The '64 Bits, 32 Bits, 16 Bits' meme originated from a viral video by YouTuber The_S_C_R_A_T_C_H, featuring a countdown of video game bit depths that results in an increasingly pixelated and distorted image. The audio, which parodies the style of the Angry Video Game Nerd, became a sensation on TikTok and YouTube as a template for 'de-mastering' characters or objects until they become unrecognizable. It usually follows a progression from high-quality graphics to 'THE WRIST GAME,' representing a complete breakdown in quality or logic. It is most commonly used to mock outdated technology, poor internet connections, or the feeling of one's brain losing focus.
