have to say about Pewdiepie doing the same shit Knowyourmeme did has already been said here, there's no reason to make the same video twice.

Thotticus Supremus Because Emp is a hypocrite who calls some people out for the shit the people he likes does. I love emplemons content but it really fucking bugs me.

Exactly, EmpLemon needs to make a video on this topic. Pewdiepie toxic fan base fucks memes up.

He knows he ruining good content that will never compare to his yet he did it.

He better not ruin dogelore next

@Tarkus
"People don't seem to realize pewdiepie was never good"
aka. I don't like him therefore he is bad and no one can be entertained with his videos

@Tarkus well how about now? As fas I'm voncerned he's no longer the "meme master" like what you stated in your comment? I'm just curious, you can hate him and I can't change that because everyone has different tastes and preferences. Just curious.

I feel nothing about the destruction of reddit

sirinterweb I used to enjoy pewds content and was probably responsible by association for killing memes. awareness can stop others making the same mistake spread the word


This channel is brilliant.  Thanks for the content.


This man really just went from vaporware, to led zeppelin, to crimson king


I love the inclusion of classic rock in all your videos, really gets me interested. Especially Pink Floyd and Zeppelin. Now you just need some Skynyrd and you’ll be set


Okay looking back as a big emp fan since 2017 this video really ain't great


Excellent criticism of Behind the Meme. When I first found him I just thought he was just annoying and his content was bland but I never took the time to really delve deep into the true shittiness of his content. Overall very good video, good points, and pretty entertaining as well.

@Lunokhod <br>O hey I subbed to you awhile ago

@Lunokhod
O hey I subbed to you awhile ago

Solar Sands <br>You just can't stop rationally criticising... I guess it's in your blood.

Solar Sands
You just can't stop rationally criticising... I guess it's in your blood.

Solar Sands oh it's the criticiser. I didn't expect you to go to emplemon's rant video or some shit, and comment a simple declarative.

Btw I love ur devian art rants.

Woah Solar Sands?! I never expected to see you here! 0_0

Solar Sands, Oh great so you agree with this guy?!

Oh shit, didn't think I'd see Papa Solar here

I'm pretty sure Matty gave you some excellent criticism with some good points too.

Solar Sands first didn't expect you here 10/10 woodmans on your vids and also yours Emp "very noice"

The huge, sandy fusion reactor in the sky approves.

Oh wow.

QuartzGoat Even though you are Undertrash, this comment is funny

Phijkchu Euphoric Pizza It's really more of a flaming ball of plasma.

ayyy its mah boi giant ball of flaming gas very small particles of rock

Why, hello there, hour glass person! How are you doing? =P

Solar Sands Oh hey. Didn't expect to see you here. XD

Solar Sands I didn't think I'd find you here.


Nowadays, I believe reviewing or explaining any sort of meme before it dies is a great way to kill it. No matter the channel.


I like how every recent comment is either "This video aged like milk" or "This is truly a classic". No in between


Ya, but at least Behind the Meme isn't alt-right


This video certainly aged like milk. Especially considering no one says anything about Lessons in Meme Culture.

This whole “normie” “outcast” shit is childish and pointless.

Yeah this is one of the most cringe videos of all time

sounds like something a normie would say

Doc, I'm pretty sure you said some pretty cringy shit 4 years ago. You should have left a relevant opinion years ago, but here you are feeding off the algorithm lol

@Siddiq 069 Good its still up. Its shows confidence in how much he has grown since then instead of deleting it and acting like it never happened. His content in my opinion improved.

@Mint Goldheart  Not particularly. I hope he's doing what he truly loves now though.<br>I know I am, lol.

@Mint Goldheart  Not particularly. I hope he's doing what he truly loves now though.
I know I am, lol.

@AlonWoof he even made a video on why he stopped making YTPs if you're curious about that

@Mint Goldheart  I see. Well, I'm happy for him, then.

@AlonWoof he started his YTPs at 13 in 2010 if I remember correctly. That would make him 20 years old when this video came out and at 20 you're still not quite an adult. And I don't know if you looked at the video he made a year after this silly drama, but clearly he isn't proud of it. And you had watched any of his recent content you'd know Emp doesn't deal with YouTube drama anymore.

@Mint Goldheart Well, I used to be subscribed for his YTPs. I used to watch them when I was a teenager. 10 years ago. So unless he was making YTPs in elementary school, I doubt he was a teenager when he made this one.

But ah, I'm glad if he matured a bit.

@AlonWoof have you watched of any of Emp's recent videos that is less than 2 years old? This video certainly didn't age well but I'm sure you did some really dumb and cringy stuff as a teenager.

@RannettaPalelee123 glad we can agree on that

@SPRINGY BOI I agree with that 100%. There’s a difference between harassment and criticism, criticism is ok, harassment is not.

@RannettaPalelee123 so just because his videos were poorly made. Ok sure. Criticism of that is ok. However doxxing him and having this extreme hate is stupid

@SpainCat he still explains the meme. Same thing behind the meme did. Now I’m not saying that LIMC also deserves hate because let’s be honest, nobody does for EXPLAINING A FUCKING MEME

No-one says anything about Lessons in Meme Culture, because he actually knows what he's talking about and he actually puts some effort into his videos.

Cause LiMC does not sound annoying and like he is talking to mere children. He also doesn't put so much filler bullshit in each video.

apparently he apologize him after a year. guess he grew up. kinda weird that this video still up

This video is just a massive reddit moment lol “NOOOO YOU CANT JUST EXPLAIN MEMES MUH CULTURE”

@AlonWoof emplemon really is an elitist in whatever he talks about, he is special and you should feek bad for even trying to be special like him. See that on the state on youtube and "oh how good and original YTPs were", because what he does is special

i like the part where he says "im not like other girls"

I must've repressed this in my head until I saw the new wavywebsurf vid. Emplemon still one of my favorites tho and I'm glad he grew up

I always thought this video was stupid and made me lose respect for EmpLemon.

He should really, REALLY go outside. This video is just cringey and sad tbh.

The reason barely anyone hates on LIMC can be summarized by a quote from the all mighty Megamind:<br>“Presentation!”

The reason barely anyone hates on LIMC can be summarized by a quote from the all mighty Megamind:
“Presentation!”


the most cancerous outbreak was when little kids started uploading "dank" memes and thought they were funny and that they were meme gods lmao

hey bro i know its been like 4 years but I hope to god ur not thinking like this anymore

Jesus christ Wise words by Jesus Christ himself.

Livid Evil   if you use dank you should have "N" for Normie branded on your forehead

These are dark times for meme culture. There are still kids at my school, get this,  WHO STILL TALK ABOUT HARAMBE. Then come the kiddies from vine,  who watch a actual OG dank meme comp and then create fucking unfunny ear rape videos.  HAHAHAHAHAHAHA OMG ITS FUNNY BECUASE THERE TALKING CASUAL BUT LOUD RANDOM VIBRATIONS AND EMOJIS HAHAHA. Those aren't memes anymore goddammit, it's now normie territory.

Yes but the worst part was, other normies actually enjoyed and were inspired by those videos, causing even more "meme" accounts to be born on platforms like Facebook and Instagram.


I probably said this some time in the past somewhere on this channel, but your content is addicting and I can't help but rewatch these videos from start to finish every few days. No, I will stay an empty subscriber. Come at me, bro.


Hey EmpLemon. I'm loving your videos BUT I must say (as a sound engineer) that your audio mixing is abismal dude. And I don't say it like you suck, because that isn't true. I'm telling you because is pretty irritating having to run from across the room to low down the volume in some parts of MANY, if not all, of your videos. To accomplish this, I recommend applying a COMPRESSOR to the final mix and then a LIMITER. I understand that you used to make poop content but now you don't and these audio practices are so annoying in your videos, they don't add anything important neither, just a jump scare and makes you lower the volume immediatly and let yoy thinking "wtf man". Keep up the good work!! Love ya

Thats his ytp personality coming through. He has bin pretty Big in the scene when it was popular. It’s just Kind of his personality and Taste that there are just some louder scenes


Bro i need to say this. Im about to make YouTube videos and i really respect everything you say. Im legit TAKING NOTES!
You Leafy, Spongebob and Simpsons video's all gave me TONS of input, stuff that i already knew got reenforced, things i "knew" but never actively thought of are brought to my attention, stuff i felt but wasn't sure if it was just me being weird makes me value those views. I could go on for ever.

If i get mildly successful, i will let you know because your a HUGE Inspiration to me in SO many ways right now! <3

@Dogeyboy Learned a shitton of things necessary already, (how to use different programms from 3D modelling to videoediting and Drawing, principles of animation, fundamentals of art, anatomy, etc.

Been slacking a little lately but by the end of this year i want my first video done. x)

Don't wait, work on something yourself. Time Investment is OP

@Mercury lmao as if you were in a position to know xD you seem to be projecting much?

@Squelar Thanks man <3 pretty sure ill need it


everyone finding this nowadays calling this video so bad dont understand this happened in the time where basically everyone that followed any memepage below 100k thought this same exact thing


You know I'm feelin that MF DOOM sample in there.


This video aged like milk as others have said. Imagine harrassing someone just because they were just trying to make memes more accessible, like dude, they are memes. Crazy how times have changed, now memes don't even live past 3 months. Emplemon was an edgy prick in this video.

@Sonic2Metro the low effort is a good point but the idea of killing meme culture was basically just head cannon and him using it to create this us vs them mentality that encouraged the trolling were extremely damaging and irresponsible. Tbh I think after that vid defending BTM he ought to have taken this one down.

@Sonic2Metro I don’t think it can be chalked down to naivety. Those videos of him doing that to himself we’re not that good of a thing to post I will agree on that. However it still was an actual interpretation of his own feelings. And yet emp just said “oh he’s stupid” instead of addressing how he actually had these thoughts. It’s a bit like kicking someone while they are down. A Bit of a dick move honestly

No. His points are pretty valid. It is a content analysis, and sure it took time for Emp to realise that Kyle was just a naive person, but doesn't change how his content was generic crap.


I think about this video a lot, mainly the first 6:30 mins. Like how normal can a normie get? And has memes let outsiders become normie benders, those with the power to control public discourse through the use of dank memes? I think that the first 6 or so minuets is one of the most intriguing view on society.

The way he categorizes people into two groups, normies and outsiders is extremely flawed.

There none or even few people who just “normy”. As in only consume mass media content and has absolutely 0 interest in any fringe media, hobbies or ideas. Most everyone has fringe personality traits. Some people like indie movies, some indie music and others it’s video games and others it’s cars. There’s typically something. And at the same time we call consume mass media. We all seen the newest Star Wars or marvel movie. Normie content is not not content dictated by a certain kind of person. It’s content that’s made to appeal to the most amount of people and that includes individuals with fringe and obscure likes and cultures. Your outcast meme lord is going to consume mass media. This idea that media is made for normies is just silly. There are no “normies”, everyone has their unique likes and interest. I’m sorry if yours mean that you’re alone and with no friends


The fact that the soundtrack of this video is not only formed by excellent songs, but are extremely well timed just makes it a thousand times better. Lemon really is a master of edition, even outside of YTP's.

Especially the moment with 21st Century Schizoid Man


Yeah, he took this too seriously, but I will give emp this, this is one of the best edited video essays I’ve ever seen to this day.


"I've got twice the-YEE"<br>I shouldn't have sipped at this exact moment :''D   Back to the video

"I've got twice the-YEE"
I shouldn't have sipped at this exact moment :''D   Back to the video


why are people still getting mad at this its like four years old and emp went back on pretty much everything he said here

So? He still kept the video up and it lead to people doxing BTM. If he cares so much about getting shit for it he should just remove it.


Modern day, a meme dies in a week or a month at most


My problem with BTM is not that he talks about memes (as if he was the first one to do it, which isn't), rather his format is BAD, no matter whether he talks about memes or movies or books or shit stains. It's dull, repetitive, carbon-copied and i felt like i had watched Disney Junior (or a kindergarten channel).

Banana Forever imo that would probably be better. That would still be kinda obnoxious and stale, but it at least would be closer to meme culture. Either that or I would prefer something more akin to Digibro's content, where the analysis goes in depth and involves a decent amount of research. BTM honestly looks like Buzzfeed from what I've seen, not a decent discussion on memes.

Not necesarily that (that's extremely cringey), but he beats around the bush a lot (in a video about Crash Bandicoot's "woah" he went and talked about how technology has improved over the years, in a completely unrelated way), directly reads from KYM and Wikipedia (if you want to explain something, at least try to look like you know wth are you talking about) and shows really few or not so informative examples of the meme (in the YTP video, he could have shown clips from YTPs when he was explaining the techniques instead of using a bland reaction gif, besides, his attempts to reenact them weren't that good either).

Ramón Elbal Ruiz He does that just to explain a meme what do you expect ? Something like this ?
" HELLLO UTUB i am Xx_MeemzAreLIIfe69_xX666 woah aNd nOw i wiill show sOmE meemz so ur NuT lUNgEr a Normee REEEEE and tHis isa meem" its like a documentary it doesnt need to be funny its most for the data

The video brings good points on the subject but I just found some of the jokes done here attempting to be edgy and just end up being obnoxious and annoying. I like the video, if only the video didn't have ear rape every 5 seconds then I'd say this is a great video. Also yes I have seen your later videos and I've seen that you don't do that stuff anymore, I just wanted to point it out here.


Back in 2017 some people call this video cringe, ironically this what i feel when i rewatch this video.


I feel that Lessons in Meme Culture does this right. A great narrator, actually researches for the origins of memes, and brings normies up to our level, while at the same time, being good content for outsiders.

Agreed, the guy called Tyrone to do his outro.


I was going to hate on this dude, but he speaks truth.

Hi I don't know you at all but here's a thank you for changing your mind on a topic based on information provided on the internet, you are a national treasure now congratulations.

420 likes? Fuck imma normie.<br>Send a how to convert back  pack to dank memer please!

420 likes? Fuck imma normie.
Send a how to convert back  pack to dank memer please!

Eli Martinez Well this guy has 150k+ subscribers, he's just jealous to behind the meme

Well he doesn't know his age group of his audience, and there for need to talk slower and explain what meme he is doing, and he use the internet for information. Wikipedia could be shady, but at least it is not CNN or WSJ

Voltaic King : since he doesn't know what he is talking about and has to use wikipedia and know your meme and talks to you like your a kindergartener.

Shit didn't finish it. But your opinions and you are entitled to them. I accept it you don't agree with me, and I accept your rights to have an opinion. But I'm trying to enlighten you guys to see the ideas from another person.

Why are people calling him a normie of been doing memes for some odds of times, and helping normies come to be not a normies who like memes, but become part of the meme world, from transforming from normies to memers? Is that we call our self? Well I started with yt p in 2014 because I was in a special ed school and I got out and started in public school, then the transforming of  a ytpooper to normal memer? Don't know what to call it btw . Started from my new friends as behind the meme, so he help me from being that ytp guy in school to a dank memer. Thanks behind the meme. If you don't agreed with me, that is your opinion and yo


The overpopulation of memes is also why community-specific memes last longer


I love how this video has more views than the Behind The Meme video on YouTube Poop itself. EmpLemon, you've done your job and you've done it well.


When life gives you Lemons, create an Empire of Lemons. Rule it.


I hope this video becomes a meme so Behind the Meme can explain it.

Let's wait for it to be on Know Your Meme or iFunny so that Behind The Meme can copy and paste it into his video and for him to edit it in with stock image and lazy GIFs.

Koge -mo But will it be more layers of irony than the succ guy?

Space Ace The irony would be off the roofs.

It's not on the Know your meme page or Wikipedia so it's going to be hard to explain unless he Screenshots it or records it. But it will be a pretty good downvote video by EmpLemon Fans and Anthony Fans.


You really put the Midnight Club 3 garage music as the background to your already amazing presentation. I respect you.... so much


I fucking LOVE "The Trial" never thought I'd hear it casually used in a youtube video. You always have great music in your vids!


“Welcome to content cuck” this aged beautifully.


I like this channel, but looking at this episode again, its kinda cringe how he sometimes double downs in the edgy shit for the sake of being edgy.

Kinda makes sense why it has so many dislikes.


Are you telling me that this guy's MOM had to defend him from Anthony Fantano...


Really love the new subtext that was added to the ''Content Cuck'' line,  aged like a fine wine.


That "content cuck" joke was oddly prophetic...


He comes off as very condescending in this video. He is essential saying he is above, superior and more intelligent than the average person. This is the first time I've seen him like this

This was one of his first essay videos that he made, right when he was transitioning from making YTP. In retrospect, yeah this video didn’t age the best. But overall his videos have increased in quality so much since.

When did you get that impression? His points are incredibly valid. Of course he realised that Kyle was just an innocent guy, and sure it isn't good that Kyle was harrassed. But this is the content analysis of fundamentally bad content

@cheeseman the 2nd honestly was pretty cringe even back then, I remember only ever using normie ironically to mock ppl using it years ago

@HYBRIDZ HQ in 2017 normie wasn't as cringe

His Nascar video about the cursed racetrack was the first video I watched of him so this fieels pretty silly and cringe in comparison. People unironically using normie is also kind of grating.

i think its sarcasm. I like EmpLemon so I hope it is?

i disagree, i believe his points are valid


I think the reason these comments are so negative is because people honestly don't understand why Behind The Meme is generally damaging on a communications level. People seriously need to research the history of what we commonly know as "memes." Also, with people criticizing his use of Normie, what other word could he use to describe the people who get meme leftovers when internet culture is done with them?

That mom joke says everything about you.

And why is this such a problem? It's seriously ironic that the community is complaining that "normies" are invading their personal "safe space". Almost as if there's this exclusive club with special snowflakes...

Explaining a meme is like open mechanism of a gun you understand it better but if you put a part (Normies) to wrong place it will be explode in your hand.

Salvo Denti I watched the video. It was trash. Who cares if people get sick of a meme. There is always a new great one on the way. Also stop saying the word normie.

Tupac Smalls Mathers its a problem because normies will use the meme so much that even normies will not find that meme anymore,did you even watched the video?

There will always be good memes and you can enjoy them. Who the fuck cares if a "normie" likes it.


If you want to see behind the meme done right just watch lessons in meme culture.


I see this history repeating itself with "meme"' channels that upload 20 edits of a meme per day. The pissing in a meme pool metaphor is so true that more people are pissing, and theyre pissing more. The day "meme channels" are eradicated. Memes will stop dying in 3 days.


Holy shit this was one of the funniest videos I've seen In a while. Emp, you're an excellent historian, but you truly are a god of earrape and poops. When you throw that in these videos, it's like if Michael Jordan was teaching a history class then suddenly did a massive slam dunk. Please do it more


i used to watch behind the meme and watch mojo when i was a stupid kid


I'd say Lessons In Meme Culture is a great alternative to BTM. He's quite engaging and explains memes pretty well.


How does he not know the first rule of the internet?

YOU DON'T FUCK WITH 4CHAN

How does he not know the first rule of the internet?

*YOU DON'T FUCK WITH 4CHAN*


I like how even a vocoded version of ice cube still gets screwed.


The whole Normies/Outsiders argument is one of if not the most pretentious things I've ever heard to be completely honest


Dissecting a joke is like dissecting a frog: no one cares, and the frog dies. Saw that on a Vsauce video and instantly thought of behind the meme

Except Behind the Meme just kind of pokes the frog from a distance until it dies, so he doesn't even learn anything from the 'dissection'.

FroffNix <br>I feel like your comment was a thinly veiled threat against KEK

FroffNix
I feel like your comment was a thinly veiled threat against KEK


This video is like a social experiment in retrospect


He predicted the memepocalypse. Good memes don’t even last a week now.


Starting at 20:47, I think that is the funniest thing Emp has ever done.


I don't pay attention to background music often but holy shit does it fit well in this video


Behind the Meme is gone these days. I'm saddened.

Behind the meme is like that one kid who crys over the littlest things in the world


I still never got the hate about this guy


God damn so gald emp grew out of this social outcast phase with an elite mindset. Can't believe he thought meme culture was "delicately" made and can be taken down just by some dude lol

Don't think I'd like his stuff nearly as much as I do now if he was still like this 😖


Shit, guess I'm failing my finals cuz this takes precedence over studying

It was your job ytp man! Now go tell Arthur that can't eat lunch in this town again!

Aw shoot! Was literally just watching your content 2 minutes ago before coming here, what are the chances of that huh.

@the heckler woah bestie why are you so aggressive

Woah, what the fuck is schaff doing here?

Filius Caturza if everyone’s an outsider, than no one is

You know what, I think teachers should let their students watch this video so the students can understand what's a normie and what's an outsider. The students can also be outsiders and they can avoid being a normie. I want a future where the balance of normies and outsiders returns or the future where the world doesn't have normies anymore. What do you think?

Schaffrillas Productions i got a 100 on my ww2 final exam<br>Maybe that studying really helped me

Schaffrillas Productions i got a 100 on my ww2 final exam
Maybe that studying really helped me

Who said you could take even a second to STOP making quality, Schaff?!


i love the jokes you put in this video. i come back to rewatch it just for em

fav one is the entire "Did you know Anthony Fontano is a music critic??" section


LMC actualy tells about the meme without any corny jokes.

Go to 9:57, pull up LIMC’s channel, and watch as you realize he’s behind the meme’s second incarnation


This video didn't age well lmao<br>But i still find it kinda funny

This video didn't age well lmao
But i still find it kinda funny


But actualy the fact that that memes become overused by normies is actualy good as it forces change and devolopment in the meme culture which makes things always intresesting and have more chance of being more and more entertaining

@ayy lmao ngl, you're actually the good guy here

@ayy lmao as always, a person im talking on the internet behaves like they arent the problem. Great. Nobody said i wasnt toxic, i only said stop being toxic. There was no hint at me saying/meaning "im not toxic". Your made up crap, keep it to yourself. Your analogy isnt as good as mine. Im rn gonna think about your analogy 1 last time........no it just doesnt make sense, it doesnt involve the masses like memes. Presidents to involve masses....since they vote.

@ayy lmao stop this toxic behavior. The original comment said "become overused by normies". Meaning the quick life span of memes forces constant change that gives room to constant "improvement". That logic really doesnt work with houses, its a bad comparison. I think it could be compared to Presidents. New Presidents will always show up, make mistakes and go. This cycle of each president failing to fix something always gives room to change and actually forces it, also people would be bored if their country would be perfect. With each improvement life gets better, but there is a limit to that, when that limit is reached or exceeded its bad.

ayy lmao Which one is more rational? A person who compares memes getting killed to buildings burning or someone who doesn’t compare memes getting killed to buildings burning?

yeap 101 Basically quantity over quality

The downside is that the lifespan of a given meme is far shorter. Memes used to be able to last months, now many memes die within 1-2 weeks.


This video is too short. We need more commentary from ya man. It's my favorite part of this channel when you mix memes and commentary into a smoothie like this

I’m from the future. He’s started a series called Never Ever which is basically this video but a little nicer.


12:54 was the funniest moment for me personally


That feel when I kinda relate to both normies and outsiders.


Behind the meme Telling us how the meme became ruins the fun of how the meme was created.


The best way to describe a normie is like that annoying little cousin that comes over to your house and starts touching and ruining all the Lego creations that you worked so hard on and spent so much time building. In fact they ruin your creations so badly that you cant even build the model anymore because half the pieces are missing so you just end up giving them the old pieces to let them make whatever garbage they want to. After a while you cave in and decide to get another lego set but once again the cycle repeats itself.

@nine I would preferably stomp on his lego builds with a steel capped boot

That happens to me a lot. Literally. But you end up with a bunch of extra pieces that you can use to make your own creations.

@Doublechindoge 7 <br>Ah. Excuse me then.

@Delta 118 Yeah, I know, I'm just saying for the sake of an analogy.

@Doublechindoge 7 <br>Diamonds aren't that rare, the supply is just artificially restricted to keep the price up.

@Doublechindoge 7
Diamonds aren't that rare, the supply is just artificially restricted to keep the price up.

@Januzai Ramli How dense are you? He is obviously an outsider.

Sounds like some trauma.... Wanna talk about it?

@Grave Book and that's why I don't trust anyone around my precious game files

Jose Rivera or the lil cousin who wants to play games and DELETES ALL MY SAVED FILES TO START A NEW GAME WHEN HE COULD HAVE STARTED A NEW GAME WITHOUT TOUCHING MY SHIT

@Incognito Of course there's a point where it becomes just being an asshole, but niche content is more valueable than mainstream media. It's like diamonds, why are they so valuable? because they're rare. Not only is niche content harder to create because there aren't anywhere near as many known conventions to follow as there is with mainstream media, but often niche stuff honestly is more complex. Basic things appeal to everyone, look at the logos for just about any mainstream company and I'd be surprised if you could spot more than 2 colours. Back when these companies were smaller their logos used to be more elaborate 9 times out of 10, just look at the old Google Chrome logo. Complex things appeal far more, but only to the people that appreciate them. I mean - I hate rock music, but I personally would have far more respect for some metal head that listens to hardcore screamo saying it's the best music ever, than someone who listens to nothing but Gangnam Style, Ed Sheeran and Kanye West songs on repeat and claims to have the best taste in music. (not targetting them in particular, just talking about pop music in general.)

   I will agree that while I agree with EmperorLemon's overall philosophy in this video, he goes a bit too far into the realms of pretentious, but I mean can you blame him? The YTP community's constantly misunderstood by people outside of it, and BehindTheMeme made the situation much worse. At the point he's made this video too, he's just had to deal with hundreds of his new "fans" constantly spamming him to make a sequel to one of his videos he explicitly said he was not going to do. He's had to deal with the ignorance of others around him for a while at this point. Things have gotten better now, but at the time of this video things were not going well for him.

And then you step on the Legos at the cousin’s house cuz the little shit was too lazy to clean up after himself

Jose Rivera I can't tell which side you are on


Behind the meme mislabeling memes that have changed over the years since they were made!

A prime example of Behind the Meme mislabeling a meme that has changed since it was created: YouTube poops


It's ironic how most of your of your viewers started as "normies" but you dislike them so much


i may be a normie, but at least i can research memes and like outsider media. i might be evolving

Dont call yourself a "normie" if you can act like a decent human being, you dont deserve that title


well now we have lessons in meme culture


@ZAIPOLLIZAM ABDUL MALEK Anthony fantano

@Staples Inc. who own the channel beofre it was abandoned?

@The Plush Palooza just because someone is respectful doesn’t mean they’re a simp

Wonder what emp thinks of fantano in 2020 lol what the hell happened

The plan is to be honest with your viewers…

thatistheplan MAD RESPECT MEMELORD! 🙇♂👏👌

@Jose Castillo no but we should raid the channel as an act of revenge or maybe we could give these guys a taste of their own medicine by accusing them of alt right like how they did to Fantano's channel so the rest of the MSM can give them a bad reputation and the MSM will fall for anything

@Viper Volkan mind filling me in? Did Fader invade Anthony Fantos second channel?

Hey it's you!!! The guy who was mentioned in the video!!!

But yeah that's probably the response Behind The SENTENCE SHIFTING's gonna give to this (I'm being too optimistic with my idea of him getting the message). But I'm a woman myself and I try you know?

I'm okay with being called a normie because I kinda am. I'm just doing my best to be an outsider (even though I just realised I kinda am in a way).

But I don't see why the FUCK he didn't just roast you himself. Probably too scared.

And he should be especially now!!! The meme nation will attack.

But we all know that Drake vs Josh is the best one.

Review the new EmpLemon YTPMV album review.

FANTANO IS A NORMIE WHO IS CULTURALLY APPROPRIATING MEMES AND IT IS V. OFFENSIVE

thatistheplan
You know what I am sold. I don't hate BTM but he isn't that great. He did a terrible job at explaining some memes and I know this (ESPECIALLY Ken Bone it made him look bad).
The "roast" on you felt awkward and unneeded.

Edit: I unsubbed to him while I was scrubbing my YT channels to channels I was no longer interested. I felt the videos were all too similar and there was nothing I could look forward to that I haven't seen. I will check your channel in greater detail later but if EmoLemon likes you I think I shall like you.

The BEST TEETH IN THE FUCKIN' GAME is here guys!


0:30 did emp predict a meme 3 years in advance


Dude had a bright future ahead of him, seems like the hate got to him, feels kind of undeserved. Although I guess this was during a time of when edgyness was thriving, wrong place wrong time.

@Uncle Gyro HOLY SHIT YOU SAID A WORD WE ALL KNOW THATS A JOJO REFERENCE

Kill me

@The lasagna Man  if you're going on about how saying the same jokes over and over is unfunny, why don't you take a look at yourself

HOLY SHIT IS A FUNNY BIG CHUNGUS JOJO REFERENCE

Posts shitty videos to earn easy money
Fakes his suicide after slight criticism
States that he promotes mental health
Yeah, no. Nothing of value was lost that day


I remember when I was like 8 and loved watching Behind the Meme and remember when the whole thisistheplan situation happened and how I was so mad at Anthony for criticizing one of my favorite channels.....not my best moment


"funding for meme theory is paid by FUCKING NO ONE" made me spit out my drink, good music choice. i love coming back to your old vids. :)

Luke Mixon <br>I don’t think I ever saw a meme that was completely unavoidable no matter where you went. I never searched up “how to install blah blah blah” and then saw a massive wave of unhelpful jokes.

Agree with this guy who posted the comment

Luke Mixon <br>Maybe if that’s bothering you, you should get off the Internet and stop consuming memes altogether for regular periods of time. This will allow the joke to not go to rectal matter. Other people don’t enjoy it anymore? That’s their problem.

Na Zhao,

An Inside Joke is something only a few people should know. The saying "the more, the merrier" is false in the modern era. Because in this case, more people who know a joke, more people will say a joke. And by that, the joke becomes bland and repeated everywhere. So, that joke becomes an abandonment.

Inside jokes are only funny among a few people, no? Well, if more people know about it, you abandon it...WHY? Because now if you tell the joke, more people will find it funny? Wow, cool. I didn’t know that was a valid reason to HARASS SOMEONE AND PUT THEIR LIFE IN DANGER ONLINE


This video is a masterpiece and a turning point on internet culture


my man really didn't know how to balance his audio back in the day, these old videos are pretty much unwatchable on speakers without adjusting the volume heaps


I love that There is actually someone here with a brain when it comes to Memes


For me its humility and realizing humbleness , im more of a underground guy, but i usually do some stuff thats considered normie

Kno why? Because it helps me with communications and others.. its like you notice your falses and realize what helps you

Sociology actually helped me realize, love your videos Emp

@Максим already got one , thanks for the concern

Bro, stop smoking weed and get a real job


I love it how normies here act as obnoxious as possible in the comments, because that's how they imagine not being a normie.

Imagine seriously labeling yourself an “outsider”

I just don’t get why emp didn’t make a video on pewdiepie who is arguably worse than btm

@Lolita Goth just do as he said and don't get a mullet

@Lolita Goth Well, I wouldn't expect you to go through the metric shit ton of stuff that I wrote and memorise it for a test, but I at least hope that you take something from it and maybe even correct if I'm wrong on something instead of writing it all off for its length, though I accept that I went a bit overboard for a simple comment

@Lolita Goth Dude, neither you nor the others in this comment section quite needed to throw shit at each other in a fruitless manner, I really don't think someone who is actually aware of how meaningless, and sometimes even harmful to your relationships with others, these discussions are would still go into the comment section, go annoy someone who they know won't sit and take it, and then respond to every single reply they get. You can do whatever you want with your time, but trying to always get the last response due to whatever your asspulled reason for arguing with these guys is wouldn't be on the top of my priority list. Really the only reason why I'm even replying in a "battle" that's not even mine is because it's always annoying to see people who are not aware of how condescending they sound, especially with how you think you already got out of that "superiority complex phase" just to sit down and type furiously on your phone or computer a comment that no one's gonna care about but that people will remember for future interactions with you, if you think that channels like these are full of hornet nests, then don't go around flailing a bat randomly at the first thing you see that doesn't sit right with you, you're right, a lot of people have sh*tty or rather unmemorable lives, so it would be best to show them that going into the internet while desperately looking for a distraction won't reward them with just some random dude on the internet who thinks their opinion matters more than yours, hell, the world is kinda sh*tty in general, so I would recommend acting in a more empathetic way so people know that at least someone out there acknowledges their existance and that there are communities to which they can go if they need help instead of the almost childish, nonsensical debates that one can find on nearly any youtube video, regardless of topic. Life usually ain't nice, and telling others discouraging things just because you think you have a pride to defend isn't gonna make it nicer neither for them nor you

@Lolita Goth I'm not though, that's why I'm asking.

Just one question: is the US economy really so far down that being employed is considered... well, something worth mentioning at all? I've been bumping into people who boast about simply being employed more and more often in recent years. What the fuck?

@Lolita Goth Damn, you're too typical to talk to. Next!

@Lolita Goth You're calling something cringe, then proceed to spew out stuff like "special snowflake" and "do your homework, kid". Classical normie boomer meme lord wannabe.

Why are you actually using the term normie, you are the definition of cringe.

@name Thanks for the illustration, friend!

Imagine using the word "normie" unironically

@Jeyphr I like eating popcorn watching these animals run around

Devvrat Singh lmao don’t take me back to 6th grade

And that, everyone, is a perfect example of 'situational irony'.

usage of the word normie qualifies you as a normie

They make paragraphs on why people's jokes are """""wrong"""""


As dumb as this video is, it’s a piece of internet history and it holds a special place in my heart.


This video aged so well. All the normies finding this vid years later proves it

The fact that people refer to normal people as “normies” is just sad.


1:52 Holy fucking shit, man, you put The Gates of Delirium in your video?! Respect. What a great fucking song.

Edit: The soundtrack of the video in general is awesome. Good shit.


I legit don't get why this video has a 5:1 like to dislike ratio. It's baffling how some people just won't listen to reason.


You did the worst thing, 1.6M views,  you probably explained what a normie is to a normie. We are about to enter a dark age where normies think they are outsiders.

3 years later look at this video's comment section, OP's prediction came true and it's true generally for all of the internet except for what little places we have left.

Shadow The Hedgehog <br>> Implies knowledge of edgy memes with a profile named Shadow the Hedgehog.

Thats bullshit even tho i found this video hilarious and I despise behind the meme boy, there is no such things as normie and even if there is there are definitly not "outsiders". Whole explenation of outsider sounded like bullied kid crying about others being normies while hes special.

Why can't we all just like stuff because we like it, not because less people like it or more people like it, I like games that have a mass following not because of that fact, but because I enjoy it. Call me a normie, but atlest ill be happy

Timcinema Cringe, if popcorn was  chicken, what would happen to the normies?

we can't trust anyone  if they are a normie

better start taking exlax<br>we need to get those shits out of here

<b>kas :</b> oh right rawr XD is offensive to dinosaurs

They always have, I think I'm one of the outsiders, yet I very well could be a normie.

I'm an edgy memer do I count?
Rip X 🐒🔫🐵
    😔🙏

The only solution is for the outsiders to become normies. Once all the normies are outsiders and the outsiders are all normies, then the outsiders will still be outsiders, but will ironically be known as normies.

I know it happened to my friend, he was called a normie by a normie(he's no normie)

normie do not care to watch half an hour of trash talk

This is exactly what I was afraid of. The time has come

To you Im an outsider, to my people im a normie.

Joseph Stalin to who are you replaying to?


Ooh boy, how the internet has changed over the last 4 years


theres a fine line between memeing and just shoving every meme in existence and buddy chum pal friend

you just crossed it


I came expecting a YTP. What I got was a philosophy.<br>I am satisfied

I came expecting a YTP. What I got was a philosophy.
I am satisfied


the amount of people in this comment section that call this cringy and cancer just pisses me off. even if emplemon put a bunch of ytp edits in, doesnt change the fact that he called out btm on how bad he is at memes, like did nobody fucking watch the video, or did they stop after the 3rd earrape? like when i see emplemon use earrape and his normal jokes in other videos, its fine, but for some reason now he gets hate for it? people these days, cant take jokes. all these people that have no idea what they are talking about can just get off the stage, they are making me miss the contest. great vid emplemon, keep it up.

U know a good way to trigger people with "chill" in their name lmao

Fosterpin the latter, besides if emplemon was taking memes seriously, it was to prove a point that behind the meme doesnt know jack shit about them, besides if people really think he takes memes too seriously, they are going off one video that they saw. he talks about memes seriously, he doesnt take them seriously. just because a meme is silly, or retarded, doesnt mean you can have serious discussions about them


This is so relevant today, anyone even remember the grubhub ad? that thing stopped being used after almost 2 weeks.<br>That thing with the "Oh you like Star wars? Name every clone trooper then." was able to get a bit of an exhale at first, but channels begun milking it and milking it until it was all you'd see them upload.

@J(gay)Rock (official MELONLORD) “Some random person”

Yubi Yubi!!

Yea its kinda depressing. I remember when memes would last a good while. It may as well not even be called memes at this point since everyone knows the meme. Memes from what I understand are basically inside jokes but mass spread. once the normies got ahold of meme culture it was bound to get bad. because normies make everything worse.

Remember the oversimplified logos meme? That's right, you don't. Because 90% of the memes about it were text-to-speech saying "oh good day to be alive. I hope [company name] doesn't oversimplifie my logo!". Nowadays memes are so oversaturated and repetitive, that they die in less than 2 weeks.

You also had that " Eekum Bokum " meme.
That died out faster than an infected goldfish.
I never even found it funny, it's just some random person repeating a Banjoo Kazooie sound effect.

I'd say the current era of milking memes until they die is even worse than it was in 2016-17

I actually edited the comercial for fun because I do bad edits when I am bored to an extreme, I just wanted to do something related to All Star from Smash Mouth


Just discovered your channel and have been binging your old videos for two days but I gotta say, watching this after watching you complain about the YTP community hating on you is kind of ironic. It’s not a 1-1 situation but it’s pretty ironic still


Good grief.  I’ve watched this about three times and never bothered to look at that Britain-Made WWII-era poop.  Our senses of humor haven’t changed all that much.


It's not funny now and it wasn't funny 5 years ago


0:32 Emp my boy you just predicted a 2020 Ian SIMPson meme


6:54 - that was one of the bassiest bass hit i've ever encountered.


Lessons in meme culture and internet historian are behind the meme done right.


Like the more videos of yours I watch, I enjoy them more because there's a built structure of reoccurring gags


Always loved you Emp. Back when BTM was still thriving I was on your side on this, but now, as an adult with morals and definitely not as nerdy as I was 5 years ago, a lot about this videos just feels more wrong. Sure, exploring the history and culture behind memes was a job anyone could do, but tell that to anybody else nowadays because it makes no sense to me that you say that, but THEN you fucking say he can't have that role. I mean, if your goal was, in the end, give him constructive criticism to fix his videos, then maybe you and Anthony Fuckface or whatever that guys name was should've been more direct, and actually constructive rather than demeaning and rude ON TOP of your normal criticisms. You can't expect change if you don't actually present it in a way the other person might like.
I'm gonna be a little hypocritical here, but I think this video contains some of the most nerdy lines ever spoken. "hE's eXPoSinG OuR prECIouS mEMEs tO tHE nOrmIEs." is definitely hyperbolic, but things along those lines came up in the video several times and it really, genuinely just gives me Reddit energy. You also present this video as a theory, I can't remember 2017 all too well but I imagine theories were just a big thing at the time because there's literally no point now, or then, in calling this video a fucking theory. It's just a roast that led a man off of his throne by assholes who just couldn't be nice or constructive.
In conclusion, this video is 5 fucking years old. Me replying to it probably has no effect because maybe you've learned since then, or maybe you'll go on not caring that a big channel carried by a kind soul was brought to it's knees. Maybe I shouldn't be caring either by this point. I know I have a lot more important things to do than remember a meme historian from several years ago and rant about him a little. But it's whatever. I still love your videos, Emp. Just thought I'd share my thoughts on this old piece.

And I don't have the time, but eh. I expect the worst.

Akogiri, if you reply to this I'm gonna be real sad because I genuinely have nothing else to say or argue with here. Lmao


I have NEVER watched a YT video that's over 20 mins long and didn't repeat itself ONCE throughout the whole video.

Well Done, Sir

WELL DONE, INDEED

PastelBleach emphasis isnt always redundant

Didn't repeat itself? The guy said "Normie" too many times to fucking count.

Debunked Monk Becaus3 apparently dragging out a video is K.

Splatdude431 haha funy me me pe pe y a ya???!? M m mmm mm??

E drop Watch Idubbbz's new content cop, that's a long video that you'll like too


Emp, this video is too short. Next time, I want an hour long video to feast my eyes on.


Behind The Meme ruined a whole generation of memes


5 years later and this is one of my most favorite videos to watch. Thank you emp lemon


@EXPLODYZ at least I  will always have a screen capture to remember it by. I sent it to EmpLemon on twitter.

@Mamamew TheRani someone already ruined it

I want to like but I am not about to change that 911 joke.


16:40 had me laughing my head off I spit water everywhere


At this point in time, L.I.M.C. has really become what Behind The Meme should have been.

He’s for normies who think they are not normies


It's [current year] and I am still definitely putting this in my favorites list


@EmpLemon hi love your content. Question: What is your opinion on lessons in meme culture?


Behind The Meme: For people who are too lazy to use Know Your Meme

StickMaster500 which is already outdated

For some reason, my comment got more likes than yours, StickMaster5000. Should I be proud?

Matthew Root <br>No, if people really wanted to find out about memes, then they can check it themselves, find out new things about the meme. While I may be a normie, at least I want to find out even a tiny bit about what I'm being shown. It takes two minutes to go though a KYM page, not much life lost there and if you have 2/3/4/5G you can check it on the go, so no, your argument holds no water.

dude they're just memes... you can't live without them?

go outside


I fall somewhere in between normie and outsider. I believe most people fit that category. With that being said. I love my dank memes, and hate it when they get diluted by people who don’t respect the source material.


I can't believe its already been 3 years.


I know a good meme - but I will never proclaim myself to be an expert but this, this is good


Yesterday we went to the graveyard to grieve over one of my uncles who just died.

2 of my cousins came (who are 6 and 7 years old) started DABBING, saying "swag" (of all things) and doing BOTTLE FLIPS (the ones that landed perfectly made them scream) around other graves, i was so fucking mad at them i wanted to let them know that shit is gonna get them humiliated in the future.

Anti-normies aren't really that different from normies. They just want to find some meaning for themselves and find it in some pretty worthless stuff. At least normies realize how worthless it really is and just roll with it while anti-normies get all twingy gatekeepers for something worthless. Their stuff earns to get normified.

That my friend is the eighth deadly sin known as yeeting a grave.

Hyperdrifter20 (or maybe they are kids.)

Kinda ironic considering your profile pic, but its still pretty horrible that your cousins did that

I have no friends at my school because everyone they're all normies they bully me and when I'm stressed they say DAB IT OUT and when I go tell them to stop because they are annoying they say dab on those haters... <b>YOU CANT ESCAPE THE NORMIES. EVEN IN DECEMBER OF 2017</b>

My class hates one person.

He fucking dabs at the wrong moment

Jack Redplay in 5th grade I was in special ed and my teacher would let me sit with the general ed kids (witch i regret) and 80% of the time they would dab bottle flip their milk jugs and lie that they have you tubers in there Xbox live friends list and they think I'm weird the teachers then got sick of the kids bottle flipping there milk jugs and told them to stop and then they kept doing it anyways and then they were saying school is prison because they can't share there food even though you never know we're the fuck they put there hands the one thing that always bothered me is the youtubers in their Xbox live friends list part they would say: I hAVe H20 DerUeS in MY friends list <b>sigh</b> I always wonder what the new generation of kids will be like probably awful little shits.

For my birthday, my parents bought me a fidget spinner because they knew I disliked them. I still have it to this day, and I'm thinking of either tossing it in a fire or selling it to an immature kid at my school.

Nobody probably cares, but I thought I could elaborate on this.

You should've gotten the gucci belt out to teach them a lesson.

Kaulinis the cubes are way better than the Spinners, but I don't have one cause no ADHD

Caroline Dotcheva this is why I like the friends that I have.

Hire Me Taco Bell i was the only one who noticed they were doing those things

Jack Redplay your cousins are those kids that everyone hates because they are late to every trend and try to act cool

My uncle also died in 2016. I wanted to go to the funeral but my mom made me want to just stay, due to her reaction.

Every time my brother dabs, does a bottle flip, or tries to act cool I want to punch him. I am sorry for your loss to I know how you feel. My grandmother died of cancer two years ago. My brother didn't want to go to the funeral.

That is just disgusting...people are grieving someone who died and 2 kids this let's start dabbing and screaming.

Imagine 20 years from now people will do stupider things...

wow, at my schools teaparty there was a fucking figit spinner cafe

@Maggot Smasher I just find his newer videos forced.

Meme will dead anyways with or without LIMC.


26:50 I think we ran out of clean water. The unsustainable roaring '20s esc economy of memes from this time finally caught up with us, and it seems like it's collapsed into a depression in, ironically, the 2020s. We are still using the same old memes over and over again, and there hasn't been a big super meme in awhile. This isn't just another meme drought like '16 or '19, google trends shows that after march 2020, the economy collapsed. It has been decreasing over the past 2 years, and has reach a low not seen since 2015, 6 years ago. Just like the actual economy during the 20th century, all it took was a spark like the lockdown to blow the whole thing up. Now we have memes that last as long as they did in the pre-normie era, but since normies now have excess to this stuff like never before, memes have the shell life of a meme during the 2015-2019 era, the worst possible combination of each era's respective traits. It's like going from a fine wine that you can drink for years, to a bottle of juice that only lasts a few weeks, to continuingly poisoning yourself by drinking something that only lasts a few weeks for 2 years. All we do now is swim in the same old piss travelling aimlessly, hoping and praying that we can find a new lily pad to jump onto before we drown.


idk why samoa joe's theme made me laugh so much. it was the last thing i expected


this video is- eh
i love emp but honestly this video is kinda hard to watch, he was in highschool and it shows lol.
some of his points were- kind of right?   i think it’s just the way he brings up his points just makes him look like an asshole on the internet
glad he ended up being a m u c h more adept content creator over time, also the earrape still is awful here holy shit lmao


Analyzing a joke is like dissecting a frog. Sure, you’ll understand more about the frog, but you’ll kill the frog in the process.

It's like saying a joke isn't funny if you understand it and why it's funny.

behind the meme doesn't dissect the frog, he just pokes at it from a distance so nothing new is learned

But when you try to make new a new frog ot try something new with a frog, it can help a lot when you know the literal ins and outs of the frog and use it to innovate new... frogs...

If you understand enough about frogs maybe you can create your own frogs that have guns and lazer eyes

@Tiny Ghoul mines still moving... what do I do?

Analyzing a joke is like dissecting a frog. Sure, you’ll understand more about the frog, but the frog is Pepe, who is obviously now a symbol of hate.

@Tiny Ghoul and in that case, it’s totally fine. However, Behind The Meme was dissecting some live frogs...

@Revolver Ocelot I at a frog... Taste like chicken for me.

@Tiny Ghoul In a way, we are all the frog.


the best thing behind the meme has done to me is introduce me to meme culture and subsequently (around 5 videos later) make me realise he isnt good


I just want to say I appreciate just how much Pink Floyd music you use.


I still remember when Behind the Meme did a video on the Woah meme...

Then went on a downward spiral.


4:17 When the levee breaks had me dying 🤣


This is basically Content Cop - Behind The Meme

Reuben Holland the only anti-behind the meme comment I will actually like. Kudos to you, Reuben.

No points, did you even understood what he said? He Explained why behind the meme sucks.

WHAT WE DO HERE IS <b>DOWNWARD SPIRAL DOWNWARD SPIRAL</b>

WHAT WE DO HERE IS *DOWNWARD SPIRAL DOWNWARD SPIRAL*

isnt this dude just making basically the same vids btm is?

WHAT WE DO HERE IS GO BACK-BACK-<b>DOWNWARD SPIRAL DOWNWARD SPIRAL DOWNWARD SPIRAL</b>

WHAT WE DO HERE IS GO BACK-BACK-*DOWNWARD SPIRAL DOWNWARD SPIRAL DOWNWARD SPIRAL*

That's literally what he said at the beginning of the video

Everyone go to idubbbz and spam "Content Cop - Behind The Meme"

WHAT WE DO HERE IS GO <b>BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA</b>

WHAT WE DO HERE IS GO *BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA*


Videos explaining memes or some internet phemenom that happened back in the day are still the lowest form of content, full stop


2021, meme's pretty much don't exist anymore


lessons in meme culture does a really good job of exploring the origin of memes as well analyzing the ideas that go into their creation and deeper developments they represent within internet culture


it's been 4 years. we're in hell. creativity is almost entirely dead. memes live for days at best. 4chan and tumblr and the closest we have to homes. all hope is lost

@キノ eh, they moved now on Twitter ever since the nsfw purge. Tumblr's pretty dead but I'd rather chill there for fanarts and stuff rather than lose braincells on the birb site

I bet that in 4 years memes will last for some hours


The lego movie shows the difference between normies and the outsiders. Think about it. Emmet, the main character was an outsider trying to fit in with the normies until he realized that there was other outsiders.

Awkward way to describe but youre still right

Furthermore, Pres. Business wanted to keep his own world ( he rules the entire world.... ) the exact way it was until our lil hero told him people were making something new out of his creations.

Good shit.

Finally my childhood toys making a difference in the world XD

The Lego Movie will never be the same again!


well the funny thing is, I was a normie, I confess, and I learned memes from Behind The Meme, and here I am, hating the creator that brought me into this world


Where you seriously getting worked up over him “ruining meme culture”? Really? Memes aren’t suppose to be taken seriously yet here you are defaming a person over criticism that, while subjective, wasn’t warranted in hindsight.


the real meme was the friendships we made along the way


I personally believe that "Lessons in meme culture" is far, far greater, it gets to the point, and has a commentator that doesn't sound like he lacks vocal chords causing him to use his fucking ears, or his ass, so yeah, that's why he's so good, but fantan is still perfection in my opinion and in the opinions of every sane person on Earth


Him trying to convert all normies to being outsiders is like Syndrome from The Incredibles saying, "When everyones super, no one will be."

Brendan 4 Emp has different morals. Syndrome had the goal of everyone being low and the same. If I were to guess, Emp would most likely rather everyone unified higher up together, then low.


I know it's been 4 years but goddamn go touch some grass if you're going to cry over a meme.


But hey,that's just a theory.
A meme theory!
Thanks for spiraling


I remember in 2018 I kept saying I wasn't a normie, but whoever made memes to me wasn't a normie, and I'd always repost memes to Snapchat and Instagram and twitter and always wanted everything easy. Thought I was cool. Well I completely proved myself to be a normie in 2018. and when I did make a meme, it was unfunny. Anyway, that is just special needs at it's finest... No, I don't use any sm anymore so that's one thing.

Also, my child self detail on what youtube poops are
"Tv shows that are edited and are inappropriate"


This video has so many likes! Must not be controversial at all!


- Did youtube poop for 7 years
- is still called a normie

Aight.

Corporate Shill was talking bout EmpLemon but aight dude

Huh.

I'd comment, but i'm just an unimportant normie.

I think.

MasterOFlame The one who made the video, EmpLemon. All those edits are his works.


I am so happy hearing someone sharing my hate on Watch Mojo. ... There is nothing worse then that sterile delivery on every topic.


Behind the meme: remember me outsiders when I ruined your Memes I talked JUST... LIKE... THIIIIISSSSS

Roger rabbit reference


This video is a relic of its time like no other


As controversial as this video was... It takes me back to a simpler time...


The fact that he didn't do a video like that about LIMC proves that the internet had changed and the people don't care that much now.

Emplemon never said you cant explain memes. why do people keep making this arguement

Emp doesn't just blindly follow trends though, he wouldn't do it for two other reasons:

1. His 1st video caused BTM to literally get doxed and he felt bad about it.
2. LIMC is a much better channel and way less condescending, so he probably doesn't have a problem with him.

Tbh Limc is leagues better than behind the memes in quality since Limc just gets to the point of his videos and does his research <br>But I agree the internet does go through phases that last a few years

Aged like fine milk. Honestly miss this guy. Not lemon… behind the meme. Genuinely didn’t deserve the hate and would probably be very successful if he covered tiktok trends or something. He was actually very ahead of the curve

His videos were low quality and 98% of the time he completely missed the point of each meme and poorly explained them to his wide audience. Lessons in Meme Culture is a way better channel that serves his purpose, and I'm glad BTM gave way for that channel instead.

@SpainCat is that wrong? the fact that people mad over a funny internet meme is stupid. they treat like it's a culture thing

but that was a past. he did apologize him after a year later

@SpainCat not you specifically, the Internet as a whole

@SpainCat no. I like to talk about things i don't know just to look interest online. Nothing fancy. Quite average actually.

@Siddiq 069 Hell naw. Does that change the fact that his content is still mediocre to the majority?

@MiraMuchachito I mean I feel like the video is a little too harsh, but it’s not fuckin bullying. Do you even know what bullying is?

@SpainCat you weren’t criticizing him you were bullying him

@SpainCat Criticised? Definitely<br>Rallying a bunch of 12 year old Redditors who thinks liking memes is a "Personality trait" + makes you a "cool non normie outcast" thus cyberbully someone for doing what he liked even though he didn't ask for it? Definitely not

@SpainCat this is not critic. This is bulliying

Are you saying he shouldn’t be criticized?


2006 was the perfect time to grow with youtube and memes


Meme's are the "inside joke" of the internet. you sometimes keep it away from people you deem "uncool or unworthy" and share it with people you share similarities with. just think about it, you watch a movie with a friend, you both find a quote funny, then later you keep quoting it.

No wonder the circle game transitioned easily, it was a meme before meme awareness.

Isn't the definition of a meme something that spreads from one person to another? No I pick them over them kinda thing involved?


"You'll die in seven days if he makes of video of you" behind the memes channel seems lacking now, ironically he seemed to be a content creator who can kill trends.


That Seinfeld - Lincoln Park mix hit different


BtM is the kid talking during class and the teacher stops and says "Well seems like you know this already, how about you come up here and teach the class?" And he actually tries to teach the class and be funny about it but nobody is laughing.


Emplemons content is really good but please do not make this your overall impression of him. This video has aged horribly bad and his new content is much better

@A Isopod he’s ranting about normies that are ruining memes, if you did that shit nowadays you’d actually be a laughing stock

The video it's self is fine, it's just how acts in it is awful, that's why is bad


Internet historian > behind the meme <br>any day

Internet historian > behind the meme
any day

you should not be proud of liking sargon and those entry level types of non-national socialist conservatives.

are you fucking kidding me

internet historian is a million times more informative, interesting and UNIQUE than BTM. The majority of what IH focuses on is 4chan events that only 4chan users would even recognize, and 95% of the rest would have never even heard about. BTM is the lowest hanging fruit of this kind of culture

I see you quite often, your-ah bring reason to most comment sections ; I hereby awahd  you with a Presidential Medal of Freedom for bringing peace and redpills never stop, never ponder - bring the truth. Also 10/10

Lol true but you're comparing diamonds to nuggets of shit.

I've subscribed to you a few months ago just because of how often I see you.

If BTM isn't faking it and actually kills himself the blood is NOT on Emp's hands.

@Isaac's Channel lol cope please go touch grass

I wish it was fake but I do think all the doxxing broke his mind

If he does end up dead the world would be a better place.

@Jo Eb Yeah, considering this video is about how shitty his channel is, he did expect that. What you are probably trying to say is "he wanted to get people to personally attack the person behind the video", but that is false.

he is faking. emp already posted a new video in response to this

@Inx Madrazo

BTM shoved himself in mirror, blurred face, shooting himself with a fake gun that had gunshot sound and blood effect edited. With at the end it says “BTM is dead (kinda)” and even if it was real, in the fake videos he says that he has no friends, and if he had no friends who would upload the video after he would die and still edit it.

@H G were you able to watch the vid? Got taken down before i could see what happened

I agree. EmpLemon pointed out real problems with his content and never attacked him personally. I feel sorry for BTM though, as the "haters" weren't as polite about it as emplemon.


Behind the meme is actually a normie himself.

A worse version of Logan Paul when he clickbaits.


6:11 Damn EMP been on that metal fingers stuff since before it was a moderately popular ytpmv. Good shit.


Imagine gatekeeping memes, and bullying a guy who just wants to make a video about memes


whenever i watch emplemon i always feel theres some earape just around the corner...


26:55 God, this is so true. I miss back when memes were still relevant YEARS after being made. Now one doesn't even last a month...(looking at you, 'Jack-o Challenge')


Why does emp sound alot like behind the meme  (voice)? is it just me?


This video gets a thumbs up just for playing Gates of Delerium and Blank Banshee - Start Up  back to back.


I love the fact that you’ve literally played the same racing games I have, and play their music and reference them in your videos.

I love how you use Rapp snitch kanishes. Never thought I would meet another doom fan on youtube.


LIMC is the vastly superior version of behind the meme

@Adolf Hitler if having “soul” is reading off of know your meme word for word, then yeah it is


Thank you for making this video.  We need more people to shed light on this garbage "content"

Apandah Glad he wasted 30 minutes to talk about the dumbest YouTube channel and not the topic as a whole

BTIsaac Behind the meme was pretty popular. Keeps popping up in weird places.

+Apandah When Lemon legit said that he isn't "exposing" Behind the Meme but viewers (aka Normies) wish to incite drama. Basically how YouTube drama happens I guess, one YouTuber makes a video of light criticism, then the normies in the fanbase or a normie viewer wishes to take this to incite drama.(or attempt) I admit, not always normies incite drama, but generally they do.

memes aside, I really do agree with you and EmpLemon.


I find it kind of strange that Emp calls out BehindtheMeme for stealing meme review from Anthony Phantano, but when PewDiePie does it ( didn't even change the name) he doesn't say anything...

@Gustav Ferreira <br>Pewdiepie was worse lmao look at reddit

@Gustav Ferreira
Pewdiepie was worse lmao look at reddit

@Leo V. this video is over three years old. I watched it in high school when this video came out. Now these days he doesn’t do meme content anymore.

@Gustav Ferreira That's not part of the argument. I was saying that Pewdiepie downright stole meme review from Anthony Phantano. He didn't even change the name and the rating system is the same. <br>Also, does he really review memes better? All he does is reacting to the memes, the same thing he does in LWIAY and You laugh, you lose.  At the beginning he also used to rate the memes, but as the parts went on he did it less and less, so it's not even a review anymore, it's just a try not to laugh, except he laughs anyway.

Maybe it's because, unlike Behind the Meme, PewDiePie does a good job at reviewing memes.


First When the Levee Breaks by Led Zeppelin and then Lazy by Deep Purple? Goddamn Emp, you've got excellent taste in music!


If you're explaining the 'in-joke' to everyone each time a new one is made, you're killing the in-jokes.

who cares?! it's not like the Internet is gonna run out of in jokes!


BTM was made for normies to explain memes to them.


The fact that I find that channel boring is my certificate of not being a normie.


Lessons In Meme Culture is like BtM but better.
