While it's been a meme since the days of YTMND, it's recently popularity on Tumblr and [=YouTube=], often played over videos of something [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vGPhqCIQYXk going at]] high speed, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=COdoHpU_a8U especially if]] it's [[MultiTrackDrifting drifting]].

* Bob Rivers' The Twelve Pains of Christmas is very popular among people who make [=AMVs=]. It's hard to not look for a popular animated show or movie and not see an AMV of that song.but

* [[{{Music/AlexanderPerls}} 009 Sound System]] - Dreamscape"[[note]]A trance song which is often associated with 2007-2010 [=YouTube=] videos. There used to be a feature on [=YouTube=] where users could replace their video's entire audio track with a song chosen from a pre-determined list. This song was one of them, and it was the first song to show up on that list because of its name. 009 Sound System's other tracks, including With a Spirit, are also popular for this reason.[[/note]]

* "Crab Rave", a song by Irish EDM producer {{Music/Noisestorm}}, has gained traction on the Internet by its use in mashups and remixes, and eventually became a byword for [[AndThereWasMuchRejoicing celebrating "deaths" (both literal and metaphorical) of people and things who will not be missed]]. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LDU_Txk06tM The music video]] has also received multiple edits, usually adding ironic quotes that don't fit with the song's upbeat nature.

* "Type beat" parodies: a "type beat" is a rap beat made to sound like one or more popular rap artists/producers, e.g. "Future Type Beat" or "Travis Scott x PARTYNEXTDOOR Type Beat". Naturally, their ubiquity led to various parodies, most of them in the form of a trap beat placed on top of a looping sound effect. Behold, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V3k4JgD25Qs "Pencil Sharpener type beat"]], [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HeyN2KHMGtI "Microwave Type Beat"]], and of course, "[[WesternAnimation/SpongeBobSquarePants mr. krabs]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yiMEs86y7To walking type beat]]".

* "WHAT THE FUCK'S UP, DENNY'S!?" [[note]]A short clip of [[https://youtu.be/xbPwaAFHDG8 a fan-shot video of a live performance]] by HardcorePunk group Live Without became a meme due to the fact that it took place in the unlikely venue of a Denny's restaurant. As it turns out, the reason they were able to secure a chain restaurant as a venue for a hardcore show was that the restaurant was soon to be closed and demolished; Any property damage that ensued from the inevitable moshpit ultimately wouldn't matter.[[/note]]

* "Salí con tu mujer". [[labelnote:Explanation]] Part of the song "Ella y yo" by Reggaeton singer Don Omar, which became quite memetic in the Spanish-speaking world. It is quite normal to reply with a FlatWhat and continue the song from there.[[/labelnote]]
