The 'You're Now Listening To' meme originates from the hyper-masculine, aggressive imaging of FM rock and hip-hop radio stations from the late 90s and early 2000s. Known for deep-voiced announcers and explosive sound effects, these tags were parodied by internet users to highlight the absurdity of 'shock jock' culture. The meme usually involves a character looking either extremely distressed or intensely focused while a fictional, often ridiculous station name like '102.7 THE BLAZE' or '99.9 THE BONE' is displayed. It is widely used on social media to accompany high-tempo music or to mock specific subcultures by imagining what their personal radio station would sound like.
