I love looking back at the class of 76. We were so happy back then, weren't we?
I remember you! You are this... person who... was in the school!
Mount Golgotha is shaking again
I was twenty years not born 😂 so yeah I was pretty happy.
@@crakkbone I was -15 years old on the different continent :)
I'll never forget our trip to the lake. I need to go visit it soon.
Connected to the Class of 76 canon, you say?
This is where the -fun- tragedy begins
As it should be, my Glorious Overlord
You weren't wrong, Fragment. It sure shattered the heart... but at least the tale didn't fully destroy.
Best lore in the whole kaboodle.
The Syncope Symphony stuff is unironically something that freaked me the fuck out.
Obviously I love getting that feeling from media.
The shit going on in the gym and whatever entity or collection of entities doesn't come forth in anymore than a tiny vague bit of motive to acting out what is ultimately a catastrophic end of reality/destruction of reality scenario where 2+2 no longer equals 4.
Did something really heinous happen to these students?
The 76 scps are a excellent depiction of the danger of nostalgia, from ignoring the issues of the time to forcing the memory to be real and rwalising far too late that everyone rembers it differently.
I view them as a vicious and cruel deconstruction of people’s past. While the atmosphere and literal reading of them are enjoyable, thinking about their meta meaning betrays the writer’s opinion: the past must be soiled and debased so that the present and future seem like better times than they are. The joy and sense togetherness of communities in times past never existed, see I wrote this fictional story to deconstruct them and skew your perceptions of them.
@paganofthenorth448
Why not both?
Nostalgia is a deeply personal experience and seeing it from the outside can make people view things in a much more negative light making it out to be worse.
Basically: there were people with happy memories playing with their siblings while their parents kept their front door locked due to a serial killer in the area. Both nostalgia and anti-nostalgia exist in the same moment. Trying to make a personality judgment on a writer is a failure of critique.
@@paganofthenorth448 SCP is a subjective world, bro or are you tripping on your own fumes trying to sound deep? Stop huffing manure for that methane natural gas high. Read more, broaden your horizons then go outside and touch some grass kid.
I believe the man/men in suits with unrecognizable faces are SCP agents that survived the apocalypse and the SCP 2000 transition.
Syncope Symphony
SynCoPe symphony
SCP!!!
Alto Clef may be one of them in this canon!
The Mantauk House SCP presented Clef as a reality-bender that can imprint his memories in physical space, he is someone who always changes his facial appearance when being documented, and his name is the only connection that ties him to music.
After all, someone needed to activate SCP 2000.
But hey, it's just a theory.
It would SEEM that the men in suits and Syncope are different groups, Syncope does instruments, not yearbooks, Also Syncope's goals seem seem to to contradict the foundation as if 2000 was used, things were dire and Foundation members of anyone would understand the necessity, also for all their bureaucracy Foundation arent really ever associated associated with the classic suit and tie, I'm sure they logically would but hardly anyone outside of the O5s are typically depicted as such. With how specifically the suits are called out i would think it was significant context to who they wind up being. Suits are typically associated with Gmen, or business men. This tale seems to rule out US gov as the instigator, since they were investigating, sooooo MCD? But it doesnt match their motive so who knows. I hope we someday get a conclusion.
….a game theory
I like the Clef idea lol, puts a nice little spin on things
The summer of 69 ❌
The Class of 76 ✅
Next should be the Summer of Love. The Eureka Seven kind.
Something tells me the Class of 76 was not quite as fun
@@aliveandwellinisrael2507it was so much fun! Especially the trip to the lake. Don’t you remember?
What about the bite of 87?
@@roeberdt-bT.1021 that was a tragedy, when "he" committed "his" "acts".
I don't know how popular this opinion is, but I'm really enjoying the more traditional scp in this. I enjoy it more than faerie tales and O5 council soap operas.
Class of 76 videos are my favorite little collection of what feels like classic SCP
Ah class of 76… it’s gonna get ugly isn’t it?
no it's not, look how happy we were.
The Class of 76 SCPs all creep me out. I love it.
So I work for a package handling company and occasionally packages break open, spilling their contents. One such incident was a box containing a large number of old family photographs. One of which, I shit you not, was a highschool student holding a trumpet with "Class of '76" written on the back in cursive. My heart DROPPED.
Your first video on the class of '76 way back when was what got me into SCP in the first place. I always love new installmenfs
I always find the class of 76 as a group and concept to be really emotionally effecting. It makes me feel scared and sad in a way I have a hard time explaining. I think it’s probably because nostalgia and memories and youth as a concept have a lot of personal connection to me specifically. And the class of 76 take all those ideas and twists them into something malignant and melancholy both.
Either way I still enjoy hearing about them. Art is supposed to invoke strong feelings.

Say no more 😌
yep! Always know you're in for a ride when you see that.
I see my man kaktus and I know I'm in for a good time
omg the slow transition from the in tact high school to the burnt up high school was brilliant! SO CREEPY
You can't escape the reverse Isekai scp forever Mangg.
Which scp is that?
What
Isekai should be a genre of anime involving reincarnation. Not sure about the rest
@@Damascusdalek SCP-8404
8457 is such a great story
That quote feels so unsettling, and it gives me shivers every time: "We've had a great year, haven't we? Don't worry about waiting for the reunion; I'm sure we'll see each other soon enough. Lots of love, from all your best friends. ♥️"
😱
I feel like this is Kaktus remixing “A Thing A Quiet Madness Made.”
_hello_
The Class of '76 canon is one WTF moment after the other.
*I want to understand*
Oh. Now's another djkaktus tale, and the return of the soundfont too.
Even with the high strangeness, human nature is still as natural, what with the police cover-ups, regretful kids offing themselves after doing great wrongs, PTSD (for memories can hurt), and the blissful pain of nostalgia.
15:12: Not them. Not that organization again!!!
15:51: I wonder who R+J are.
33:02: Cheeky bastards, they have reality warping chrono warfare capabilities.
34:54: What SCP was this, if it is one?
Neat evolving (devolving?) picture used here. The times, they have a'changed.
The sooner Syncope Symphony does at least one trivial seeming yet irreversibly crippling mess-up, the better it is that their Pied Piper of Hamelin schemes shall be stoppered soon. *Permanently.*
"House that hates" could be Montauk House, I think that was DJKaktus. Could be quite a few, actually
The hate scp is 2740, the same exact line about it hating your back is at the end of the article
“There's only so much that hate can build up in a place before it starts hating you back”
@@ThatGuy-to7vk so is it saying 2740 is connected to the Class of 76 Canon, or no? I was half asleep listening to it lol
@@j.m9136i don’t think so, i believe the narrator brings it up to just draw a parallel. Also 2740 article doesn’t have the class of 76 tag, so probably not
@@ThatGuy-to7vk I saw that, I just figured that skip predated the tag, but I guess not
Such good times in the class of 76. Remember when Emily pranked Cate with the spider?
haha, i remember that! we were all so happy back then, weren't we?
Hey Mangg not sure if you will read this, but if you do i just wanted to say that you should stick to SCP, but dont stop exploring and making videos on other things. Your style of presentation and narrating is excellent, congrats on a Mil when you reach it. Love you Mangg
Edit: the only channel i leave likes on!
I wouldn't say he'd have to stick to SCPs, but they're definitely the main reason I'm coming to this channel.
This feel like an X-files episode, I could hear Mulder voice reading that report at the end just like in the end of episode.
My best working theory so far about the nature of this event is that it is the unfortunate convergence of several SCPs:
In the previous iteration of the world, before the use of SCP 2000, Carolyn Kirk was a fledgling reality bender. The men in black who delivered a modified version of the yearbook to her house were actually the previous iteration of the Foundation, and the book was actually the original version before Carolyn had made changes. The Foundation was the first organization I thought of when considering who would have the ability and will to retroactively remove a person from history for being a nuisance to them. They wanted to see Carolyn's reaction to the changed book and perhaps catch her in the act of using her powers. She was at the school that night comparing it to other copies and trying to figure out why it was different, why it had not changed like the others. She ran back into the building and the fire spread. In her dying moments, as she burned, an uncontrollable burst of reality-bending power affected the book, the school, and the entire senior class. She vented power with her death rattle at basically everything she had spent that evening studying and scrutinizing.
Syncopy Symphony is an SCP that tries to bring back forgotten memories. An apocalypse forced the world to be reset, and before all that, a reality bender had remade the world around her high school an unknown number of times. The Foundation drugged up all the residents to rewrite their memories before erasing the town completely. There are layers upon layers. Adding Syncopy Symphony to that is like throwing a match on a tangled pile of kindling.
The problem is that it wasn't the Foundation that wiped the town, it was the FBI that did it. Also it's the Foundation that points out that Carolyn Kirk was listed as being dead. If the Foundation did it, they would know. Syncopy Symphony and maybe some other forces are involved, but it seems that the Foundation was a late comer to this and has no real clue what happened. And the Foundation certainly wouldn't go and try to trigger a Type Green. sm
They wouldn't be a THIS Foundation, but an iteration from an earlier world that was replaced by SCP2000 at some point. The school being anomalous allowed a bunch of what are essentially sentient memories to stick around through whatever disaster was happening and now they are desperately trying to find a way to insert themselves into THIS worlds history by making people remember them until they can remanifest physical bodies FROM those shared memories. At least that's how I understand it anyways.
This is the earliest I came to your posting. If I may, I'd like to make a game lore suggestion for one of your videos. Its a games are called Control and Alan Wake. They have heavy SCP vibes and I think it'd be cool for breaking down. Suggesting this since I noticed you doing Final Fantasy and Warhammer. Hope this reaches you, and keep those videos comin
The visual transition of this vid' was subtle and brilliant. Brilliant job mate.
What this person said in this video, made me feel and imagine things never felt by any human before.
I only got 12 minutes in.
i love the class of 76 cannon. we eating good tonight
Man, that was a good year. We were all so young back then.
You are consistently one of my favorite youtubers. Keep it up my friend.
listen to this feels like watching a mystery, thriller, weird af movie.
this is exactly what i love about the SCP universe. Such illogical made illogically logical, it somehow makes sense without making sense. It is beautiful in a way that one can only experience but not explain.
loved the slow change of the school building slowly turning into a ruined building. Great video
I find the everything connected to this absolutely fascinating! Kirk lonwood high school, the class of ‘76, the school band, the yearbook, the photograph, and Syncopy Symphony, all have this vagueness that almost tells a full story. I had to listen to this twice just to see if there was anything else I could discover. Like a detective trying to piece together fragments of something from long lost memories. It seems this school was subject to some sort of experiment from Syncopy Symphony that was a direct result of something the foundation did. There is vague connection to SCP 2000 which an apocalyptic event happened and everything was “reset”. From what I gather someone was left behind and was trying to bring back something that was forgotten. Trying to remember forgotten past and nostalgia is a big part of the whole series. Even vague notions of these “ghosts” blaming the foundation for trying to make things disappear. Why this school and the events that happened in ‘76 is still a complete mystery. Only Syncopy really knows what’s going on and they seem to have vanished almost completely, much like the graduating class
Something about the class of 76 canon gives me such a strange level of terror. I almost dont wana listen to them and I cant put my finger on why. Its not an unsettling feeling, its a real pit of the stomach fear. Great writing.
The class of 76 cannon is so confusing but so interesting
...
And that is one of the reasons it is a good thing we have the thing called the Mobius-strip.
Thanks for the post, always appreciated absolutely.
Ok that year book is haunted by the souls of the students that were supposed to graduate from school but got killed in the school fire.
Can't spell "best" without T-E-S!
bizd
just finished listening to the last video you uploaded, literally like the second this one was uploaded, convienent
Oh I love the new audio bar thing
Thank you TES. Keep up the good work
Honestly out of everything ive indulged in from this wonderful and creative, talented community that is the SCP foundation -
The Syncope shit is the freakiest, and haunting thing in the whole of the foundation files.
The other SCPs that are intertwined with it.
The one that has to do with the gym where youre reading it yourself and the text starts to seemingly change but it starts to become clear its you and your mind that's changing.
Its such a sinister, disturbing thing with inexplicable events that happen such as more miscarriages happening and the percentage of pregnancy ending in miscarriage skyrockets.
The sighting of children floating in the sky torward the center of the phenomenon.
99 percent of the class are in the gym and it comes down to one more being the thing that causes a fatal end of reality scenario which freaks me the fuck out.
All fhat and the reason and the entity doing it doesn't even have a clear motive other that being sinister and wanting to tear everything that exists apart.
Even itself.
Hell yeah Exploring Series, you the goat
Quick Stop- were Jay and Bob there?
15 bucks
Little man
Put that shıł
In my hand
They probably think they were, if they came close enough to these anomalies...
The Class of 76 SCPs are some of my absolute favorite pieces of SCP writing
Here at last! I've been waiting 48 years for this piece.
I been staying up waiting to go to sleep just for this vid to drop so i can listen to it before hand 😤
I know you don’t do requests and you’re already got a full catalogue of things to cover, but I’d love a full reading of “I Have No Mouth And I Must Scream” from you, you’d do a fantastic rendition of the hate monologue
Trying to rip our hearts out, huh?
@@Evelyn-pl3we obviously
Uh ohh, 1976 in the SCP world = funny business.
Mayne is the Maestro.
This was a really good one, one of those canons that feel like they could be a franchise of their own, I could totally see this being adapted into a feature length movie.
SCP-3935 is arguably my favorite of all- DJKaktus knows how to cook
Why has the number 76 taken on such an ominous connotation over the past several years and across multiple forms of media?
Fallout 76
Because 7 ate 6
7+6 = 13.
@@michaelandreipalon359 I feel like this might be a likely answer for some lol
Could be worth memtioning that 1976 is a multiple of 13 as well
i was in a horrible mood thank you for posting 🙏
that diary functions like a more advanced version of Tom Riddles diary from Harry Potter
The return of the audio wave!
Welcome back audio wave(:
Always enjoy djkaktus SCP's. Is a solid writer.
Oh this is a gooooood one
Its always a wild time when the symphony is involved
Tomorrow is free fishing day in Mississippi! Can’t wait to go to the lake! It’s been a long time, and I just can’t remember if I recognized the faces in the water
SO CLOSE TO 1 MIL BABY!
Have you ever thought of making a video based on the "Eric" POI? Surprisingly Eric as a concept actually has a pretty big sum of stories surrounding him apart from SCP-066 and SCP-683. Im not sure if it's enough for an entire video to be dedicated to it of course.
I have to say, this is the first Class of 76 article to really compel me. I enjoyed them just fine, but this one really makes me want to know more about what happened and the mysterious men in suits.
New SCP Exploring Series drops: I have another reason to smile
This hit me in the feels. Another great SCP delivered. Thank you TES! Great work, as always! ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜

I love the class of 76 they are always so creepy
Thanks for the video
I love the class of '76 setting, so creepy
I always love the class of 76' stories
this question may have already been addressed, but where is your video on SCP 5999 "This is Where i Died'? Its absolutely one of my favorites and i couldn't find it yesterday when i searched for it
Would it be possible for you to upload these to the podcast section on UA-cam too? Would love to listen to these with a sleep timer.
Man I love me some class of 76 SCP to start the day
That one was wild...
Still one of the most haunting arcs of SCPs imho
That was a great reading, wasn’t it?
No need to wait, we will soon hear again of the Class of 76.
The lake and the yearbook represents nostalgia. music bringing back something lost. The corporation, especially in the context of a small town, represents the end of that. Time thats ground into a blur of clock in & clock out, only leaving what is.
It might be saving us but not without cost, and likely a terrible benefits package.
Always love the class of 76 stuff
A bunch of very interesting tidbits and connections to other djkaktus SCPs (including other '76 anomalies) that I've noted:
-The MIB have certainly gotten to the police chief, as he continually denies and incessantly repeats what almost sounds like a pre-made script; it's also possible that his mind was altered in some way, due to his confusion. It's implied that one of the MIB are actually inside the interrogation room, unseen to all but the chief to make sure he stays obedient.
-The MIB also used Cotter, likely using his scheme as a cover for their fire-based plans. They then confronted Cotter to cover their tracks, most likely threatening his family; Cotter agreed to protect his parents as well as out of guilt (though it's not certain if his dreams are his from his conscience or something made by the MIB). The MIB then set fire to the cabin; Cotter couldn't have done this without his lighter, which was left in the field during the school fire (the cigarettes were likely lit and left by the agent to make it seem Cotter had a means of starting the fire).
-The book itself contains the living memories of the high school (though it's not certain if it is Carolyn' work alone and/or the work of the MIB, though it's likely the latter). The visions they impart consists of both flames and water, representing the deaths by fire and drowning at the lake, all trapped due to the MIB; the scarred girl is possibly Carolyn herself. Delving into the memories, the D-Class probably encountered information that required the MIB to silence her by setting her cell alight. The charred figure in the burned photo may be Carolyn herself, though the drawing held is a mystery (the figure probably isn't the D-Class, since the figure is wearing a white dress).
-Pendleton's son Will was clearly a victim of 2316, having been transformed into one of the bodies, though it's not certain how he left the lake (assuming he left at all). Given his father's insistence, it could be that he passed on, though that's an admittedly thin likelihood.
-The memory of two women was altered significantly by the MIB; the cameras are obviously anomalous, as with most to all of the pictures taken by them, resulting in the warping of both reality and memory, though it's left a mystery of what exactly is inside the casket (if Carolyn's body is in there, it's certainly no longer human). One of the women forgot the children either due to the MIB erasing her memory of them in the moment of the interview, or they made it impossible for her to conceptualize the children existing beyond the moment he took that photo.
-As for Carolyn's mother, her history was changed when she revealed a sensitive fact about the MIB that confronted her, hinting that he's not quite human, and if he is, he's not a normal one.
-The MIB seems to mainly kill, kidnap, erase and/or transform people when they discover something that is absolutely vital to the Corporation. The Corporation's MIB possibly possess some powerful and highly-controlled pyrokinetic abilities, with their victims' remains never found due to either being incinerated completely or being somehow disappeared. They changed history to have Carolyn's mother killed, though it's interesting to note that she died after Carolyn was born, since they needed Carolyn alive to carry out their plan for some reason. For that matter, it may even be that the MIB have gotten to even the UIU, as their obviously BS remarks near the end feel suspiciously forced and scripted. If the Corporation actually DID get to the UIU, that would explain why the UIU documentation for the lake was heavily redacted, as not only does it seem to describe what took place, but they even seemed to refer to the Corporation by name. This may have been the work of the two detectives that disappeared.
-There is phenomena described in this article that is similar to others. First of all, there is, of course, the facial distortion. Then, with Will Pendleton, there's the unrecognizable bodies. The two detectives at the end are turned into floating shadows similar to the cheerleaders in 3935, the tragic secret of Salvation High School. A surprising one, however, is the allusion to SCP-2740, the hateful attic, also written by djkaktus. The house is definitely the same one that the detective mentions in his report, and the really stunning part is when you look back at the article after reading this one.
The hatred that built up in the house and centered in the attic was caused by the conflict between the parents and their daughter, Olivia. The parents state that they merely argued; however, Olivia, when interviewed, states that on the night she left, her parents had entered her room in her sleep (implying they were about to attack her) until she backed them off with a knife, something her parents absolutely DID NOT mention. The attic anomaly truly emerged - a side-tale reveals that her parents, while backing off, didn't make eye-contact with her at all, as if they weren't themselves or her parents at all. The house never seemed to let the family leave, as if it were payback for all the hate they made it soak up. I long suspected that 2740 is a history-changing anomaly, making it so that they never tried to leave or investigate. As a stand-alone article, I thought that the anomaly erased Olivia due to breaking the rule of "we don't talk about it", though that changed with this article; considering the similarity, it's completely unknown what the anomaly truly is and what the Corporation has to do with it.
When the Foundation seemingly finds and interviews Olivia, they afterwards discover that she never existed to begin with....just like with Carolyn's mother.
As TES states near the end, it uncertain if the Foundation is better off investigating this tragedy further or letting it fade away, as it seems that the Corporation's Men in Black are still around and are actively stalking, killing and erasing anyone that gets too close to what they are trying to hide.
the tragedy at the school was quite the butterfly effect
We need a seperate playlist of all Class of 76 related SCP videos youve done 😎
Last time i was this early it was a reality bending hallway.
Can you make a class of 76 playlist? I think it’d be nice to have this canon in one place
"Dale Briggs"? Maybe its just coincidence but might be a twin peaks inspiration.
Man I swear The Class of 76' has Pattern screamer written all over it.
It is a rare thing, but always brings a smile to my face when you upload. I really appreciate it Mangg, you're honestly the best. Hope you're doing well on your side of the screen, and I wish the same for anyone who reads this comment
I should be asleep… I guess I’ll play this as I slumber
Sweet dreams
Men in Black vs SCP-2000? We gotta expand on that!
Every time I encounter a 76' SCP I always make the mistake by thinking I know what I'm getting into...
Oh shit, did the man in the suit erase her mother’s existence?
My mom graduated in 1976 for real not trying to play into the scp. Makes this a bit creepy, lol. Also these types of scps will always be better than the giant metaphysical entity that is coming to destroy earth. In my opinion anyway. I just prefer the smaller scale ones.
Woah woah woah when did we find out the goal of syncope symphony?? I must have missed that
It's in another SCP. It basically reveals that Syncope is a bunch of kids who became reality benders in an alternate universe that was destroyed by SCP-2000.
Since the SCP Foundation erased them from existence, they create anomalies at high schools (since it's what they're familiar with).
@@oliviaweeks do you know which one?
WE'RE GETTING BACK TO 1976 WITH THIS ONE!
You know it's bad when even the SCP foundation can't figure it out
isn't that most SCPs? how many get the -EX? :P
I find Class of 76 as one of the most terrifing and misterious narrative in the SCP so far. It is not XK-class scenario however there is nothing Foundation could do exept containing, there is active mallicous intent behind it with time and space capabilities, no explanation and confusing. Only other SCP that gave such creeps are the glasses of 178 and still there are only as dangerous as much you are poking it. And also two most prollific explanation of Syncopy Synfony GI and bunch of post SCP-2000 children ghosts are somewhat excluding themselves.
Class of 76 addition I’m so hyped
oh boy! it’s 1am!
Idk what this whole creepy pasts video is about but i recognize the bodies in the water, and im sure you do too.
Grim "their lives were had... I'm happy I took them home" 😢❤
Another long one? YESSS, LET'S GOOO!
Yeah couldn’t sleep my gut told me to go to UA-cam and was given a great video
Love me some Class of 76 articles.
I see 76 in the exploring series, I don’t put it off. No time like the past, as they say
Strong "Stir Of Echoes" vibes
