The fact that they were able to get so many people to showcase the golden age of TH-cam is still amazing.
I love miss Carolina in there. Genius.
i was going to say that-- nice
The golden age of internet period... GG to the old days.
Brandon It was just how TH-cam was when this was made. It wasn’t looked back on as the golden age yet.
Especially Dramatic prairie dog and Charlie the unicorn 😆😂🤣
reminder that this won a grammy for best music video back in 2009
as it should've
fucking good, this is actual art
No!
And rightfully so
It should win best music video for the rest of ever because weezer is awesome and fuck you
At the time this was new people might've thought it was cringe, but these days I find it incredibly nostalgic and even kind of touching. This is the *real* TH-cam Rewind special.
YESSSSS!!!!!!
I remember the DAY this video came out! It was actually a major hit and the views blew up like no other video I had seen. One of the first 'viral' music videos. I was 14 years old and now I'm 27. Nobody I knew thought it was cringe back then, most of my friends found it awesome, especially the friends who enjoyed youtube with me. We'd watch on our parent's laptops. People in these comments claim they thought it was lame and played out back then, but I don't personally know anyone who felt that way. I downloaded the song off limewire and put it on my ipod shuffle the next day for school XD
@Kuudere Kitten That’s actually a really awesome story. Thx for sharing, my dude!
@@kuuderekitten5201 exactly, man! I’m the same age as you and everyone I know loved this video from people my age to people a lot older than me. You really only had to have cursory knowledge about the memes to enjoy it.
They sing this during their Indie Rock Roadtrip tour, I saw them Tues in Irving and last night in OKC. This song was amazing live ❤
Golden Age of TH-cam, no ads, no algorithm, not owned by a corporation, you could upload whatever you found funny. That was it.
Yes the old good days, now some videos are deleted for dumb reasons
ads were put on youtube in 2007, there has always been an algorithm, and google bought youtube in 2006. This song was made in 2009
@@Code_EJ less ads, algorithm didn't fuck people over as badly, it at least *felt* more community run than now
sad how so many people won't see this internet and think the over monetization and politics is normal
almost feels like prophecy with the lyrics, back when people didn't care about what others thought more often and minded their own business
it was owned by a corporation, just not one worth billions
Boy i sure loved this year's youtube rewind
Nice
Que hacei aca wn XD
Back when that's all we were worrying about...
Lol
I know, right? They should put Weezer in charge of all of the TH-cam Rewinds.
Can we all appreciate the fact weezer made a positive outlook for everyone here who was massively bullied after going viral.
Weezer is good people
Especially Chris Crocker. I thought it was really sweet having Rivers come in and give him a hug.
@@SuperJNG18 Chris is now Cara Cunnigham, she's a transwoman :) Just letting everyone who wasn't aware know.
Bingo. Fantastic video and message .
@@LolaOpheliac Had no idea! Thank you for telling me
2:49 - The cathartis of Numa Numa Guy singing " EXCUSE MY MANNERS IF I MAKE A SCENE" with such a defiant look in his eye honestly makes me tear up (a lot). Remember, the guy was made fun of a ton, and even got fired from his job after being one of the first people to go viral. Now he's an internet legend and the lyrics fit so well for him.
Likewise Cara Cunningham (then Chris Crocker) saying she "ain't gonna wear the clothes that you like" at 1:00 , as she's always been GNC and now come out as a trans woman
I love when the Afro guy got his moment too where he had a cool fight scene for a couple of seconds. Made me tear up after how much that guy was made fun of
@@edgarroberts8740good song too. I don't care what anyone says he introduced me to it and I danced in my chair too.
Right tho... I teared up 😂
@edgarroberts8740 quite possibly the least shocking trans woman coming out ever
Watching this again after many years, for some reason I completely broke down in tears. What a time capsule into my formative years on the internet. I don’t know if it’s a lament of the lost boundless optimism of that era or just nostalgia, but damn. I wept for something lost, for the memories. Feels good to cry but what an interesting catalyst. It’s a masterpiece.
it's like a time capsule
Definitely hits emotional for me too. Those days of TH-cam where the "You" actually meant it. Of course there are still examples of that today, but damn was it more pure in those days. People posted themselves in a much more unfiltered light. It was raw, amateur and ugly. It's hard to describe, but this song captures something beyond nostalgia for me. It hits different than it did 13 years ago.
I'm with you man, I always loved this video/song but I went back to watch it because the "Maps" beauty queen was used in a meme and no one recognized her. I don't blame you for being emotional because imo this era for youtube was peak fun and goofy, it's not like that anymore. Cyberbullying was never okay but having a laugh is fine and all these people were having a laugh about themselves. I wish I could find the original filming of it, it was great.
Me because of the spiritual message it had for me in it
Shhhhhhhhh rude. Not trying to cry again. 😝❤
Weezer didn't know that they were documenting when the internet was in its prime and was still great.
Or perhaps they did.
@@elgiacomo *Dramatic moment*
Crying for Britney won't be missed bro
@@ryanremerow6620 she was right the whole time tbf
I think maybe they did.
It's like some sort of meme museum.
A memeseum.
The Science Museum
Mus-meum
+mrmeatymeatball its awesome
GMODTF24EVER Where?
+mrmeatymeatball You sir, are a genius!
This might be one of the best music videos of all time
Actually it is. Winner of the 2009 Grammy to Best Music Video.
I love this video
It legitimately is.
Truly
This is like the first and only Meme vid ever lol
Listening to this 13 years later just hits different. Normally all old songs are nostalgic, yeah yeah, but this particular song just put every trending video in the beginning era of TH-cam into one music video and it is especially emotional now that I'm older and everything is different. This is my childhood right here in one video.
me too buddy me too
This aged incredibly well
@LegoGuy87 Its more than about what memes it used, it's about how it's from a time period when being a TH-camr wasn't cool or a career or anything like that. Back in the day, these were the inside jokes of an underdog subculture, and that lends credibility to both the music video and the song's defiant lyrics. Who better to illustrate 'doing the things you wanna do' than people who bared themselves on the internet, often got made fun of or marginalized, and then subsequently became part of the DNA of internet culture? The video content matches the music in a way that's extremely rare.
It's the best youtube rewind.
@@ungovernableevilmonger4660 Especially since this was the video that inspired the entire rewind concept. This is a historical record of internet culture in its infancy.
Internet culture had existed loooong before this video but it’s an accurate reflection on the infancy of widespread video culture.
@@mirsolis4992 Of course it did, but it was very fragmented. Tons of subcultures that existed all over the internet with overlapping sectors like a Venn Diagram. I kind of think of that as Internet culture's infancy. From around 2000 onward internet culture started to form a more coherent and unified identity. Still with uncountable subcultures but held together now with a social aspect overtop it all.
This video has memes in it like NumaNuma which started on Newgrounds in 2004, Peanut Butter Jelly Time started around 2002, and All Your Base has been kicking around since around 1998. So while this video is the first re-wind and a time capsule of early TH-cam culture it's all also a record of early internet culture.
Back when youtube had a front page, and one video full of references told you everything you needed to know about the culture
Yes
Back in the day when TH-cam was fun. And no blood ads everywhere
oh damn I missed that memo. too busy livin life in the real fucking world hey. stupid me! I'm 40 now. no kids. single. yay.
robert i dodnt know you liked weezer
oh wow robert
Well, thank you Tom Scott. Without you, I wouldn't have discovered this gem of a video. A time capsule of what TH-cam culture was back in the 2000. It's incredibly nostalgic and it fills me with happiness
Weezer Rocks!!!!!

Do you mean TomSka? Just watched his video on meme culture and I was glad he brought up this banger.
@@emporioalnino4670 Tom Scott linked to it in his newsletter.
@@emporioalnino4670For context, Tom Scott mentioned this video in his newsletter last Monday
"I don't give a hoot" has been my mantra for the past 13 years. Now I'm a doctor and I run my own healthy ecology business. Thanks, weezer. I listen to this song at least once a week to remind me why I did this.

A celebration of internet culture in its golden era... before it was corporatized. So good ❤️❤️❤️
dude memes now aren't corporatized. what fuckin company would use "E" to advertise their company
@@patioc 🤦
*cough cough* the news about the charlie bit my finger video...
It was already corporatized back then but it wasn't as prevalent
Yeah not like this video makes any money... right?
A lot of people point to the Africa cover as Weezer solidifying themselves in the pop-culture ethos, but I think this is where Weezer won over a massive amount of fans and gained a lot of good will on the internet, which has kept them relevant even as a lot of the band members are entering their mid-50s. This is when TH-cam was still a relatively small and connected platform and was more about making personal and offbeat content over drama videos and high budgeted stuff. Mathew Cullen who directed the video completely understood that Rivers lyrics relate to that kind of crowd and melded them together perfectly. It's such a great love letter to that era and it's one of the major factors that has kept them relevant. The feeling of that outsiderness distilled into a catchy pop song and an awesome video.
My daughter is 11 and has discovered weezer . She says she likes the messages in the song of being yourself no matter what others say 😊
The original TH-cam Rewind and only good TH-cam Rewind
Surprise Sydney
Dylan Strider true
Dylan Strider nah dude the one with the Abcs was awesome
youtube meme rewind was pretty great too tho
Agreed
Imagine if this song was made today, the memes they would use would probably become outdated a few days after the music video was released.
Memes during the pre-2014 internet often lasted for years
I.e. rage comics
More like before the video came out by the time any music video came out any memes it had when being created would be too old
Nyarthonis some from that era, like the American Choppers “Chair throw argument” meme. Even came back into popularity after years of being obsolete. xD
Unless they used Wojak, or any other meme that has had reiteration upon reiteration.
This is truly a time capsule of the internet. I mean imagine people like me who never got to experience this culture, and being able to just taking a look at this. It’s amazing to say the least. Makes me wish I could’ve experience a time like this.
My heart breaks for people who only know the internet as the enslavement device it is today. It was truly glorious in its golden era.
Things sucked just as much as they do now, they just sucked... differently.
Don't worry mate :)
That hug with Cara put something right in the universe. What an emotional video! Thank you Weezer for creating such an amazing time capsule ❤
Weezer made the original TH-cam Rewind before TH-cam was making them
Golden Beach?
I don't give a hoot about what you think.
Unlike TH-cam's this is actually good.
@@whiteymcflightey initial few were pretty good, actually. It all went downhill since like 2013.
Can we get Weezer to make a proper TH-cam Rewind for 2018?
They'd have nothing to work with

@@xiro120 This is so sad. Press Like if you cried
@@esbenduejacobsen7504 plenty!
There's something about that one hug that feels so sincere.
No matter how many times I watch this video it puts a smile on my face. I don't know every single reference they make but I know most of them, and it just touches me how they managed to put a time capsule on such a short-lived period. Things move so fast, technology advances so quickly, trends and pop culture change almost as soon as they're created; but it hasn't always been like this, and this video showcases a time when we were kind of right on the border between eras. Or maybe I'm just overly nostalgic because this video is about viral videos from when I was in middle school, and everything looks different in a preteen's memory, but I don't know. Things don't feel the same now as they did then, and I'm just grateful to Weezer for making this video happen, and to all these people for agreeing to be in it and to play up the things that made them go viral, even in the cases where it was stuff that got them massively bullied.
2005 - 2008 was a magical time for the internet
Jake Branthe I know right the world has now gotten bad music DJ. Khalid, Justin Bieber, Miley Cyrus, Maroon 5..... 😭😭😭
Nerd Central Maroon 5’s only good song imo is She Will Be Loved. I don’t know why tf they decided to make shitty music after that.
What a golden age, sad to think kids these days won’t have that experience
I was there too! Before the dawn of rage culture, and the ensuing commodification of validation.
Jake Branthe ikr its the best
"I'm fine and dandy with the me inside" I absolutely love their message. Weezer has always been the best band. Genuine and always themselves
Genuine and always themselves?
@@drake1896 Yep. Genuine and always themselves
Counterpoint : raditude
@@drake1896 definitely
Agreed. I suppose I don’t love them as much as I did when I was younger, but I still love them and there’s no denying that they’re genuine and always themselves.
If you grew up in the 2000's, you were living the good days. Wish we knew it was the good days.
i’m not gonna lie i’m tearing up remembering all this and more. time really fly’s by
youtube rewind weezer did it first
Yeah. After seeing TH-cam started in 2012 with that Gangnam Style crap I was like what about the other 7 years you didn't rewind?
the other years was weezer dude they already had it covered cause they're awesome like dat
Shawn Sankey I know but before I heard the song. I thought WTF where are they?
LOV THE PIC DUDE！！！can't wait for the new game thats coming out!!!
Dat picture tho ABEEEE
Remember when memes lasted for years instead of dying in a week?
Cause they were actually good
A mechanical pencil All Star and Never Gonna Give You Up are still around as memes
@@GMinus Not as strong as they used to be
Vitorio Pedrelli They haven’t died out yet tho
Nyarthonis completely false but ok
I don’t think people realize how truly iconic this video is. 🙌🏼 and I feel bad for those who don’t.
Saw them last night. Hadnt heard this song before but was absolutely the highlight of their act, this song has such pure punk rock energy
Saw them two days ago and i totally feel you
this like legitimately belongs in the library of congress, weezer did an incredible job of archiving an entire era of culture in this video
Before grubby corporations etc got their filthy fingers in the pie. I hate what the internet has become now.

I LOVE WEEZER SO MUCH
we should designate this music video as a time capsule of an era.
Along with a PS2 and a TV that isn't a flat screen
Weezer deserve to be in a time capsule
Yes
@@levi7753 they still made flat crt tvs and occasionally flat screen projection tvs
kids in future generations are going to be so confused by this video
Yep
***** Mission Accomplished, as far as I'm concerned.
Lol I'm not really that confused tbh :/
But i do watch a lot of random TH-cam videos soooo xD
***** i dont know what i just watched, but someone please tell me, its part of my research paper. All i heard was I dont care and Ill do what i want? HELP
i'm convinced this video is the most beautiful thing the internet brought to life
this video happened when the internet humor was still sincere. its all ironic now. fucking great time capsule and song
Back then everything was ironic and cynical, now everyone takes themselves seriously. Great song yeah
the original youtube rewind
back when “broadcast yourself” felt special
youtube felt special
anyone could make a video and become an overnight sensation
But they really never could. It was the same bullshit from virtually the beginning. It was an illusion that anyone could become famous of a video, in practice not so much.
@@hhll9294 do they even have broadcast yourself as a slogan anymore?
Say what you want about TH-cam then vs now but it’s definitely a much more viable platform for money and success now than it was 10 years ago.
@@Fullmetalcowboi No, unfortunately.
@@RockmanYoshi kinda shows how the TH-cam environment has changed
Remember when the internet was fun?
pepperidge farm remembers
At the weezer concert I attended last night, they quoted this, or said something similar to this before they played pork and beans.
I blame smartphones
@@Paprrika Hey I was at that concert too lol!
It is fun
Thank you Weezer.
Remember guys, this video won a Grammy for best music video in 2009…
Weezer winners, yes yes yes
This video was shot *10* years ago. Welcome to being old.
You aren't even old until 10 years is no big deal, lols.
And the opening line is about the lead singer being told hes getting old.
They were ahead of their time. Doing TH-cam Rewind better than TH-cam could years before they did it.
Now I'm sad.
Ah, fuck. I can't believe you've done this.
This was like....the music video to send off the way of the old TH-cam. Before the dark times, before the monitization
Money is the root of all evil
Everything is starting to resemble cable and corporate bull shit.
lol sw refference. no comments coz no 1 gets it
And the demonetization
Tooooday!
Captains logbook: August 3rd 2023, the internet has become a toxic wasteland, there's no sign of intelligence, and the place is plagued with nudity and bots... I've come across this piece of history that perfectly summarizes TH-cam's peak and greatest moments before the catastrophe, let's build a monument around it to commemorate our childhood and a moment when life was simpler...
The song has a great message, the only thing you ever need to be is yourself
This is going to be an important historical artifact one day.
(I say “one day” since calling them a historical artifact now would just seem like it’s just calling them old 😅)
But until then, it shall be *a r t !*
I'm old enough to remember most of this happening, but newer generations will need an internet historian, like Whang, to dissect and explain this.
@@psychodrummer1567 Looking back, a lot of these memes were really the first shaky steps of internet culture as it moved from it's infancy in isolated image boards, mailing lists, and personal websites and into an actual shared cultural identity with it's own distinct language, art, and morality.
It already is; I came here to make this comment.
Yep. I think so!

True though 😂😂
OMG YES

this is one of my fav music videos ever.
back when youtube was youtube
nice
and women were women and men liked it
GerryMander "we could use a man like Herbert Hoover again"
What is youtube now then? Rutube?
Missed those days
It's weird - when this video first came out I remember rolling my eyes because it just felt like it was cashing in on a bunch of viral trends at the time. It wasn't that cool to see Tay Zonday show up because it felt like it had just happened. Leave Britney Alone and K-Fed were annoying videos that I was happy to see finally die out and suddenly here they were, annoying me again.
Watching it now over a decade later, this video hits different. What felt at the time like a lame attempt to be internet-cool is now a nostalgic time capsule that brings me back to better times. I appreciate it in a way that I didn't at the time. Plus it's a pretty great song too.
I think they matched song to subject matter perfectly too. A lot of viral hits and internet culture back then was almost anti-cool. A lot of it was the equivalent of singing in the shower that everyone sees and tells you to keep singing.
Same thing with the Meme Quartet video, though both are just as good as it is corny though...
I was going to post something like this but you said it perfectly.
So you watched it then and now? Sounds like it really annoyed you that you see it, and instead of moving on, you keep watching it.

***** Me too dude :(
It's not 2018...
I miss the this is Sparta remixes and just all of the shit from those times of TH-cam but now all we have is repetitive unoriginal memes like the spongegar memes that are just boring
Never thought a weezer song would go from funny to emotional. Best years of my life really.
My favorite years of the internet were the Tech TV, Call for Help, The Screen Savers days, 2001-2004, but this brings back great memories as well.
they did memes before some memes were even a meme, i love u weezer

memes were a meme before 2008 man
the memes before memes were before memes aren't even here.

Here my guy. I cry about it all the time
yes!
Me. Fosho. TH-cam was way more creative and new and original back then. People became viral for trying and being themselves or being really talented. I miss it like crazy
Yo
yup
When this song came out I was too busy to appreciate music. 17 years later I stumbled on to it what a treat!
Dear Weezer, it's been 15 years. A new update to this song and video is what I think the world could benefit from. A "where are they now" of the origins of the first major viral videos and maybe some new ones from the last 15 years. Numa guy and his album released in 2019, afro-ninja released a self titled movie, leave Brittany alone guy needs to meet Britney and hug it out, etc.
The song is about accepting yourself and your oddnesses, but at the same time there's an undercurrent about improving yourself. For one thing, there's the guy who starts out falling all over himself, and then a couple of visits later he's fighting off multiple attackers. That other guy can't get a spray bottle to work with Mentos without making a mess of himself, but ends up having a whole orchestra of spewers.
Wow
100%

Man youtube has changed so much in nine years, it's unrecognisable from this
Ten years now, still stands, even more so
IKR, it went from a fun loving site to a clickbait infested greedy company.
@@signal_584
That seems unfair. There's money to be made now so things have commercialized more, which means there's a lot of trash channels and third party corporations posting clickbait. But if you know where to look there are a lot of amazing high quality channels that we used to have to pay money for to see. TH-cam in 2006 was just random video's made by amateurs. It was honest and every now and then a gem would show up, but it's nothing compared to the quality on today's TH-cam.
Man, we just thought the Internet would continue being great forever, didn't we? None of us realized we were at the peak, living a brief, golden moment before the Great Enshittification began.
Thank you Matt Rose for sending me down memory lane with this song.
Oh the nostalgia. I miss these days.
What you mean it was only 6 years ago.to have nostalgia it has to be ten years or older
musthemc I have Nostalgia about last Tuesday.
Whatever. I do what I want.
Reptile Nexus you should have said i dont care about what you think
it was only 5 years ago ._.
you feel nostalgic listening to THIS weezer song? god i feel old :(
Memes? No kids, back then, they were called "Viral Videos"
Lrn2RespectEveryone Yep, TH-cam was much simplier back then
They were called memes back then also. In fact, a news report released around the time this song was released referred to them as memes, and the usage of "internet meme" stems as far back as the late 90s.
Wow. Tell me more papa.

Watching this on May 17, 2024, and I just want to say that this song is wonderful. I blast this in the gym and it makes me so happy, helping me live life with a smile on my face. Thank you Weezer.
At least Weezer didn’t make a glorified watch mojo list
This actually made me RoFL
watch mojo is the Dane Cook of TH-cam list makers
no more bread left
To be fair they didn’t have a choice. They tried to give us stuff we wanted, and they technically succeeded,
They just did 😂

2:18 this still makes me feel so happy.
yo same its so wholesome
@Devin Garcia I am completely serious
@Devin Garcia Ah fair enough and idk I hardly see weezer as being condensing with their intentions but who knows
@@_preschooldropout_ the song is about not giving a shit what other people think so yes this was positive
I listened to this for a drunk and depressed nostalgia, then I watch and I see all the OG memes and I'm fucking crying. I love this.
Red was such a good album...
This is such a great symbol of early TH-cam. Oh my gosh.
I just cried. I just realize how impactful truly this is to TH-cam. Before there was cancel culture, hate mobs, internet bloodsports and barely relevant content. TH-cam was truly about the creators just making what they want. There will be a Renaissance someday.
2020 is the year we remember.
I agree. Back in the day the internet and social media was fun and we all had a good time. Now everyone is just so narcissistic and toxic. This video is a sad reminder of the internet before SJWs, alt righters and influencers.
"before hate mobs" chris chan, jessi slaughter, mitchell henderson ("an hero") and many others would like a word
I just love your comment. That’s all.
back when people shared what they were doing, how they felt, what they liked etc. instead of "celebrity X said this" or "politician X said that" to validate their beliefs. I mean, facebook for example originally had the feeds say "(name) is..." and now everyone just shares links and images that they didn't make
@@redactedredacted658 YOU DUN GOOFED
If feels like this came out a couple years ago... dude, what is happening with my perception of time? Getting old is a trip.
When this released, I just thought it was "that catchy new Weezer song whose video contained references to all the viral videos" at the time. Fast-forward to today, and not only do I now truly appreciate it as a rallying cry for the outcasts and misfits of the world to just express themselves however they wish without regard for any ridicule thrown their way, but the music video also serves as the perfect time capsule of 2000s internet culture. And it does so in a way that respects those whose videos are referenced. With the passage of time, this song and its accompanying video serve as a cultural touchstone for a decade that's now far behind us. It's truly fascinating.
An unrelated video that makes tributes to memes from 2008 manages to be better than TH-cam Rewind 2017 lmfao
And 2018.
A lot of those memes are from before 2008.
2018 too
2018: The year that TH-cam Rewind became the most disliked video of all time
2019 lol
Who else thinks in 2019 Weezer should shoot a remake of this video with web videos/phenomenon released in the ten year period?
ShaDHP23 uhh no....new youtube is shit. poodiepie and other morons ruined youtube. old youtube fo lyfe!!
When youtube was a happy place...
+LesPaul1482
And then around that time, we remember the good youtubes such as Pewediepie, and then hate on whatever releases in 2019.
would be cringe as fuck
+Skippy McStringStrum no im pretty sure that i will always hate on poodiepie lol dudes a spaz with 10 year old following
I can’t believe it’s been 13 years… still one of the internet’s most awesome songs. 👏 ❤
Man that hug to Chris Crocker… I felt it
How did I only just now find this masterpiece? I love it! Contains most of the TH-cam classics too
Welcome to the golden side of the TH-cam
@@danielg.5070 When we all were just a bunch of idiots broadcasting ourselves... and Blip was their biggest enemy...
Oh sweet summer child, you don't know know how long the trolling was been going on for
As someone who watched this when it came out, it makes me happy to know people are still discovering it.
@@dag66 for under 3?
More like Pork and Memes.
(drumbeat) haha
SUCH TRUE ;3
These ain't just memes, these are og memes.
These aren't just og memes, these are dank memes.
porn and memes will be more correct
When even WEEZER can make a better TH-cam Rewind than TH-cam.
This is the OG youtube rewind and no one can deny this
