Montage Parodies emerged in the early 2010s as a satirical take on the hyper-edited 'Frag Movies' and competitive gaming montages popular in the Call of Duty community. These videos were characterized by an overwhelming sensory assault of flashing colors, dubstep music, and a specific set of recurring icons like Doritos, Mountain Dew, the Illuminati triangle, and hitmarkers. What began as a parody of self-serious gamers evolved into a massive internet subculture on YouTube and Reddit's /r/montageparodies, defining the 'MLG' aesthetic. While the trend peaked around 2014, its influence persists in modern meme editing styles, representing a chaotic era of post-ironic digital humor where more was always better.
