At approximately 9 a.m. (ET), Know Your Meme’s main tubular network systems were suddenly brought offline and as a result, the database is currently only capable of processing memes that were validated in time before the Internet as we know it, in time before the Internet meme was a thing. Click through for more details.
As some of you may remember, last year we held the very first annual Memeys Awards honoring the best of internet music. This year, we’d like your nominations for YouTubers and internet musicians that deserve to be honored with this most prestigious award. Head on over to our forum thread to nominate your faves!
(PS: I know we’ve been dead but I promise we are coming back. Bigger, better, more awesome. XO!)

blacksquid asked: You met grumpy cat, I am jealous! I've been wondering, does she meow? You can never judge a cats voice by its face. Did she meow for you guys?
She didn’t meow when she was here, but she did purr! There’s a video of her meowing right here if you’re curious :)
We just met Grumpy Cat!!!!!!!!!!!
If you’ve ever wondered what KYM is like behind the scenes (or just wondered what we do all day), a profile about us is up on the Daily Dot. Thanks for hanging out, Kevin!

2/3 of the KYM content team are still trying to figure out costumes. All suggestions are welcome.
This is your last warning: HallowMEME is tomorrow!
Get there early — the first 200 guests get free drinks courtesy of Tumblr and more face time with the costume contest judges. The panel includes noted internet experts from Tumblr, Giant Media, Late Night With Jimmy Fallon and is hosted by Daily Grace’s Grace Helbig, who has a few internet costume ideas of her own.
You better bring your costume A-game in order to win awesome prizes from the likes of 20x200 (Art!), The Bell House (Music! Culture!), The Royal Palms Shuffleboard Parlor (Shuffleboard!), Busted Tees (T-shirts!), Books! by Cole Stryker, and more.
That’s not all — this year’s HallowMEME features a Gangnam Style dance-off, so practice your PSY moves (if latter-day Britney can learn the steps, so can you) so you can win swag and prizes from the kings & queens of dance, Harmonix’s Dance Central 3 (it’s out in stores now and totally awesome)!
