Underground Culture - NEDM

We're not only a links blog here at DL... well, wait, I guess we are - But that's besides the point. I'm sure in many of your visits here you've learned many new, interesting things. Like that shrimps run on treadmills like everyone else, Japan is O_o, Videogame music isn't just background, Gears of War = sweetness, and that even monkeys can host tv shows.

Well today we're going to learn about some underground culture. I'll try to have posts devoted to topics like this every once in a while. Think of it as something like a PBS educational series, except with more exploding kittens.

Today's topic is the ominous NEDM. You may have been bantering with a buddy when suddenly, after you tell him about how you watched this great video the other day of a singing cow, he says "Dude, NEDM could make that worth watching".

What does NEDM mean? As you can see, it's an acronym... A very special acronym, for NEDM means "Not Even Doom Music".

Here is a the backstory, taken from Urbandictionary.com (wikipedia has permanently deleted and locked the article O_O)

A video was posted upon the internet in which two guys take a cat and force it into a hamster cage. They then proceeded to douse the cat with a flammable fluid, and then set the cat alight. This caused an uproar on the forum it was posted upon and was deleted, and authorities were noted. The guys who made the video went to jail.

Later, someone who had a copy of the video posted it on the fad site YTMND, with the music from the very first level of action game DOOM playing in the background. This was mostly met with horror and condemnation, although a few individuals voted 5 stars on the YTMND, in favour of the site. After seeing this, an incensed YTMND member voted 1 (the lowest score) on the sites of everyone who voted 5. On the comments, they said that Not Even Doom Music justifies burning cats. This became a fad very quickly, where people created YTMNDs with pictures of cats and references to cats and fire. Each NEDM YTMND typically has a picture of Happy Cat (A happy grey cat) and the song We Interrupt This Program by Coburn.

First off, I'd like to state that NEDM is not about animal cruelty. Torturing animals is something no one should do. I personally take it very seriously. Nevertheless, NEDM is something worth learning about.

Now,
To understand even more, watch these:
NEDM: The investigation [contains coarse written language; clean audio] - (Demonstrates how anything can be made ominous by adding fight club music)

And now that you get it, let the funny remixes fly!
Wizard of Oz NEDM

Power Rangers Vs. NEDM!

Soviet NEDM

NEDM Revenge (best)

Lex Luthor>Doom music

NEDarthMaul?!

As you can see, it was quite a popular fad during this past summer.
Anyways, hope you learned something!

Oh, and here's the music video of the insanely addicting music: We interrupt this program by Coburn
If someone could hook me up with a torrent for this that'd be swell

closing though: Aha doom!
