YMMV / Alan Walker

• Memetic Mutation:
  • His song “Fade” was used in internet memes due to its wide usage in YouTube videos.
  • We live, we love, we lie. ^Explanation The Spectre became a popular meme in 2023 after it was used in a video of a realistic image of a Smurf that resembles a cat. Alan himself became aware of this and made a pinned comment on the music video of that very song stating "I was here before the smurf!". He also made a YouTube short about how he found out about this meme.
• Eclipsed by the Remix: “Faded” became more famous than “Fade”, which is the original song it was based on.
• Signature Song: “Faded”, “Alone”, and “All Falls Down” with Noah Cyrus and Digital Farm Animals.
