ALERT: FORCED MEME WHEN I WAS will be posted repeatedly until you like it.

When I was is the definition of Forced Meme. It usually begins harmless enough. A 4chan user will decide to post a thread, usually with a picture of some MCR guy along with the text, "WHEN I WAS". The point of the thread is to sing the My Chemical Romance song in full. This meme is much hated amongst /b/tards, inciting much anger, making it a useful tool for trolls. The song rarely combos past "my father" and is generally inundated with angry users and sage bombs by the 10th post.

The Song

WHEN I WAS

A YOUNG BOY

MY FATHER

TOOK ME INTO THE CITY

TO SEE A MARCHING BAND

HE SAID, "SON, WHEN YOU GROW UP

WOULD YOU BE

THE SAVIOR OF THE BROKEN

THE BEATEN AND THE DAMNED?"

HE SAID, "WILL YOU DEFEAT THEM?

YOUR DEMONS AND ALL THE NON-BELIEVERS

THE PLANS THAT THEY HAVE MADE

BECAUSE ONE DAY

I'LL LEAVE YOU

A PHANTOM TO LEAD YOU IN THE SUMMER

TO JOIN THE BLACK PARADE.

The Death(??)
