Hello all, my final project for my music writing class involves choosing a scene or subgenre and exploring the background and context of its emergence and existence in the culture. I have chosen memed songs as my subject, as I've been engrossed in this subculture for almost a decade and have always found this stuff absolutely fascinating. Specifically, I want to explore the place that music has had in meme culture, from Rick Rolling and All Star to Gangnam Style and We Are Number One and the many, many edits that have been made of them. Does anybody have any recommendations of sources or things to look into in order to learn more about this phenomenon? This is an inherently difficult subject to find solid sources or scholarly writing on, so any help at all would be appreciated. Thanks!
