“Meme” is an interesting term, because it's kind of evolved over the years. Ryan Burton: Honestly, it’s hard to describe. When did you decide that you wanted to do this. Then we ended up deciding to go to college together. Then we went to separate high schools, but we still remained friends. We were in a gym class, and then we just kind of stuck together throughout all middle school. We met when we were in 6th grade, and we went to middle school together. Noah Taitano: Ryan and I have known each other since we were 10 years old.

Check out the video below and continue for the full interview. Before they dropped the third version of the meme series (this time set to Jesse McCartney's “Beautiful Soul”) on Friday, Complex spoke with the creators of the meme: 21-year-old Drexel students Ryan Burton and Noah Taitano. The juxtaposition of the visuals against the sugar-sweet lyrics and production made the video go viral on Twitter, Instagram, and Youtube.ĭays later, another version popped up on social media, this time set to Justin Bieber's “Somebody to Love.” The world must have been waiting for another one, because it also went viral. But when you un-mute the video, you're met with the pop stylings of Big Time Rush, the boy band from the now-off air Nickelodeon show of the same name. While a mob of young black men take swigs out of Hennessey bottles, flaunt cash, and make gun gestures with their hands in the background, a few of them step forward to recite lyrics to what most would assume belong to a hard rap song. Twitter account a video simply titled, “When the music video doesn’t match the song.” If you watch the visuals on mute, it looks like your average video pulled together by an aspiring rapper. The day after Christmas, the world was blessed with a belated gift: a new meme.
