== 573 spotting == | |||
Since 573 can be read as "KONAMI" in Japanese, it appears often in its games, including the numerous BEMANI game series. People on several fora, including the Facebook group "Music Game Hell", would post 573s they spotted in lieu of being original. This lead to the creation of a group, "Haha I get it its the konmai number", to respond to posts that were simply 573s, and act as a storehouse for spotted 573s in itself. An offshoot group, "With a little elbow grease, this could be 573, but you're not there yet", was dedicated to "not-quite" 573s its members spotted (such as 572 or 673). | |||

When V was not revived for [[CS IIDX RED|IIDX RED CS]], many players took this as a sign that KONAMI hated them by ruining their joke.

== [[MAX 300|MAX300]] == | |||
MAX 300, particularly written without the space as '''MAX300''', has enjoyed memetic status among the community since not long after it was introduced. Uninformed newbie players tended to treat MAX 300 as being the hardest song in the entire DDR series, even after much more difficult songs became available. A running joke, therefore, has been to treat clearing it as a goal unassailable by all but the most inhumanly skilled players, and respond to impressive achievements with something along the lines of, "Okay, but can you pass MAX300"? | |||
MAX300 the meme became more popular in Music Game Hell, where the user Remi Guinier would regularly comment "MAX300" regardless of the context of the post. This resulted in multiple offshoot groups related to the worship of MAX300. | |||
In later times, [[EGOISM 440]] emerged as the "rival" of MAX300. | |||

An update in 2014 introduced LEGGENDARIA charts to these songs, similar to the CS-exclusive Black ANOTHER charts. Each song's set of LEGGENDARIA charts had its own entry on the songlist, bearing the title format "''<song name>''†LEGGENDARIA" (or "''<song name>''†" in later games), however since [[AC HEROIC VERSE|HEROIC VERSE]], LEGGENDARIA is its own difficulty, removing the †/†LEGGENDARIA moniker from those charts.

== [[Daisuke]] == | == [[Crack Traxxxx]] == | ||
The opening sample of Crack Traxxxx is "Someone you know is watching your every move... someone who means you harm". The latter half of the sample has been misheard as "someone who memes you hard", and as a result, YouTube comments of videos featuring the song regularly feature said phrase. | |||
== [[Brain Power]] == | |||
Brain Power is an example of a song which originated in BEMANI but most often became a meme when released to other music games, particularly the freeware music game ''osu!''. The iconic vocal samples clicked with players, and comment sections on YouTube and Twitch would spam them, and especially "O-oooooooooo AAAAE-A-A-I-A-U- JO-oooooooooooo AAE-O-A-A-U-U-A- E-eee-ee-eee AAAAE-A-E-I-E-A- JO-ooo-oo-oo-oo EEEEO-A-AAA-AAAA". | |||
Perhaps due to the song's popularity, the contract allowing it to appear in SOUND VOLTEX was removed in order for the artist, NOMA, to have direct control over the song. It has since appeared in ''NEON FM'' and ''CHUNITHM'', both of which pay tribute to the memetic status of the song, among other games. | |||
== [[BEMANI#BEMANI_Sound_Team|BEMANI Sound Team]] == | |||
In late 2017, KONAMI Original tracks started being credited to '''BEMANI Sound Team''' rather than the actual artist. This led to concerns amongst fans that BEMANI composers and arrangers were in some sort of feud with KONAMI higher-ups, not helped by the various scandals that had been plaguing KONAMI since 2015 or so. | |||
[[GERBERA]] is notable for actually being credited to its artist, [[TAG]], at first, before having its credit revised to BEMANI Sound Team. | |||
This led to a flurry of memes on social media, with many fans taking preexisting KONAMI Original songs from BEMANI games and replacing the artist credits with BEMANI Sound Team; as examples, [[Mei|冥]]'s "Amuro & Killer" becomes "BEMANI Sound Team & BEMANI Sound Team" and [[Wow Wow VENUS]] becomes "Wow Wow BEMANI Sound Team". For an extreme example, [[Quilt|キルト]]'s "Des-Sana＋wpt9" becomes "BEMANI Sound Team-BEMANI Sound Team＋BEMANI Sound TeamBEMANI Sound TeamBEMANI Sound TeamBEMANI Sound Team". | |||
It seems like a compromise would later be reached, as new KONAMI Original songs, as well as the ones previously credited to just BEMANI Sound Team are now credited to their respective artists again, albeit in the format of '''BEMANI Sound Team "''artist''"'''. | |||
== Milquetoast 19 == | |||
The term "milquetoast 19" originated in comment from a YouTube video showing [[Jucunda Memoria]]'s Single EXPERT chart from DanceDanceRevolution in August 6th, 2021. [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qlghl7uC4bU] | |||
Due to the patterns being considered to be excessively difficult for a chart rated Level 17, user Baby-Lon described in the comments section that the chart is "either a broken 18 or an [sic] milquetoast 19 at best".
