** A screaming spider icon that can be found in the Treasure Room has become quite popular among the community for its overly comedic look. The robot obtained for collecting 35 Fire Shards and the cube obtained for opening 100 chests have also received similar treatment.
*** This screaming spider icon is famous in Russian community as "The Pink Bug" ("Розовый Хрущ") because a [=YouTuber=] [=DeCody=] made a song about it that continously repeats something like "It's a pink bug. Looking ahead. Window's so dark That he can't understand", which is like a remake of a Russian meme song with the same lyrics, but originally there was a pink goose instead of a pink bug.

** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=II-aLJwlevA TrusTa in a nutshell]][[labelnote:Explanation]][=TrusTa=], the verifier of [[ThatOneLevel Yatagarasu]], gave the level a few slight nerfs to get the level out faster.

** At 100% speed, does this look possible to you?[[labelnote:Explanation]]Back in 2015, [=YouTuber=] [=TheMuteTroll=] made a video titled [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=op_BdUabxlg "Geometry Dash [=YouTubers=]: Skilled or Hackers?"]] in which one piece of evidence he used to support his claims of [=YouTubers hacking=] was a clip of at the time popular player Noobas completing a once infamously difficult wave section in the level [="DeCode"=].

** Devil Vortex Saws[[labelnote:Explanation]]In 2018, Npesta uploaded a video accusing [=ToshDeluxe=] of hacking his verification of Rustam's level "Devil Vortex". One piece of "evidence" used by Npesta was a seemingly-random alignment of sawblades placed near the top of the level (when viewed in the editor). Although Tosh would later disprove Npesta's claims, recreations of the sawblades have become very popular in the years that followed, especially on r/[=GeometryDash=].[[/labelnote]]
** The Limbo keys/"FOCUS"[[labelnote:Explanation]]LIMBO is an extreme demon level that places heavy emphasis on memorization. This culminates in the end segment, where you have to play a memory game and track one specific key out of eight as they shuffle around (while at the same time trying not to die during a Wave segment). The arrangement of the keys in conjunction with the accompanying music ("Isolation" by [=Nighthawk22=]) and text ("FOCUS") became very popular among the Geometry Dash community, and Limbo keys have been recreated in other games.[[/labelnote]]
** Bloodbath Jumpscare[[labelnote:Explanation]]Bloodbath is one of the most popular and well-known extreme demons of all time. It's particularly (in)famous for its opening, an incredibly tight and precise gauntlet that happens within seconds. Needless to say, some level creators have gotten quite a laugh out of inserting the opening of Bloodbath into otherwise calm levels such as Stereo Madness.[[/labelnote]]

** FIRE IN THE HOLE![[labelnote:Explanation]]This line was used by [=RobTop=] in the third sneak peek for update 2.2 to demonstrate the SFX trigger's pitch-shifting functions. He would later use it during the vertical lift section in The Tower's Sewers. It has since become a popular ironic sound effect in Geometry Dash-related shitposting, such as the lobotomy levels mentioned below. They are often related to the Normal difficulty face.[[/labelnote]]
** Water on the hill [[labelnote:Explanation]]An opposite version of "Fire in the Hole", associated with the Easy face.[[/labelnote]]
** FEET[[labelnote:Explanation]]A sound effect that, like "Fire in the hole!" above, is frequently used in lobotomy levels. This sound can be done by taking the "Defeat" sound and setting the starting position strategically so that only "feet" can be heard.[[/labelnote]]
** Lobotomy levels[[labelnote:Explanation]]It's become a notable trend to use the new features 2.2's editor brings to the table to create variants of the official Geometry Dash levels with lobotomy in the name, typically filled with absurd sounds, imagery, and setpieces. Expect to see a lot of difficulty icons as well.[[/labelnote]]
** Dash Spider Jumpscares[[labelnote:Explanation]]In GD Colon's video analysis on "Dash" (the game's 22nd official level), he criticises a poorly-designed section in the level where the player has to control a spider going sideways. He takes a break shortly after to discuss "The Challenge", [[https://youtube.com/clip/UgkxD9C0TfIkESa911n_7u-n-tVARaonI7pM only for the gameplay to be suddenly replaced by the aforementioned spider part.]] Shortly after the video's release, it became popular in the community to recreate the spider part in the style of other Geometry Dash levels.[[/labelnote]]
