About

Dark Souls Drip refers to a series of parodies which depict Dark Souls characters in Hypebeast clothing. However, unlike the similar meme Goku Drip, Dark Souls Drip has spawned several YouTube videos that feature hip-hop remixes of Dark Souls boss themes.

Origin

The earliest known post to depict Dark Souls characters in Hypebeast clothing was posted August 5th, 2020 to /r/DarkSouls^[1] by user Jukenos, though the post gained only 6 points (shown below).

It was not until late December 2020 that hip-hop of remixes of Dark Souls boss themes began appearing on YouTube, becoming the most popular form of the meme.
