The “Boys” meme refers to a viral video created by TikTok user @larrayxo in which she sings the chorus of the song “Cash Money” by YoungBoy Never Broke Again while lip syncing and using various filters and effects. The video has since been parodied and remixed numerous times, leading to the creation of the “Boys” meme.
The Boys “Bones” Edits, also known as “Is This Entertaining”, is a series of Instagram memes set to Imagine Dragons’ song “Bones,” in which the title card of the series The Boys is edited over viral video clips and scenes from TV shows, movies, and video games after something dramatic occurs, with the lyric “is this entertaining” playing in the background.
Imagine Dragons’ song “Bones” appears in season three preview for The Boys, which was posted to the Prime Video YouTube channel in March 2022 and received over 5.3 million views in five months. On August 1st, one tick-tocker posted a video using The Boys meme and gained 6.6 Million views in just 3 weeks.
The trend spread over the course of the month, resulting in numerous viral uploads. The meme has been trending because it has been widely shared and discussed on social media platforms such as TikTok, Twitter, and Instagram, where users have created their own versions of the meme and added their own twists and variations. As with many viral memes, the popularity of the “Boys” meme is likely driven by its humor, relatability, and ease of creation, which has made it appealing to a wide range of users.
