The term Internet meme is a phrase used to describe a catchphrase or concept that spreads quickly from person to person via the Internet, much like an esoteric inside joke.[1] The term is a reference to the concept of memes, although this concept refers to a much broader category of cultural information.
Today's internet meme: technoviking
The Techno Viking is a tall, muscular, charismatic, intimidating, German man that danced for the camera in Fuckparade 2000 (a techno street-parade in Berlin Germany). It is said that he has appeared in other years to follow as well. The Fuckparade developed in reaction to the music restriction (exclusion of Gabber music) and commercialization of Love Parade. Additionally, it broached the issue of the techno club "Bunker" being closed. The most played styles of music in the Fuckparade are Gabber, Speedcore, Techno, Punk, and House.
The Techno Viking was made famous because of the "Kneecam" recording of a blue-haired girl dancing, then being crashed into by some unruly guy, causing the Techno Viking to snatch the guy up by his arms and shove him back where he came running from. The Techno Viking then pointed at the man and gazed with an extremely fierce glare in his eyes. An aura of fear eminated from the Techno Viking, causing the man to step down from the confrontation. The Techno Viking then started dancing wildly through the streets after being given a water bottle from one of his fans.
Some opinions say the Techno Viking is becoming more popular on the internet than the "Chuck Norris jokes" because the Techno Viking shows to be a dangerous man if provoked.
There are tonnes of technoviking remixes on youtube. I like this one
man this is gold.
