    I come back to your siivagunner video because it's such a well put together video on a thing I like. I just saw at the end that it had a card for a video about Neil Cicierega. Of course I click through because Neil is a cultural juggernaut, pretty neat to see a video incarnation of that realization that happens in the comment section of almost any one of his works.

    Neil is my role model. I've always wanted to learn how to do everything, I draw, I paint, Im kind of teaching myself how to make music, I tried animation for a while, this summer im going to start selling my art, I sew, and I want to start a youtube channel. It's fucking awesome that he makes a living off that, just doing different stuff online. I really hope I can do something similar - persue different creative endevors forever - for a living.
    He's so cool, and I love him.

    its honestly crazy how so many people have probably had a strikingly similar experience with neil's work, but never learned who was behind it all. hell, even *i* have been able to trace back core memories to something of neil's creation, and i wasn't even around in the early boom of the internet. i didn't start using youtube until around 2012, but even so, there are still multiple occasions i could point out of something in my memories being all because of neil. at one point i called him the backbone of the internet. and i was correct in that statement. i still am.
    one example i can give of something stuck in my memories being around because of neil is one dumb video where soulja boy is saying "i'm so fresh you can suck my nuts" overlayed on top of brodyquest. now, neil didn't make that specific video, no, but he of course DID make brodyquest. brodyquest itself is what stuck in my head for years up until recently getting into lemon demon and finding it again. hell, the only reason i even know that the video i watched was that specific one is because one of my real life friends showed it to me, and i instantly recalled seeing it when i was probably around 11 or 12. it's just such a weird and strange phenomenon how we just all know something that's due to neil's creations. there should really be a name for it.

    I met Neil Cicierega on his Potter Puppet Pals tour, at a library in Indianapolis. Half the crowd was kids, and the other half was in their 20's, like me. We all joined in the goofy songs and laughed and had a great time. Some dude and I in the crowd had a long conversation about weird old videos we saw in the early internet days, like Fishmaster (that Nightwish misheard-lyrics video), and he introduced me to Van Canto (an acapella metal band). In that place there was just such a concentration of love for the weird and the curious and the creative, a love and childlike joy that Neil espouses.
    Neil was a real awkward dude, just like in this video, and when I spoke to him for a second at the merch table, we didn't talk much. I think I asked him about the Neville puppet or something, and I thanked him for such a fun memory in my childhood, and for doing this free concert just for the love of his art.
    I found out later that he did the Ultimate Showdown, one of the most oft-quoted internet things of my friends and I back in middle school. I had the same reaction we all have... "Wait, what? That was him TOO??" It's just such an amazing thing to think about... he was one of the very first pioneers of the weird and wild possibilities of the internet. If this thing ever gets a true hall of fame someday, he deserves to be among the first inductees.

    I've seen a handful of videos of this ilk, talking about how many different popular things Neil Cicierega has made, but I appreciate this video because of how emotionally driven/personal it feels-- this video is clearly a personal narrative first and a documentation of Neil's career second. With the more documentary-style videos, it always bugs me when they only talk about the really popular stuff... Speaking of which, if you're ever scrolling through Neil's youtube channel, I'd recommend checking out some of the videos that don't have a million+ views. One of my favorite Neil products is the web series "new kids on the rock", as well as guaranteed* video, which are made by Neil and two of his friends. Or, like, many of the less popular lemon demon songs are still catchy and worth listening to.... There's a lot of good stuff out there, and I feel like a lot of it gets overlooked

    Quite literally the flash animated potter puppet pals were one of my earliest inklings of the internet. It's bizarre to see not only someone else who has had that exact same experience that I did but multiple people in the comments. It's as though the realization that all of these things trace to one singular creator- one who makes FANTASTIC MUSIC AND SKITS BY THE WAY- struck me as an absolute epiphany. It's like Neil inadvertently raised a lot of us. It's so weird knowing this sort of thing is exactly why everyone suddenly knows who Neil is now

    I had a similar horrific realisation when I got into Deltarune and listened to Spamton playlists for the hell of it. So, yes, this all took place a year ago and I don't have too many early memories of being scarred by Neil's beautiful abominations.
    I kept on noticing, however, that they kept on including songs by "Lemon Demon". No matter who made the play list, it was "Lemon Demon" "Lemon Demon" and I thought I was safe when I read "Neil Cicierega" until someone informed me "no, that's still Lemon Demon".
    So, out of shame and feeling that I needed to prove something, I listened to more of his music.
    No word of a lie, that man has changed the trajectory of my life in little but a year. Before listening to his music, I was a quiet, scared stereotype, and now I'm making an animatic of Aurora Borealis where I'm trying to actually reign myself in for making it too disturbing.
    Tangent aside, I later googled him in similar fashion and it all struck me like a brick. He even wrote the demo for the unused Bill song in Gravity Falls. I've been whistling the little ending diddy in the Draco Malfoy episode of HPPP.
    This man has and always will continue to consume my entire life and I know I am not his only victim.

    The funny thing is I don't think this is even particularly unusual. I actually don't know Potter Pals at all, but there's an incredible through-line of his music for pretty much the entire timeline of popular internet at this stage.

    I saw a ghost-like hallucination that looked like him. But I only got a quick glimpse at his head, and I recognised the head shape and hair. I’m probably gonna think about that a lot.
    Edit: but like, I did kind of see the sitting position, either that he was in a chair or he was kneeling down. I was also listening to his album “Spirit Phone” at the time. And this was only yesterday at around 11:30pm when I was trying to go to sleep. It also wasn’t pitch black,since two lamps were on, so I could see the figure pretty well. I was most likely just sleep deprived since after 20 second of having my eyes closed since they were starting to feel odd I opened them and saw him. What a weird time that was.
    If anyone sees this like a week or so after this comment, here’s the date it happened: 23/6/21(AUS)

    I was a bit older when these came out but still very young so I can relate. But it's also kinda funny thinking about childhood trauma's, my dad grew up during the communist revolution in china n told us all kinds of horrible stories from when he was a kid, and the level of detail forever burned inti his brain is probably something a kid shouldn't hear lol
