Pepe the Frog

Pepe the Frog (/ˈpɛp/) is an Internet meme. A green anthropomorphic frog with a humanoid body, Pepe originated in a comic by Matt Furie called Boy's Club.[2] It became an Internet meme when its popularity steadily grew across MyspaceGaia Online and 4chan in 2008. By 2015, it had become one of the most popular memes used on 4chan and Tumblr.[3] Different types of Pepe include "Sad Frog", "Smug Frog", "Angry Pepe", "Feels Frog", and "You will never..." Frog. Since 2014, "Rare Pepes" have been posted on the (sarcastic) "meme market" as if they were trading cards.[4][5][6]
In the 2010s, the character's image was appropriated as a symbol of the alt-right movement.[7] The Anti-Defamation League included Pepe in its hate symbol database in 2016, but said most instances of Pepe were not used in a hate-related context.[8][9] Since then, Pepe's creator has expressed his dismay at Pepe being used as a hate symbol and has sued organisations for doing so.[7]
In 2019, Pepe was used by protesters in the Hong Kong anti-extradition bill protests as a symbol of liberty and resistance.[10] Protesters, especially children and teens see it as a cartoon that “looks funny and captures the hearts of so many youngsters. It is a symbol of youth participation in this movement.” [11]

Origin: Boy's Club

Pepe the Frog was created by American artist and cartoonist Matt Furie in 2005. Its usage as an Internet meme came from his comic Boy's Club #1. The progenitor of Boy's Club was a zine Furie made on Microsoft Paint called Playtime, which included Pepe as a character.[12] He posted his comic in a series of blog posts on Myspace in 2005.[6][13]
In the comic, Pepe is seen urinating with his pants pulled down to his ankles and the catchphrase "feels good man" was his rationale.[14][15] Furie took those posts down when the printed edition was published in 2006.[6

As a meme

Pepe was used in blog posts on Myspace and became an in-joke on Internet forums. In 2008, the page containing Pepe and the catchphrase was scanned and uploaded to 4chan's /b/ board, which has been described as the meme's "permanent home".[6] The meme took off among 4chan users, who adapted Pepe's face and catchphrase to fit different scenarios and emotions, such as melancholy, anger, and surprise.[2] Color was also added; originally a black-and-white line drawing, Pepe became green with brown lips, sometimes in a blue shirt.[13][14] "Feels Guy", or "Wojak", originally an unrelated character typically used to express melancholy, was eventually often paired with Pepe in user-made comics or images.[15]
In 2014, images of Pepe were shared on social media by celebrities such as Katy Perry and Nicki Minaj.[6][14][16] As Pepe became more widespread, 4chan users began referring to particularly creative and unique variants of the meme as "rare Pepes". These images, sometimes as physical paintings,[17][18] were sold on eBay and posted on Craigslist.[2][6] 4chan users referred to those who used the meme outside the website as "normies" (or "normalfags").[6] In 2015, Pepe was #6 on Daily News and Analysis's list of the most important memes and the most retweeted meme on Twitter.[19][20]

Dead meme Storm Area 51

Storm Area 51

"Storm Area 51, They Can't Stop All of Us", commonly referred to as Raid Area 51Storm Area 51, or Area 51 Raid, was an American Facebook event that took place on September 20, 2019, at Area 51, a United States Air Force (USAF) facility within the Nevada Test and Training Range. The event, created by Matty Roberts on June 27, 2019, would involve raiding the site in a search for extraterrestrial life. More than 2 million people responded "going" and 1.5 million "interested" on the event's page, which subsequently attracted widespread media reaction and caused the event to become an Internet meme. Roberts later stated that the event was purely comedic, and disavowed responsibility for any casualties were there any actual attempts to raid the military base.
On the day of the event, only about 150 people were reported to have shown up at the entrance to Area 51, with none succeeding in entering the site. Two music festivals were planned to coincide with the event: Alienstock in Rachel, Nevada and Storm Area 51 Basecamp in Hiko, Nevada. An estimated 1,500 people attended these festivals, according to state and local law enforcement. Air Force spokeswoman Laura McAndrews stated government officials were briefed on the event and discouraged people from attempting to enter military property. Nevada law enforcement also warned potential participants in the event against trespassing. The event had an effect on businesses both locally in Nevada and around the United States, which prepared products for visitors and those attending the event.

Facebook event and Internet meme


Roberts created the event on Facebook on June 27, 2019 as a joke, unaware of the viral attention it would receive.[9][10][11] The event was planned to take place in Amargosa Valley from 3 a.m. to 6 a.m. PDT on September 20, 2019.[12][13][9] The Facebook event wrote, "If we naruto run, we can move faster than their bullets. Lets [sic] see them aliens",[6] referring to the unique running style of anime character Naruto Uzumaki and several other characters, who run with their arms stretched behind them, head down and torso tilted forward.[14][4] Roberts stated the event had only received around 40 responses three days into the event's listing and suddenly and unexpectedly went viral.[12][15]
The resulting meme possibly spread first on the app TikTok, as well as Reddit and later Instagram.[16] The Facebook page for the event was filled with thousands of satirical posts discussing means of breaking into Area 51.[13] The meme's virality caused Roberts was worried that he would receive a visit from the FBI.[8][15] The event received 2 million "going" and another 1.5 million "interested" signatures as of August 22.[17][18][19]
Rapper Lil Nas X released a music video for the Young Thug and Mason Ramsey remix of "Old Town Road" about the planned raid.[20][21][22] Copycat events such as plans to storm a genealogical vault of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints,[23] Loch Ness,[24] and the Bermuda Triangle[25] had also been created. In the Netherlands, a left-wing meme page known as "Memes for the Masses" created "Storm the Education Implementation Office Headquarters" event as a protest to student loans.[26]

Gathering


While the event was intended as comedic, some took it seriously, and traveled to areas surrounding the facility.[32] Beginning on September 19, the day before the planned event date, people were reported to be showing up and camping around Rachel in preparation for the raid.[33]
The Lincoln County Sheriff stated about 1,500 people showed up at the festivals, while over 150 people made the journey over several miles of rough roads to get near the gates to Area 51.[32] While only one person ever crossed the boundary, receiving a warning, six others were arrested for crimes including public urination, alcohol related offences and indecent exposure.[34][35][36]

Music festivals


wo music festivals were announced in the county in response to the event's popularity: Alienstock in Rachel, Nevada and Storm Area 51 Basecamp in Hiko, Nevada.[37][38] Local governments and police feared that even these legal events could be problematic if too many individuals attended.[37]
Event creator Roberts pulled out of Alienstock 10 days before the festival, leaving other organizers and booked entertainers to run the event.[37] Roberts claimed his last minute departure with $70,000-$100,000 in sponsorship money and donations was "due to poor planning" and he instead joined an alien themed party already planned in Las Vegas, although the Little A'Le'Inn owner Connie West continued with the name Alienstock in Rachel, Nevada.[37] Roberts' lawyers sent her a cease and desist regarding use of the name, but West was in possession of all of the "Alienstock" permits and ignored the legal threats.[39][40]
After the raid, Keith Wright, a promoter for the Area 51 Basecamp event, stated the event was a failure.[41] However, Connie West, who organized Alienstock, declared her event a success.[42] The event’s aftermath saw several pending lawsuits surrounding the festival and Robert's call to breach the government facility. [43] Although much less than the estimated 30,000 attendees expected before Roberts' departure and press campaign claiming Alienstock was canceled, the event was thought to have brought the largest influx of people to ever visit Lincoln County, Nevada.[32]
