Behind the viral sensation: What made the clip so popular
In 2017, when Kendrick Lamar's HUMBLE was taking over the radio, the video initially became viral. The girl in the video, who is still not well known, recorded herself lip-syncing the song while in the car. However, when she started mimicking Ariana Grande's distinctive accent, the performance took a humorous turn. People were immediately drawn to her impassioned delivery of Lamar's lyrics and her exaggerated imitation of Grande's speaking style.
The meme quickly became a mainstay of internet jokes, especially among hip-hop and pop music lovers who couldn't get enough of her mix of wit and sass. The video's early popularity faded over time, like many online sensations, yet it didn't go away. The video has made so many reappearances throughout the years, each time ever-repeating waves of nostalgia and new perspectives, thanks to meme culture and Twitter users' frequent references and hit tweets about it.
This clip is ever relevant for its unique fusion of pop culture satire and simple enjoyment in the age of rapid-fire online humor. It's a humorous reminder of how the internet can bring fans together over something as basic as an automobile performance, regardless of whether you were present for its first viral moment or are only now learning about it.
