      They only retained relevance because they were used correctly and only by a small niche of people. You'd see a good meme of a format once every so often. Now you will see 1000 bad ones on Twitter and like 5 good ones and it just shits up the entire joke within a month

    • @SlimSKim13
      @SlimSKim13 5 лет назад +591

      @@mohda.9420 Alright, time to get down with analysis.
      [I took this translation from Caro J, so thanks if you're reading this somehow!]
      The first two lines of the song might seem like a throwaway, but looking back after you know the context, you can't unsee the implication:
      _The beginning of our love, this continuing dream,_
      _I’ll surely spend it with you_
      Keep those lyrics in mind for later, but for now, the first verse.
      _The cold wind, the season that brings us closer_
      _As we entwine fingers, my feelings of love overflow_
      _Every time I push the “warm” button on the coffee vending machine_
      _A light goes on in my heart_
      Okay, so this song's about winter, and a shared memory of a couple, but it sounds a little wistful. Comically so, maybe. But it's undeniable that the memory of winter and the simple act of pressing a button makes the singer's heart warm: there's a fondness there.
      Now, the first part of the chorus shifts this into darker territory.
      *Get Down*
      _A shaking, spinning, touching, painful feeling_
      _Sleeping together in a winter land_
      _You looking only at me, me looking only at you_
      _We make a promise for tomorrow_
      Sleeping together, why would that be painful? In a winter land, shaking, spinning, touching, painful...I mean, a bed's warm. It shouldn't be _painful_ or any of those other things.
      Second part of the chorus goes deeper, and this is where the subtext sinks in; notice the second line.
      _You hold me tight and I feel a burning love_
      _Wrapped in the heavily falling snow_
      _I’ll love you forever, I’ll love you even more than today_
      _Forever, eternal love_
      She's wrapped in snow, shaking, spinning, in pain by *how tightly packed the snow is on top of her.* She's *dying in a snow field.*
      I won't mention the rest of the song, but it backs me up; she talks about how even if it's a lie, a dream, or the present, she'll forget about the past and "spend the winter nights together", and that "your smile lulls me to sleep like a warm blanket", alluding to the fact that snow's on top of her and crushing her, but it's what reminds her of her now dead husband, who she thinks will protect her from her sadness as she's dying. She's just happy she'll get to see him again, to "love you forever, I'll love you even more than today".
      But yeah, once you see it, you can't go back. Some really nice, dark stuff inside an otherwise really catchy pop song and meme.

    Just a random PSA for everyone. Memes don't actually die, they live on through us. Once a meme "dies" that's when it becomes ours again. Just like old times.
    Memes started off as something obscure after all, an inside joke that only a special few understood. A way to find the others labeled as weird or outcasts. You know, before the mainstream crowd found out about them and tried to make everything a meme.
