Your Favorite Martian (YFM) is a legendary virtual band created by YouTube pioneer Ray William Johnson in 2011, featuring characters like Puff Puff Humbert, DeeJay, Benatar, and Axel. Known for viral hits like 'Orphan Tears' and 'My Balls,' the project defined early YouTube music culture before going on a decade-long hiatus in 2012. The band’s unexpected return in 2022 sparked a massive wave of nostalgia and new meme formats, ranging from 'Gen 1 vs. Gen 2' character design comparisons to specific lyrical jokes. Today, YFM memes are used to evoke 2010s internet vibes, celebrate the band's comeback, or poke fun at the satirical and often edgy nature of their animated discography.
