online hubris: Tay Zonday

Tay Zonday, (whose IRL name is Adam), is was briefly an internet phenomenon. He rose to the attention of /b/ after singing Chocolate Reign, a song in which he sings about the upcoming revolution in which he will rise to power as the communist-Stalinist dictator of The New World Order. Some of his songs feature the same repetitive piano hook for five minutes straight. Even Tay himself acknowledges that the song is complete crap.

Chocolate Rain

Now in gif form

The song was shown to Anon on the outskirts of /b/ during July 11th, and has quickly eclipsed the time honored Rickroll, having been deemed the "Tayroll". This was helped in part by Carson Daly crapping all over the Rickroll a month prior. (Choklit rheinn, amirite?) In the song, Mr. Zonday performs his patented Stealth Breathing technique, wherein **he moves away from the mic to breathe in. (I suppose he's never heard of a noise gate?) This, however, is a lie, because everyone knows that Tay Zonday is a cyborg hell bent on raining chocolate all over North America.

When Science created a Supermeme

Tayroll takes Youtube by storm.

Although at first, Zonday was wary of the sudden burst in popularity he'd received from 4chan, he eventually embraced it. On July 18th, Tay Zonday released a cover version of Rick Astley's Never Gonna Give you Up, and ascended the ranks of epic win, using his knowledge in Computer Science III to combine two of the greatest memes of our time. The video was deemed Tayroll by its creator, and noone objected.

July 26th - ZonDay

OJ played the piano too. Coincidence? I think not.

On July 26th, Zonday released yet another epic video entitled 'Internet Dream'. Moments after it was released, Youtube staff recognized Zonday as an Internet deity and put the top Chocolate Rain-related videos on the front page all day and posted a blog declaring that July 26th is officially ZonDay.

Also on July 26th, Moot showed that he still cares about Anon, and decked out /b/ in honor of ZonDay, adding Chocolate Rain references everywhere, including an embedded remix of the song. You can listen to it here. However, constant MySQL connection failures made everything extremely unfunny.

Tay subsequently was picked up by the old media, and he went on to do television shows and commercials. However, by the time IRL media took notice nobody cared anymore.
