About

I Say Into the Mic refers to a snowclone popular on Twitter in which a person walks up to a microphone and says an opinion causing the crowd to boo. The crowd are then silenced by an famous person and authority figure on the subject who agrees with the person being booed.

Origin

On December 18th, 2017, Twitter user @hisnameiscarter[1] tweeted first example, gaining over 2,200 retweets and 9,200 likes. In the tweet, he stated "Lorde is better than those shitty Beatles," to which the crowd boos, only to be silenced by Whitney Houston.

There in the 3rd row stands: Whitney Houston 5:03 PM-18 Dec 2017

Spread

The snowclone would be tweaked by different users several times over the following day, and usually focused on musical artists. The meme reached its widest audience yet when on December 19th, Twitter user @fastjellyfish[2] tweeted the scenario with boy band Big Time Rush, gaining over 34,000 retweets and 119,000 likes (shown below, left). The popularity of that tweet contributed to the format moving away from music. A popular non-musical example of the tweet posted by loserichie[3] gained over 30,000 retweets and 83,000 likes (shown below, right).
