Here we go!!!
So what is exactly running in the 90’s?
If you’re like me and were initially unfamiliar with the meme when you first heard about it
you may be thinking its Bill Clinton, or maybe even some type of exercise video involving
Richard Simmons and Nirvana, you would be wrong.
But Instead running in the 90’s refers to the title of a eurobeat techno song, The song
was composed by an artist known as Max Coveri…which happens to be an alias of musician Maurizio
De Jorio who is also known as 7th heaven, alan ford, casanova, marko polo, morris, roswell
and many more….I’m not joking, the list of names that this guy is known as goes on
and on.
It’s like he’s a rapper.
His many names make sense though, because maurizio has been creating music since the
80’s.
That’s a pretty long time, I mean, back in the 80’s Michael Jackson was still black…and
alive.
Throughout that time he has had various songs become successful but one of his biggest hits
was “Running in the 90’s” which was released on his album “Golden Age” in
you guessed it, the 90’s.
The song had success prior but became extra popular when it was featured in the long running
manga series Initial D in 1998.
Initial D is a series which focuses on the underground world of illegal japanese street
racing and running in the 90’s was used as the background music to a race show down
in the final scene of the first episode of the series.
Due to it’s mass exposure from it being included in the manga and reaching audiences
of numerous countries.
It started to appear online and began to spread in the early 2000’s.
Particularly on the website YTMND.com where it was used as part of a fad known as “lol,
internet”.
These instances served as humorous gifs to remind people to not always take the internet
so seriously.
First being accompanied with Ronal McDonald Driving a car at outrageous speeds.
Now, I don’t know about you but something tells me he was going a bit faster than what
the speed limit indicated.
I guess when you own a billion dollar franchise zero f’s are given about traffic laws.
These uses soon spread to other examples other than Ronald McDonald.
Typically following similar formats of some intense action happening, usually involving
a vehicle of some sort being driving along with the formula of text “lol comma x”
X being a number of random things with unlimited possibilities.
Running in the 90’s has even branched off to be a part of it’s own genre of video
known as “eurobeat remixes”.
Which often parodies “Initial D” by having race sequences along with various eurobeat
songs
The song has also been used with some of our other favorite popular memes.
Causing running in the 90s to see an increase in popularity yet again!
The song is immensely energetic, it makes you wanna get up and move, Maybe even run!!
anybody?
No?
So it makes sense to why it has become a popular track to accompany funny video.
Not only does it have history as a classic song in the meme world, it’s also pretty
damn epic!
So there you have it!
Running in the 90’s started off as a song from a musician with way too many names and
has evolved to the perfect soundtrack to accompany the often strange and wacky creations people
love to make.
But hey!
That’s the internet for you and on the internet memes are Keeeeng!!!
