_"I remember."_ After looking at some of the other articles connected to the Symphony, it's both tragic and horrifying to see that even though you managed to escape their clutches, they will still try to drag you back in, no matter how far you travel or how much you've forgotten. It's a bit creepy, since I just started learning piano again after abandoning it years ago. But hey, at least I don't recognize the bodies in the wat-
Davey Mikystache There are some things in this world that are better off being forgotten. But someway somehow someone manages to remember and is consumed by a mighty impulse to spread the knowledge, whether people want to remember or not
@@undeadprinceofchaos3731 It's SCP-2316, a cognitohazard that compels people to drown- You know what? Never mind that! Do you see us swimming in the lake? Come on, you still remember us, right? We're waiting for you. BELOW.
Its probably the vavaldi violin from scp 3790 "The Department of Abnormalities"... although I cannot confirm that its the same violin. There also seems to be a reference to the class of 76 in scp 3790 specifically "this thing a quiet madness made", being a metal wall where a placard used to be with the word "hello" scratched into it.
Syncope doesn't have only musical meaning, but also means "faint". Use of SCP 2000 can be interpreted as worldwide faint. Moreover - it causes history to be "out of rythm" - thus syncopated. Little slide in rythm can be also interpreted as crack that causes memories to slip away. As memories loss their rythm.
Going a level beyond. You now have the Faint Symphony. A band playing the true song, the song of memories of the true past, just faintly enough that most can not or don't take the time to hear it.
@@AndyfnBDamn, that's some incredible wordplay. Using an alternate meaning of an alternate meaning to wrap it back around and give more information about the first one.
I think I figured it out. The Class of '76 is the last generation before the world ended. The kid with the violin is one of the only ones who wasn't recreated. He kept all of his memories, and now he's abducting the members of the Class of '76, his fellow graduates, to force them to remember what *really* happened during the last summer of high school.
"Their predictions of events over the course of the previous decade have been entirely incorrect; claiming that a president Kennedy was assassinated and that there had been a war between the US and a country known as north Vietnam" (13:17) I'm sorry, come again? SCP can subtly mess with me sometimes but I dont know how that line managed to fuck me up the most out of everything I've heard/read.
I was thinking about this question earlier. I think Omega Actual has the right idea. (Or they're world ended and then ours begins many iterations later. Or it's another concurrent reality. Or both.)
It was already implied SCP 2000 has been activated several times, this just implies the memetics of SCP 2000 are not powerfully enough to supress accessing the memetics of the actual memories in some people. The SCP organization, while having means of destroying memories on an interdenominational level, is unable to safely do so with out risking affecting all memory and thought. So when ever SCP 2000 is activated there will be some people who eventually are able to access there old memories through the people they where cloned from in the past.... or from other people in the past, as those memories exist outside of time and space. That or the memories themselves have became an entity in and of themselves that wishes to be remembered. A memetic 'hazard' that demands the attention of those who can remember it, and it's spread to others. There is the sense of a desire to not be forgotten, but an overwhelming hopelessness that it's inevitable there at the end...... like maybe the entity exists but has given up.
@TheBmo4538 That and children minds are more adaptable and accepting to change. A lot of sci-fi had children more psyonicly susceptible and aware too. Brain functionally peaks at around 18 and starts to degrade after that.
Remember, the Foundation uses the chemical from SCP-3000 for its amnestics, and it was discovered that SCP-3000 doesn't exactly *destroy* human consciousness, but disperses it. The one researcher inherited memories from a consumed man simply by being in proximity to it. Now imagine if you used that effect on the entire world at once, in a semi-targeted manner. The bleed-off has to go somewhere.
@@Azraile The mechanics are quite specific, and extremely related to memory. Dunno about psychic powers, but memories are, essentially, patterns of connections between neurons carrying a specific meaning. A single synapse goes through changes that may change its current use, but still carry the ability to revert to the previous use, more or less precisely. This lack or 100% precision is the source of our memories being different from reality. No matter how important a Memory is, details are lost and/or changed each time we try to remember It. These connections and even single synapses are in costant change, as a result of a phenomenom called "neuron plasticity", which essentially means that they aren't stable and are dependant on a stimulation from a neuron to another remain present. Kids have an higher number of synapses processes, but fewer that are actually stable. So yeah, it makes sense for kids to be a better target. We adults have a more solid "grip" on our connections. It's why kids are more likely to forget traumas as a self-defense mechanics than adults.
My theory is that in the canon of the Syncope Symphony human memory is somehow tied to reality, what enough people remember is true becomes true. The Syncope Symphony has been forgotten my everyone, along with their world, and as such they were forgotten by reality itself. They wanted people to remember because it was the only way they could continue to exist, to not fade into the aether. To accomplish this they tried making these children, who I’m guessing are the present incarnations of people they knew it the past, remember them. They found out how Music was tied to reality, how it seemed to transcend it, and tried using that as a way to make people remember. Their plans failed, however, and as time went on they slowly became more and more nonexistent, their faces, names, and even voices being forgotten, until eventually only one remained, but even he was forgotten
So by this interpretation syncope symphony is a collection of pattern screamers fucking around with childrens' memories? Edit: I just finished the video. Nvm.
Building onto what you theorize, I think the reason they faded away is that the theme throughout the Class of '76 is themes of nostalgia and positive memories of days gone by. In this current time, though, in torturing their victims, they viewed the Symphony with disgust, fear and hate, and this ultimately robbed them of their memory and life, as there was no true care for those memories.
We're told to accept the fact that life goes on and nothing is forever. Nothing. But I don't want to accept this! I don't want to see it all as just a dead thing before it dies! I had something! I had something beautiful! The world still spun around in all its arbitrary fury, but I had something to hold tight to! Something beautiful! -Jhonen Vasquez
The saddest part of this is the implication that some people are completely lost when the world resets; either they weren’t needed or the series of events that lead to their birth are rolled back and they never come to be. We like to say that no one’s truly gone as long as someone remembers them but these lost people; no one remembers them
As someone with grandparents with dementia, I can account on the statement that music has a life of its own and can help people remember- if seeing my grandparents go through musical therapy at their nursing home and slowly regain some of their ability to retain short and long term memory has anything to say about it.
I always thought when the end of the tale mentioned Nobody like that, it was unconsciously referencing The Nobody character, whose essentially there to remember those that everyone else forgets, like those lost to the Syncope Symphony no one else remembers.
I think the symphony is trying to access memories from before 2000’s first us or an XK event to learn about what happened or perhaps bring that same fate upon the world. We know the world has ended and started over many times in the timeline of the SCPverse. Given that 2000 can make identical copies of nearly every human being it’s possible that the original memories of those people are somewhat retained or stored within the individuals but due to amnestics or other memory wiping methods these “copies” have been made to think what they were programmed to believe their lives were but sometimes the past seems through to the present and somethings aren’t what they seem to be. I mean it seems like once the symphony uncovered this terrible truth they stopped their activities as the “truth” would’ve been too much for people to handle. In the video with the cave I believe the sky being red is some kinda reality shifting event taking place before the foundation took care of things, then when the cameraman comes back out of the cave everything is back to normal and people (clones) are rebuilding the town. So what XKis this? WDB? Dead Greenhouse? CK?
The idea of SCP-2000, resetting the world, and memories that escape the process is so damn interesting. Think about it, last week the world ended. Your life, loves, dreams, and achievements were all ripped from you, but the world has been reset, you right now are but a copy of what you were before. We all woke up and carried on, despite the human suffering, pain and loss that had just occurred. For me, the syncope symphony are a group of reality benders who managed to survive the reset (that probably happened in the 70s), maybe they are even kidnapping the teenage clones of themselves in an attempt to force the world to remember the future that was ripped from them. Maybe the bodies in the water show you the real bodies of those who you know (those who died during the reset) which forces you to remember and causes some sort of memetic trigger which kills you. Im not sure, but its such an awesome concept that I hope is expanded on in the future
Makes perfect sense, remembering the previous world threatens normalcy. So those without proper clearance have a memetic kill agent implanted by SCP 2000 in case it happens. Your body moves to the closest way to realize the command, the lake itself.
Finally! A good one. Well written and thought out, good tug at existential horror and expands the SCP "canon" in a very interesting way. "How many times have we done this before?" And how many times does a copy of you cease being you?
the answer to the count is 1, though identical, other things outside of earth might be unnaffected and would lead to anhiliation of what made you you, or even you, with i want to say its 3300 called rain, where it leads to your non existence or of that for others who make you, well you or even your parents meeting in the first place since the one year loop thing (realized i repeated the same thing basically bu idc rn)
Sometimes you remember something that no one else can because they either didn’t know about it to begin with....or because they aren’t meant to remember. But the rhythm and the syncope is eternal whether we remember or not.
I feel like the answer is pretty clear: They are people "deleted from memory" by the activation of SCP-2000, who survived whatever extinction event prompted its activation, and ended up having to live in a world that didn't remember them, with all the memories of the extinction event. Imagine it's 1976, the world ends, you survive, and a mysterious group of clones starts rebuilding the world as it existed in 1944, then the world is repopulated with clones of people that were alive in 1944, and you're now in this new world as the only person who remembers the 'real' world that came before, that it's actually 1976, not 1944, that the sky is supposed to be red, not blue, etc. You'd be pissed, and you'd want the 'real' world back.
It occurred to me that the symphony are essentially a form of pattern screamer. Despite earth being reset an unknowable number of times, some memories somehow continue to linger on and try to find their way back.
What's really interesting is that they seem to be unwilling in it sometimes, as the guy in the high school. Some thing is playing them like puppets on a string
I believe the Symphony, the Harmony, is perfect memory. The discovery by these reality benders of Syncope Symphony that memory has been tampered with so many times has upset and distressed them greatly, and they're desperate to fight against the broader, more terrifying effects of events, lives and entire worlds simply *forgotten.* But it's not going well. And I think they might be giving up as they realize that as time goes on, their memories of *why* they're doing this are flawed as well. No amnestics involved. Just... time, and life, watering down our experiences into something unreal.
The class-of-76 stuff is probably among my favourite part of current SCP. It just feels less fantastic and more down-to-earth in style compared to the sci-fi horror of other SPCs, because this is stuff that has effected every-day humans and not something entirely eldritch and or something you need an advanced physics degree to comprehend.
It took a few mentions of Marianas Trench for me to remember, but I now remember that end of the world scenario. It was pretty trippy, where the world just stopped, right next to the woman's house, like someone had sliced reality in half. And that predates SCP-2000? That's extremely impressive!
The Symphony just want to be remembered, to be acknowledged, to be known. They are just another group that are working to achieve their own goals. As SCP 4001 showed us, the world has been wiped completely once before and who knows what anomalies or people got left behind. The Symphony are likely a group trying to get some resolve.
"Remember us." I think this line hit me harder than almost any other in the SCP archive Something about it just feels so painfully human I've come to realize that a lot of the most terrifying SCPs are ones that warp or erase memories This line captures that horror, in one desperate plea "Remember us."
Seems to me like they intend existence to last forever, holding some perfect, unaltered past containing everything that happened, hoping it can transcend the end of days, thats what I got from the talk about the dark and the future.
"Member high school?" "Oh I member!" Yeah I member!" "Hey member when there weren't so many Mexicans?" Yeah I member... wait what? "Member when marriage was just between a man and a woman!" Wtf is wrong with these Member Syncopes?
"Remember, that we once lived..." I have little else to add to this SCP, since I have not read it. But I will say this is not the only SCP where reality-benders and SCP-2000 are involved. Read about SCP-3480 and the MTF involved which is as anomalous as Omega-7 and Tau-5.
I really enjoyed this and The Class of 76, the concepts it makes you ponder and thought provoking and a good element of horror/mystery... But I’m really just here to find the comments referencing Heat Syncopy from Jontron’s video, cause that was funny is hell and I’m surprised I haven’t found one yet.
YEEEEESSSSSS! I love the Remembrance Hub, it was the first hub/collection of SCPs I read as a group. If I ever start writing my own, I want to build a world that's a thematic blend of Remembrance and Cousin Johnny/Cicada God
What is the end game? Who knows. But they appear to have the same mindset as some of the SCP plans in the past. “The ends justify the means” . To me it sounds like a tale of those that simply want to live. Their lives now are a lie and they want back what was taken from them. Just my two cents.

My theory is fairly simple. The Symphony is either spreading the memories of one individual from that prior series of events... Or those memories are already inside everyone because the system of SCP 2000 is flawed, somehow, and they're trying to get everyone to realize it (and are insane because of this realization.)
the intro is one of the few examples of good second person writing that I've heard. You don't hear it too often (what I just said is also technically second person so it's kinda ironic).
I kinda have a theory, I think that the bodies in SCP - 2316 are people that the people knew or people that existed before the world ended that were never revived using SCP - 2000.
I love these scp videos! I watch them on my drive to work most days. Also I had a good chuckle at the mention of Boise, I live here, we all call it boy-see :) Thanks for your work!
So, some context for people still confused by the lore of Class of 76, here's an explanation. Don't read this if you don't want spoilers. Anyways... ...Syncope Symphony is an anomalous organization that is attempting to undermine the SCP foundation's global cover up of their use of SCP 2000, a device that can repopulate and repair the world after an XK-Class Scenario, provided it and the earth are intact. The canon of Class of 76 takes place after the events detailed in the Letter Found at the Bottom of the Marianas Trench, which described an end of the world scenario caused by a massive containment breach at the SCP foundation. Presumably, SCP 2000 was used, cloning the entire dead population of earth in a matter of months, and then the foundation began the process of covering up any existence of the Scenario ever having happened. This is why there's mentions of the assassination of Kennedy and the Vietnam War as being "fictional events"; they occurred before the end of the world and the use of SCP 2000 and the following cover up, and our now "fictional" as part of the disinformation campaign. For the bodies in the water (that you totally don't recognize): People cloned by SCP 2000 have all the memories of their original selves, which requires the Foundation to amnesticize them into forgetting the events of the End of the World scenario. When these cloned citizens view the bodies in the water, it reminds them of the people who died in the scenario, presumably even their dead original selves, which, because the foundation is the foundation, leads them to classifying it as a "cognitohazard" and attempting to keep people away from the anomaly. Syncope as a whole is attempting to get people to remember the end of the world detailed in the Letter, and maybe other end of the world scenarios as well.
I have no idea why, but the concept behind Syncope and trying to remember a world that was erased is really harrowing to me. Realizing the context makes the Bodies in the Water much more eerie - They're the bodies of those who were wiped away. I honestly think the idea of SCP 2000 is uniquely terrifying - One could consider it a blessing, a miracle even, to be able to reset the world and allow Humanity to continue. But there's something about the erasure of every memory of the world that perished that's deeply disturbing. The document at the end of the video is one of the few pieces of SCP writing that really got to me - The desperation to be remembered.
this is one of my favorite scps it was so sad and cool at the same time it introduces a really neat idea and plays around with it while leaving a lot of mistery behind, i remeber when i readed the first time, it produced such a visceral, emotional response and such nostalgic feeling, simply put i think is great
javier solarte It is pretty interesting and tragic at the same time. Being possibly the only person to remember seeing your world die only to have it all rebuilt and forgotten, so you drive to make everyone remember the truth through the one way even the simplest of person would understand...through music.
Music is quite impressive. It can help make time go by without notice, but can make one more keenly aware of the passage of time. It can bring memories to the fore that were otherwise forgotten. It can even help knowledge absorption and retention. Music is a magic all its own.
You should do an scp video where your reading it sortof off the whole time just for it to become clear at the end that you have been affected by the scp you have been explaining.
God. I love your videos. The musical cues are just so on point. Even when I feel they aren't, I'm inspired to wonder how they could be, and then, voila, they're on point. I love a lot of these tracks; I love wondering what emotion they convey to you, the creator. I watch (listen to) your videos way way too frequently, aaaand here we are roleplaying psychology, but-this one and 2614 rate so high with me with the storytelling you do with music. But not just that-you do a beautiful job of summarizing and compiling tales, fan theory, and addenda. And as a sidenote - I very much appreciate and enjoy the verbatim read-throughs. I've listened long enough to trust your judgement of what writing deserves/needs them. Cheers and thanks for all you do ^^
“As usual, to pad my video length...” Hello, I request more video padding please. Thank you for the grim and disturbing content! The way you present these SCP entries is always captivating. Keep it up 👍
That's the thing with memory. Ever since I was a teenager I've accepted that I'll probably be forgotten by the world. It's happened with plenty of other humans throughout history, and it's inevitable that it would happen to me. Once you're gone long enough, you stop being relevant. SCP 3000 also got me thinking about some things. While I'll always be known and remembered in heaven, down on earth, the memory of me will be flawed at best. When everyone who was alive when I was is gone, then every scrap of true mortal memory of me will be lost. It got me thinking about historical figures like George Washington. There isn't a single person that was alive when he was that is alive and here now. No one who knew him or even heard of him. And while his actions and history are recorded and known, no one knows or had an idea of how he truly thought or felt, the connections he had; that was exclusive to him and those who truly knew him, all in that time. The truth is, many people die every day with virtually no one knowing about it. As Snicket stated, there are many people in the world, many of which never meet or know about each other anyway. This statement I typed is proof that memories are faulty, as I'm certain that isn't entirely how he worded it. Here is the actual quote: "It doesn't matter if you never see someone again, I told myself. There are millions of people in the world and most of them never see each other in the first place." This is a subtle example that while we remember the core of the message, the details surrounding it can get murky. Proof of your existence is logged in a file cabinet somewhere, and as generations go by, those after you (including your descendants) will just see you as that: a name and a face. Nothing more. That's the point I made of GW; people will know OF you, but they will never know you. And sometimes there's anonymous accounts online, you know of them without really knowing who they were, you just know that someone, somewhere in a place and time was real. Life is change, and things of the past will fade away, regardless our station. That's what the Syncope couldn't accept, and that desperation to preserve what was theirs is what drove them and all those they affected to ruin. While it is true that their entire lives were turned around, they couldn't let go of what was passed. I don't consider high school to be particularly memorable. I knew a few good kids, and a few teachers as well, but other than that I just found a lot of it dull and stressful. I spent a lot of time in high school just being irritated at the stuck ups and just tried to get through it. There were moments of comfort though, like my daily ritual of going up to the library during lunch to play on the computers while munching on pizza, chocolate and whatever. And I never attended what everyone went to because I just saw it as a fuss and a waste of my interest and time. I let them all slide right on by and I don't regret it for an instant. I've always been apart from people, though my autism might be a part of it, it's mostly just me. I did make a few friends, but there's only one I ever have any motivation to talk to. I knew her since middle school, and she was always out of the way and alone, just doing her own thing, like me. I suppose that's a reason I never bothered her, because I knew the slight amount of peace it brought me, and I didn't want to intrude on hers. I slowly learned more about her as she began to open up to people around senior year, and to be honest, she impressed me to where she was one of the few people that I actually wanted to maintain contact with past high school. I still text with her and show her some of my drawings, and the only regret from that is regretting not getting to know her sooner. I don't typically like remembering, as it mostly wasn't memorable and I don't like having regrets. I always knew that everyone would forget me and I would forget everyone. That's why most people live for the moment, because they know the past is past, and while it will be forgotten, you will feel alive in the present to see tomorrow. As they say, be happy it happened, not because it's over. As long as you know you were happy, that's quite enough already. I know that far away in the past, there were people who loved, laughed and suffered in ways we may have no knowing of, just as we will go through things no one else will, and the same will be true of those after us. I take comfort in knowing that we all will have moments that are purely our own, that only we and those we care about will know. The world may lose sight of such moments, but those moments will belong to us and no one else. The people in the past had their private happy moments, and those after us will also. And while we may forget moments, we know deep within that whatever happened, it happened and we lived in them. But what about what we leave behind? People will interpret our thoughts and actions in different ways. I think little ideas, words and thoughts can invoke even the slightest bit of thinking. I think that by saying what we have to say, we can make others think for just long enough to change. You know that if you look at something, you know it was proof that someone was here; even if you don't know their face or name, you know someone was here to make it. If I can leave something, something like this post just to make someone think, if but for an infinitesimal instant, that would be enough for me. You may be left behind in the dust, and join those before you, and soon those after will join you, but while we may not remember exactly what happened, we know how it made us feel, the impression it made on us, however simple or complex it may be. They'll probably never know, but we were here, we knew and felt, and I hope that those after us will realize that too. Some things are better left behind, and to quote Snake a bit: Through the opportunity of the present, --"[B]uilding the future and keeping the past alive are one and the same thing." But, as the world of the SCP Foundation shows us.... "Sometimes, we survive by forgetting." --Anonymous
"How many times? How many times has this happened? How old is civilization really? has this been just a couple times, maybe two centuries worth of catastrophies? Or are you releasing these on purpose, keeping humanity at this single point in history, controlling the growth of the species from behind the scenes? How many realities have you ended? How many people have died? And you pretend we do this with malicious intent? We wish to remember our past, but you wish us to remain eternally in the present, never moving forward, never forced to evolve, never permitted to change. Only through facing the past will we be ready for the future."

After looking at some of the other articles connected to the Symphony, it's both tragic and horrifying to see that even though you managed to escape their clutches, they will still try to drag you back in, no matter how far you travel or how much you've forgotten. It's a bit creepy, since I just started learning piano again after abandoning it years ago.

Respect for the honesty haha. Plus his teachings are good - and he ads to it, rather than just reading verbatim and calling it a day.
Syncope doesn't have only musical meaning, but also means "faint". Use of SCP 2000 can be interpreted as worldwide faint. Moreover - it causes history to be "out of rythm" - thus syncopated. Little slide in rythm can be also interpreted as crack that causes memories to slip away. As memories loss their rythm.
this is so awesome i love it
Going a level beyond. You now have the Faint Symphony. A band playing the true song, the song of memories of the true past, just faintly enough that most can not or don't take the time to hear it.
A faint memory.
@@TeethToothman Medical term for "Faint" is "Syncope".
@@AndyfnBDamn, that's some incredible wordplay. Using an alternate meaning of an alternate meaning to wrap it back around and give more information about the first one.
I think I figured it out. The Class of '76 is the last generation before the world ended. The kid with the violin is one of the only ones who wasn't recreated. He kept all of his memories, and now he's abducting the members of the Class of '76, his fellow graduates, to force them to remember what *really* happened during the last summer of high school.
Meh.lame theory
@@user-so9tv8dz4c Well I think it's interesting.
@@user-so9tv8dz4c cool story bro
The world didn't end though but interesting theory all the same
It litteraly did. Yellowstone is the location of scp 2000. The world ended and was rebuilt. That's the whole narrative of the story
"Their predictions of events over the course of the previous decade have been entirely incorrect; claiming that a president Kennedy was assassinated and that there had been a war between the US and a country known as north Vietnam" (13:17)
I'm sorry, come again?
SCP can subtly mess with me sometimes but I dont know how that line managed to fuck me up the most out of everything I've heard/read.
What do you mean? North Vietnam? It’s just one Kingdom 🇻🇳....
Apparently these events never happened in this version of the SCP universe
carninuz1 I’m trying to figure if they’re still split or if South Vietnam won... 🤯
Unless I'm wrong, this could imply that our world has ended and another one has begun in this tale.
I was thinking about this question earlier. I think Omega Actual has the right idea.
(Or they're world ended and then ours begins many iterations later. Or it's another concurrent reality. Or both.)
It was already implied SCP 2000 has been activated several times, this just implies the memetics of SCP 2000 are not powerfully enough to supress accessing the memetics of the actual memories in some people. The SCP organization, while having means of destroying memories on an interdenominational level, is unable to safely do so with out risking affecting all memory and thought. So when ever SCP 2000 is activated there will be some people who eventually are able to access there old memories through the people they where cloned from in the past.... or from other people in the past, as those memories exist outside of time and space.
That or the memories themselves have became an entity in and of themselves that wishes to be remembered. A memetic 'hazard' that demands the attention of those who can remember it, and it's spread to others. There is the sense of a desire to not be forgotten, but an overwhelming hopelessness that it's inevitable there at the end...... like maybe the entity exists but has given up.

@TheBmo4538 That and children minds are more adaptable and accepting to change. A lot of sci-fi had children more psyonicly susceptible and aware too. Brain functionally peaks at around 18 and starts to degrade after that.
Remember, the Foundation uses the chemical from SCP-3000 for its amnestics, and it was discovered that SCP-3000 doesn't exactly *destroy* human consciousness, but disperses it. The one researcher inherited memories from a consumed man simply by being in proximity to it. Now imagine if you used that effect on the entire world at once, in a semi-targeted manner. The bleed-off has to go somewhere.
I think it's eithere memories that want to be remembered or some people are simply genetically resistant to memory wiping.
@@Azraile The mechanics are quite specific, and extremely related to memory.
Dunno about psychic powers, but memories are, essentially, patterns of connections between neurons carrying a specific meaning. A single synapse goes through changes that may change its current use, but still carry the ability to revert to the previous use, more or less precisely. This lack or 100% precision is the source of our memories being different from reality. No matter how important a Memory is, details are lost and/or changed each time we try to remember It.
These connections and even single synapses are in costant change, as a result of a phenomenom called "neuron plasticity", which essentially means that they aren't stable and are dependant on a stimulation from a neuron to another remain present.
Kids have an higher number of synapses processes, but fewer that are actually stable.
So yeah, it makes sense for kids to be a better target. We adults have a more solid "grip" on our connections. It's why kids are more likely to forget traumas as a self-defense mechanics than adults.
My theory is that in the canon of the Syncope Symphony human memory is somehow tied to reality, what enough people remember is true becomes true. The Syncope Symphony has been forgotten my everyone, along with their world, and as such they were forgotten by reality itself. They wanted people to remember because it was the only way they could continue to exist, to not fade into the aether. To accomplish this they tried making these children, who I’m guessing are the present incarnations of people they knew it the past, remember them. They found out how Music was tied to reality, how it seemed to transcend it, and tried using that as a way to make people remember. Their plans failed, however, and as time went on they slowly became more and more nonexistent, their faces, names, and even voices being forgotten, until eventually only one remained, but even he was forgotten
"what enough people remember is true becomes true" sort of like the barenstine bears
So by this interpretation syncope symphony is a collection of pattern screamers fucking around with childrens' memories?
Edit: I just finished the video. Nvm.
So basically, they're all a bunch of Nobodies.
Building onto what you theorize, I think the reason they faded away is that the theme throughout the Class of '76 is themes of nostalgia and positive memories of days gone by. In this current time, though, in torturing their victims, they viewed the Symphony with disgust, fear and hate, and this ultimately robbed them of their memory and life, as there was no true care for those memories.

The saddest part of this is the implication that some people are completely lost when the world resets; either they weren’t needed or the series of events that lead to their birth are rolled back and they never come to be. We like to say that no one’s truly gone as long as someone remembers them but these lost people; no one remembers them
The Mariannas Trench document has always been one of my favorite SCP pieces. I'm glad it's gotten some more repping.
As someone with grandparents with dementia, I can account on the statement that music has a life of its own and can help people remember- if seeing my grandparents go through musical therapy at their nursing home and slowly regain some of their ability to retain short and long term memory has anything to say about it.
I always thought when the end of the tale mentioned Nobody like that, it was unconsciously referencing The Nobody character, whose essentially there to remember those that everyone else forgets, like those lost to the Syncope Symphony no one else remembers.
I think the symphony is trying to access memories from before 2000’s first us or an XK event to learn about what happened or perhaps bring that same fate upon the world. We know the world has ended and started over many times in the timeline of the SCPverse. Given that 2000 can make identical copies of nearly every human being it’s possible that the original memories of those people are somewhat retained or stored within the individuals but due to amnestics or other memory wiping methods these “copies” have been made to think what they were programmed to believe their lives were but sometimes the past seems through to the present and somethings aren’t what they seem to be. I mean it seems like once the symphony uncovered this terrible truth they stopped their activities as the “truth” would’ve been too much for people to handle.
In the video with the cave I believe the sky being red is some kinda reality shifting event taking place before the foundation took care of things, then when the cameraman comes back out of the cave everything is back to normal and people (clones) are rebuilding the town. So what XKis this? WDB? Dead Greenhouse? CK?
That is a very interesting guess
Syncope is comprised of pattern screamers.
The idea of SCP-2000, resetting the world, and memories that escape the process is so damn interesting. Think about it, last week the world ended. Your life, loves, dreams, and achievements were all ripped from you, but the world has been reset, you right now are but a copy of what you were before. We all woke up and carried on, despite the human suffering, pain and loss that had just occurred. For me, the syncope symphony are a group of reality benders who managed to survive the reset (that probably happened in the 70s), maybe they are even kidnapping the teenage clones of themselves in an attempt to force the world to remember the future that was ripped from them. Maybe the bodies in the water show you the real bodies of those who you know (those who died during the reset) which forces you to remember and causes some sort of memetic trigger which kills you. Im not sure, but its such an awesome concept that I hope is expanded on in the future
Makes perfect sense, remembering the previous world threatens normalcy. So those without proper clearance have a memetic kill agent implanted by SCP 2000 in case it happens. Your body moves to the closest way to realize the command, the lake itself.
They’re pattern screamers.

"How many times have we done this before?" And how many times does a copy of you cease being you?
the answer to the count is 1, though identical, other things outside of earth might be unnaffected and would lead to anhiliation of what made you you, or even you, with i want to say its 3300 called rain, where it leads to your non existence or of that for others who make you, well you or even your parents meeting in the first place since the one year loop thing (realized i repeated the same thing basically bu idc rn)
Sometimes you remember something that no one else can because they either didn’t know about it to begin with....or because they aren’t meant to remember. But the rhythm and the syncope is eternal whether we remember or not.
😳
Well. Thanks for the existential crisis, lol.
I feel like the answer is pretty clear: They are people "deleted from memory" by the activation of SCP-2000, who survived whatever extinction event prompted its activation, and ended up having to live in a world that didn't remember them, with all the memories of the extinction event. Imagine it's 1976, the world ends, you survive, and a mysterious group of clones starts rebuilding the world as it existed in 1944, then the world is repopulated with clones of people that were alive in 1944, and you're now in this new world as the only person who remembers the 'real' world that came before, that it's actually 1976, not 1944, that the sky is supposed to be red, not blue, etc. You'd be pissed, and you'd want the 'real' world back.
It occurred to me that the symphony are essentially a form of pattern screamer. Despite earth being reset an unknowable number of times, some memories somehow continue to linger on and try to find their way back.
What's really interesting is that they seem to be unwilling in it sometimes, as the guy in the high school. Some thing is playing them like puppets on a string

I believe the Symphony, the Harmony, is perfect memory. The discovery by these reality benders of Syncope Symphony that memory has been tampered with so many times has upset and distressed them greatly, and they're desperate to fight against the broader, more terrifying effects of events, lives and entire worlds simply *forgotten.*
But it's not going well. And I think they might be giving up as they realize that as time goes on, their memories of *why* they're doing this are flawed as well. No amnestics involved. Just... time, and life, watering down our experiences into something unreal.
The class-of-76 stuff is probably among my favourite part of current SCP. It just feels less fantastic and more down-to-earth in style compared to the sci-fi horror of other SPCs, because this is stuff that has effected every-day humans and not something entirely eldritch and or something you need an advanced physics degree to comprehend.
It took a few mentions of Marianas Trench for me to remember, but I now remember that end of the world scenario. It was pretty trippy, where the world just stopped, right next to the woman's house, like someone had sliced reality in half. And that predates SCP-2000? That's extremely impressive!

The Symphony just want to be remembered, to be acknowledged, to be known. They are just another group that are working to achieve their own goals. As SCP 4001 showed us, the world has been wiped completely once before and who knows what anomalies or people got left behind. The Symphony are likely a group trying to get some resolve.

"to pad my video length" lol I don't mind at all, that got me good.
My theory is fairly simple. The Symphony is either spreading the memories of one individual from that prior series of events... Or those memories are already inside everyone because the system of SCP 2000 is flawed, somehow, and they're trying to get everyone to realize it (and are insane because of this realization.)
the intro is one of the few examples of good second person writing that I've heard. You don't hear it too often (what I just said is also technically second person so it's kinda ironic).
I kinda have a theory, I think that the bodies in SCP - 2316 are people that the people knew or people that existed before the world ended that were never revived using SCP - 2000.
"In boys Idaho"

So reloading from our last quick save leaves echoes. The symphonies are trying to keep the memories of lost stories alive.
Oooh this is such a cool connection to other scp concepts, and is really cool once you know the other lore mentioned!
"as usual to pad my video length, ill read it verbatim for you" i enjoy your blunt honesty
So, some context for people still confused by the lore of Class of 76, here's an explanation. Don't read this if you don't want spoilers. Anyways...
...Syncope Symphony is an anomalous organization that is attempting to undermine the SCP foundation's global cover up of their use of SCP 2000, a device that can repopulate and repair the world after an XK-Class Scenario, provided it and the earth are intact. The canon of Class of 76 takes place after the events detailed in the Letter Found at the Bottom of the Marianas Trench, which described an end of the world scenario caused by a massive containment breach at the SCP foundation. Presumably, SCP 2000 was used, cloning the entire dead population of earth in a matter of months, and then the foundation began the process of covering up any existence of the Scenario ever having happened. This is why there's mentions of the assassination of Kennedy and the Vietnam War as being "fictional events"; they occurred before the end of the world and the use of SCP 2000 and the following cover up, and our now "fictional" as part of the disinformation campaign.
For the bodies in the water (that you totally don't recognize): People cloned by SCP 2000 have all the memories of their original selves, which requires the Foundation to amnesticize them into forgetting the events of the End of the World scenario. When these cloned citizens view the bodies in the water, it reminds them of the people who died in the scenario, presumably even their dead original selves, which, because the foundation is the foundation, leads them to classifying it as a "cognitohazard" and attempting to keep people away from the anomaly.
Syncope as a whole is attempting to get people to remember the end of the world detailed in the Letter, and maybe other end of the world scenarios as well.
I have no idea why, but the concept behind Syncope and trying to remember a world that was erased is really harrowing to me. Realizing the context makes the Bodies in the Water much more eerie - They're the bodies of those who were wiped away.
I honestly think the idea of SCP 2000 is uniquely terrifying - One could consider it a blessing, a miracle even, to be able to reset the world and allow Humanity to continue. But there's something about the erasure of every memory of the world that perished that's deeply disturbing.
The document at the end of the video is one of the few pieces of SCP writing that really got to me - The desperation to be remembered.
This nostalgic stuff really gets to me and I’m 19…
Nostalgia gets to everyone.
Indeed
this is one of my favorite scps it was so sad and cool at the same time it introduces a really neat idea and plays around with it while leaving a lot of mistery behind, i remeber when i readed the first time, it produced such a visceral, emotional response and such nostalgic feeling, simply put i think is great
javier solarte It is pretty interesting and tragic at the same time. Being possibly the only person to remember seeing your world die only to have it all rebuilt and forgotten, so you drive to make everyone remember the truth through the one way even the simplest of person would understand...through music.
“...Nothing beside remains. ‘Round the decay of that colossal wreck, boundless and bare, the lone and level sands stretch far away.”
Music is quite impressive. It can help make time go by without notice, but can make one more keenly aware of the passage of time. It can bring memories to the fore that were otherwise forgotten. It can even help knowledge absorption and retention. Music is a magic all its own.
This must be my most favorite scp channel, i also love that you do d&d and the Cthulhu mythos aswell, and i love that

I watch (listen to) your videos way way too frequently, aaaand here we are roleplaying psychology, but-this one and 2614 rate so high with me with the storytelling you do with music.

As soon as I heard they were operating out of Yellowstone, I knew SCP-2000 was somehow involved.
That's the thing with memory.
Ever since I was a teenager I've accepted that I'll probably be forgotten by the world. It's happened with plenty of other humans throughout history, and it's inevitable that it would happen to me. Once you're gone long enough, you stop being relevant. SCP 3000 also got me thinking about some things. While I'll always be known and remembered in heaven, down on earth, the memory of me will be flawed at best. When everyone who was alive when I was is gone, then every scrap of true mortal memory of me will be lost.
It got me thinking about historical figures like George Washington. There isn't a single person that was alive when he was that is alive and here now. No one who knew him or even heard of him. And while his actions and history are recorded and known, no one knows or had an idea of how he truly thought or felt, the connections he had; that was exclusive to him and those who truly knew him, all in that time.
The truth is, many people die every day with virtually no one knowing about it. As Snicket stated, there are many people in the world, many of which never meet or know about each other anyway. This statement I typed is proof that memories are faulty, as I'm certain that isn't entirely how he worded it. Here is the actual quote: "It doesn't matter if you never see someone again, I told myself. There are millions of people in the world and most of them never see each other in the first place." This is a subtle example that while we remember the core of the message, the details surrounding it can get murky.
Proof of your existence is logged in a file cabinet somewhere, and as generations go by, those after you (including your descendants) will just see you as that: a name and a face. Nothing more. That's the point I made of GW; people will know OF you, but they will never know you. And sometimes there's anonymous accounts online, you know of them without really knowing who they were, you just know that someone, somewhere in a place and time was real.
Life is change, and things of the past will fade away, regardless our station. That's what the Syncope couldn't accept, and that desperation to preserve what was theirs is what drove them and all those they affected to ruin. While it is true that their entire lives were turned around, they couldn't let go of what was passed.
I don't consider high school to be particularly memorable. I knew a few good kids, and a few teachers as well, but other than that I just found a lot of it dull and stressful. I spent a lot of time in high school just being irritated at the stuck ups and just tried to get through it. There were moments of comfort though, like my daily ritual of going up to the library during lunch to play on the computers while munching on pizza, chocolate and whatever. And I never attended what everyone went to because I just saw it as a fuss and a waste of my interest and time. I let them all slide right on by and I don't regret it for an instant. I've always been apart from people, though my autism might be a part of it, it's mostly just me. I did make a few friends, but there's only one I ever have any motivation to talk to.
I knew her since middle school, and she was always out of the way and alone, just doing her own thing, like me. I suppose that's a reason I never bothered her, because I knew the slight amount of peace it brought me, and I didn't want to intrude on hers. I slowly learned more about her as she began to open up to people around senior year, and to be honest, she impressed me to where she was one of the few people that I actually wanted to maintain contact with past high school. I still text with her and show her some of my drawings, and the only regret from that is regretting not getting to know her sooner.
I don't typically like remembering, as it mostly wasn't memorable and I don't like having regrets. I always knew that everyone would forget me and I would forget everyone. That's why most people live for the moment, because they know the past is past, and while it will be forgotten, you will feel alive in the present to see tomorrow. As they say, be happy it happened, not because it's over. As long as you know you were happy, that's quite enough already.
I know that far away in the past, there were people who loved, laughed and suffered in ways we may have no knowing of, just as we will go through things no one else will, and the same will be true of those after us. I take comfort in knowing that we all will have moments that are purely our own, that only we and those we care about will know. The world may lose sight of such moments, but those moments will belong to us and no one else. The people in the past had their private happy moments, and those after us will also. And while we may forget moments, we know deep within that whatever happened, it happened and we lived in them.
But what about what we leave behind? People will interpret our thoughts and actions in different ways. I think little ideas, words and thoughts can invoke even the slightest bit of thinking. I think that by saying what we have to say, we can make others think for just long enough to change. You know that if you look at something, you know it was proof that someone was here; even if you don't know their face or name, you know someone was here to make it. If I can leave something, something like this post just to make someone think, if but for an infinitesimal instant, that would be enough for me.
You may be left behind in the dust, and join those before you, and soon those after will join you, but while we may not remember exactly what happened, we know how it made us feel, the impression it made on us, however simple or complex it may be. They'll probably never know, but we were here, we knew and felt, and I hope that those after us will realize that too.
Some things are better left behind, and to quote Snake a bit: Through the opportunity of the present, --"[B]uilding the future and keeping the past alive are one and the same thing."
But, as the world of the SCP Foundation shows us....
"Sometimes, we survive by forgetting."

@@silentempr8003 Thanks
Wow
"How many times? How many times has this happened? How old is civilization really? has this been just a couple times, maybe two centuries worth of catastrophies? Or are you releasing these on purpose, keeping humanity at this single point in history, controlling the growth of the species from behind the scenes? How many realities have you ended? How many people have died? And you pretend we do this with malicious intent? We wish to remember our past, but you wish us to remain eternally in the present, never moving forward, never forced to evolve, never permitted to change. Only through facing the past will we be ready for the future."
So basically, SPOILERS: it's SCP version of the Mandela Effect
The 225677th Fragment of the Man-Emperor of Mankind have you committed war crimes
@@duo496 It can't be considered war crimes if it's against xenos.
@@Big_E_Soul_Fragment hahaha I was about to condemn you but I remember xenos has no fucking right #notracist

0:56 "as usual, to pad my video length"
dude, who hurt you?
Kinda weird how coincidental we are all interested in this scp. I looked for it and found Nothing up until. Now. I think an scps in effect.
I was drawn into by the declassification scp subreddit. Look for the video before I dug in.
I always listen to these while cooking
Man I love these so damn much, I hope you get to do these for a good long while more
Something something Erich Zann, something something Cosmic Madness
God dang I can't get enough of these videos his story telling is God level and interesting keep up the great work
I didn't get where all this 2000 stuff was coming from until I heard that the kidnappings were around Yellowstone.
I was homeschooled, so I never expirienced High School, but this SCP kinda makes me feel nostalgic for the good old days I never had.
Guy who went to public school in a metropolitan area here. You didn’t miss anything worth while.
Very few people remember their high school years fondly. At least, I've only met one such weirdo here in the U.S. Oh my, he would have been 16 in 1965. Creepy.
@@venomlink2033 I missed a chance to socially adjust and get a girlfriend. Im going into Unversity soon way too late, I'll socially suffer as a result, now.
This is why we need SRAs in every Foundation Site to keep a back up server for everything known. We need a proper back up of what actually happened.
They have a Backup. It's called Cain.
Thank you for the video! All of you friends are super awesome! Oh, moments in this video are sad.
Yo how did you keep a straight face saying the name, "Vasily Stroganoff," that's like naming an Italian guy "Mario Pizza!"
pattern screamer's don't exist, but some used to...
The explanation linking it to scp2000 actually makes sense...I think this is a red herring.
10:34 "a violin made out of wood from Yggdrasil, the world tree"
Wouldn't that technically be any violin?
Watching this in 2023 is hearing "Agent O'Hara" in your ears and hearing "BWANANANANA" in your head.
Never understood why stopping existing is supposedly scary
13:25 JFK wasn’t assassinated in the SCP universe? There was no Vietnam war?
Having the playlist on shuffle while at work, and this one starts playing as my phone battery hits 76%, Coincidence? I think not
Man, that last SCP was pretty horrific. This one is probably a bit lighter...
Nope. Entropy of existential torment time.
I just wonder what it does for the Afterlife/Corbenic every time SCP-2000 is used. Just how many identical people are in there forever?
That's assuming everyone goes to Corbenic when they die and it's not just one of many possible afterlifes.
so in the former time, the vietnam war didn't happen, and JFK wasn't killed? Doesn't sound like a bad timeline tbh.
hope the human extinction wasn't related to that.
a JFXK-event would be fun tho.
@@Yhur4x JFK-event scenario*
and a NVX-End of War scenario
No, the Vietnam War and JFK’s assassination happened in a previous timeline erased by SCP 2000. They didn’t happen in 4833’s timeline.
Great video always look forward to then. Dont change
