hi yeah i found out recently that the popular caramelldansen (you know. the one you know.) is actually a fucking nightcore remix and this is the original
forbidden knowledge
Caramelldansen is the ultimate relic of the past because it wasn’t just a meme song it was a Nightcore remix meme song that got even more popular than the original.
Even darker secret knowledge the original dance also isn’t that version either. Most can see the original dance in the background of a scene in Fast&Furious: Tokyo Drift.
It’s not Nightcore, it predates Nightcore. The term you are looking for is Speedycake. After the late* DJ Speedycake.
The dance used in the vast number of 2d anime-esque caramelldansen vids has nothing to do with Caramell; it came from a gif on 4chan referred to as “Popotan dance” that started as fanart of an adult visual novel because of course it did. Speedycake was making his remixes at the same time as people were making popotan dance gifs of everything, and the memes converged into a compound supermeme that swept the internet.
The video above is yet another fan-made video, using 12 characters from the iDOLM@STER series. (Hint: the band that created the song is Swedish, so anything obviously Japanese did not come from them).
The first official video released by Caramell was this version, six years after the song was first released and two years after it started to spread as a meme:
fucking terrifying how deep this rabbit hole goes
DJ SPEEDYCAKE IS FUCKING DEAD?!
According to his Twitter he’s just as surprised to learn he’s dead as we are
Also an update on his thoughts about CMD coming back
