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
@@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.
@@mohda.9420 You can get the rest of the lyrics by hitting up the OG song in the description of this very video, and checking the comments. As for an explanation, just look at the lyrics with your newfound knowledge in mind. You should be able to piece it together.
@@The8BitDrummer I've seen you have fun à few times now. At some points in videos you come up with more "advanced" patterns, which I think is when you've heard it before, and I have a hard time believing you're that good. But still dude, you're awesome, and if I ever get into watching twitch streams, I'll be sure to come by yours! Anyway, keep having fun, and sharing it with your community
The amount of joy you have while playing this song is amazing. SOMEHOW I missed this meme (probably since it was during the year my house didnt have internet) and I am SO GLAD I caught this video. It is a glorious meme that should return. ❤
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.
We are all pawns, controlled by something greater: memes. The DNA of the soul. They shape our will. They are the culture - they are everything we pass on.
How have I only just found this song again, a song I was searching for..and figured out its Japanese - a language I'm actively learning.. ok then. 8Bit, nice drumming dude!
Pretty sure I enjoyed every second of this just as much as you did, despite having only discovered this meme days ago thanks to a Lethal Company emote mod. Sick drumming, man.
Geddan and Basilisk Time are JP memes that will forever be in my heart. And probably the only few that will actually make me flail around, even in public.
i have been having an absolutely rubbish week and experiencing your joy in this video brought me back to life! thank you for everything hahahahahahahahahaha

Welcome back to 2009 everyone.
A much more simpler time where memes were easier to understand and had relevancy for years.
And then, Viacom attacked and we almost lost it all.
I wasn't even on the internet yet in 2009. Damn.
Ah we still have memes like that nowadays
*sans exists afterall*
Deevster Can we go back to that, please? If only for about 2-3 months?

The "get down" never really died in my heart.
And actually, the full song is really nice and pretty lyrics xD
Same here.
Until you sit down and read the translation
This concludes our meme history lesson for the day!
Man, I wonder what other meme song you will be teaching your class in the future
Have you done Caramelldansen yet? I'd like to see that.
That would be really nice to do. You, a teacher of memes
F victor entertainment
You sir are a man of culture
This song's subtext is so DARK, but the chorus is just too catchy to ignore! It's a great juxtaposition.
This is common for Japanese songs. Search 9.8 by Mili for a perfect example
Can someone explain how the subtext is dark?

Me before watching: Why is Jarod getting so hyped over this random song.
Chorus plays: *OH!!!* It's *THAT* song!
It's been 3000 years.
1:10 for anyone wanting to "GET DOWN" to the chorus.
I was waiting for him to spin like a beyblade.
"Man, that was weird."

touhou every where :v
@@coolskeleton2767 touhou moment
@@Karxy toubruh moment
yugioh abridged had the greatest voice acting
Oh god yes
I was totally expecting him to go nuts to the chorus.
CALLED IT!!! XD
The drum beats you've laid down only served to make an already good fun song even better, oh my g O D. Your drumming is a gift, just as I'd hoped!
Thanks so much for the kindness dude! :D
When someone reacts like that you KNOW they’re an OG
I reacted the same way
TH-cam was so much more simpler back then
Then you gotta hit em with the Numa Numa
Late reply, but same
TH-cam Police: *spots old meme* GET DOWN
At first I was confused about what I was getting into. But then the song got to that part.
1:23 if you told me I was gonna go hear this meme with a blast beat played over it on a live stream ten years ago, I wouldn't have believed you.
that's the best part
old japanese memes are good memes
NICO NICO NIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII!!
Nice boat

I still can't get over the joy on Jerod's face when he realizes that this is the song he hopes it is
so a really good meme caused a man to have a stroke out of sheer happiness
is nice
Well the meme is about having a stroke afterall, well, stroking out of reality
Woah I've just realised I've never actually heard this song aside from the chorus before.
Also heck yea classic memes~
I know! It's so surreal hearing a meme song in its original form. Like Caramelldansen at its original speed, or the original Levan Polka by Loituma.
theres a rest of the song?!?!
The really weird thing is how juggling the N64 cartridge makes classic J-pop play like that.
Also, I don’t know what vintage of DDR player you are, but if you know God of Romance from 5th Mix the original was also by Hirose Kohmi.
It was specific to Goldeneye n64
That's the proper reaction to this song indeed.
A man of culture.
Time 2 ｇｅｔｄａｎ
*glitched dance*
The Goldeneye glitch is what comes to mind.
**Spining Nitori flashback*
its get down* but okay
Song: (is about a widow dying in a snow field thinking about her dead husband)
8-Bit Drummer: (laughing like a maniac having an awesome time)
wait. what? I thought it's just a cheesy love song :O
@@dogofchaos Sorry to ruin the fun. A lot of Japanese pop songs tend to be like this.
@@lemonpringlesdoodles that's okay, at least I learned something new :)
ah yes. geddan. the pinnacle of hardware memes
Guys is he improving for all his streams?! He's a mad man!
Indeed! It is alot of fun! :D Sometimes I will have heard a song before but most of the time I am just winging it LOL

*Don't mind me*
I'm just here chillin' with the music
Alright broski
Ok Duchi!
ight gotcha
Hey your comment and my name are similar
His joy is absolutely infectious 😁
1:34 *insert perfectly timed "BRUH"
The reason i like Jarod: he is having a fucking blast drumming and we’re having a blast listening
I have many words but few can be structured into a sentence describing the feelings I feel witnessing this man’s unrivaled joy towards this tune

Man i love the energy this guy gives off❤
That was an astonishing performance. Your drumming was an excellent addition to the melody of Promise (Get Down).
How have I only just found this song again, a song I was searching for..and figured out its Japanese - a language I'm actively learning.. ok then.
8Bit, nice drumming dude!
Nitori:🚶♀️🚶♂️➡️🧍♀️🧎➡️🧎🕺💃🏃➡️🏃💃🏃➡️🏃♀️
This made my heart's heart smile.
I have never ever seen someone so happy! :-)
I love it when he recognizes a song and laughs triumphantly, like
That's pure happiness, right there
THE WAY HE LAUGHS THE ENTIRE WAY THROUGH
Pretty sure I enjoyed every second of this just as much as you did, despite having only discovered this meme days ago thanks to a Lethal Company emote mod. Sick drumming, man.
I love how he is loving this song. So much joy.
POV: someone tilt your cartridge
Unironically my favourite song ever made
oh shit, wait, I just realised my profile picture is still from one of the memes made :D

TILT THOSE CARTRIDGES BOIS
Seeing Jerod happy makes me happy, that’s why I love watching the streams.
old song, yet the only damn word i know of this song is "get down" and "kimochi" :v
Oh God, I want to play TouHou again, nostalgia about Nitori Get Down
this brings up so much memories... i miss 2008-2010...
1:14 co-co-co-co-combo breaker
I love how your excited about hearing this song. I was laughing so hard! LOL
1:11 When the nostalgia hits you
Memes do not die. They simply evolve and find new circumstances under which to become relevant.
I loved the original meme as a child for the song and honestly it’s incredibly pretty even when imagining the Geddan meme over it constantly
Was going down the old meme rabbit hole and found this. The sheer joy of this video has officially made my day lmao
There is something moving how Twitch Drummer / Twitch Vtubers keeping Geddan meme alive decades after it started in Japanese TH-cam.
Why have I never heard this song before. It s l a p s.
HOW CAN SHE SLAP
I had my hopes up. Then saw "3 years ago" :(
Now I MUST find out where you got that DDR shirt from!
Just hearing the sheer joy coming from this guy hearing this song puts a smile on my face.
I don't understand why Get Down is back, but I love it
Geddan and Basilisk Time are JP memes that will forever be in my heart.
And probably the only few that will actually make me flail around, even in public.
The absolute Joy in his eyes at the beginning there. I love it.
It's so enjoyable to watch such talent and happiness!
1:11 get down
Crap, theres no cartridge to tilt, what do I do?
Take 200 photo stills of yourself, edit together.
You're welcome. ;)
@@WardOfSouls horse head mask is optional, pelvic thrusting is required for the "ooo-o-o-o" part
YES!
This almost feels like a Royal Rumble comeback of a famous wrestler. :'D
core memory opened
I love how he fuckin' nerds out first before starting. Pogtastic.
At first I didn't recognize the song... then the chorus happened.
To think I would find this through a Half-elf flinging a Bear around like no tomorrow
fr internet really makes you whiplash into great content sometimes lol
Props for going with the much better original version instead of the sped-up one that got memed.
This song gives me whiplash both literally and figuratively.
*Touhou girl wtf dance intensifies*
All I get from this is the old golden eye meme bruv
That started it. Then this song got stuck with it.
何で知ってんだよwww
the happiness is so contagious
This is the quality content I subscribed for!
Fucking hell brother you’re going hard on those drums, BRILLIANT
dont mind me just remembering buried alive from pokemon firered because i used to hear this song after hearing his story
This is great. My dude looks like he's having the time of his life lol.
Omg done and recorded the crazy dance of geddan last 10 years.. hahaha
the pure joy in this guy's face as he plays the song. lmao I love it
YESSS!!! Ohhh, this meme was gone too soon!!!
Man I used to watch you years ago. Cannot believe I found ya again through this meme 😂
Golden eye cartridge tilt
The goal is to be as happy in my life as 8BitDrummer is in this video
i live for that laugh at 0:43
ｹﾞｯﾀﾞﾝ知ってるの草
yes
This video makes me so happy cause the guy is so excited aw
Get down but its actually a remix for an anime
I LOVE THIS SONG
You can imagine my disappoint when he didn't start flailing art 1:10.
This was the drumming mix I never knew I needed, but am ecstatic that this amazing beat has been bestowed upon us all.
i have been having an absolutely rubbish week and experiencing your joy in this video brought me back to life! thank you for everything hahahahahahahahahaha
just feels like back to old great time So great
Holy shit. I've been wanting to find out the name of this song for such a long time. Thanks.
It's honestly a banger of song though
Why i have the urgent emotion of spinning like a crazy glitch NPC?!
His excitement when playing the song lol
