As of April 26th, 2011, Slipknot's "Psychosocial" music video page on YouTube has over 111,000 comments, with tens of thousands reading "NYANNYANYANYANYANYANYANYANYANYANYANYANYA" (example below, right). XDaZJMx's instruction quickly gained hundreds of likes, was featured as the highest comment, and many users began flooding the Psychosocial video’s comments with Nyans. The comment instructed other YouTubers to play the Nyan Cat video and hardcore rock band Slipknot's "Psychosocial" music video simultaneously in sync, which virtually resulted in a Nyan Cat audio dub (mirror below, left). YouTuber xDaZJMx commented on the original Nyan cat video by saraj00n telling viewers to watch Slipknot’s Psychosocial (muted) with the Nyan cat song playing in the background. Nyan Cat has been also briefly seen on Sprint's Nexus 4G "Cats" commercial, which featured a number of popular cat video clips. There are several remixes and spinoff variations of the original video circulating on YouTube, many of them customized with alternative characters and background music. On April 12th, the Tosh.0 blog posted the Nyan Cat video, as did CollegeHumor and G4TV. On April 10th, the Nyan Cat video was picked up by popular blogs and social networking sites, including Memebase, BuzzFeed, Tumblr, and Facebook among others.

The video (shown below) gained more than one million views in its first two weeks. On April 5th, 2011, YouTuber saraj00n posted a video titled "Nyan Cat", using comic artist prguitarman's Pop-Tart Cat animation set to the well-known Japanese Vocaloid song Nyanyanyanyanyanyanya by Japanese artist Daniwell-P looping in the background, Although the song had been originally composed for Hatsune Miku to sing, The version used in the video was of the cover sung by the Utauloid Momo Momone. The GIF animation was also reblogged via Tumblr on April 2nd, 2011, accumulating more than 3,000 notes (likes & reblogs) in its first two weeks: Prior to the Pop-Tart Cat, prguitarman had already gained a relatively large audience with a few other instances of comics circulating on the web. The original drawing was based on his own Russian Blue cat, Marty, and was drawn after receiving two separate suggestions for a cat and a pop tart during a Red Cross charity drawing event on Livestream. Also note that while the odd discussion post about novelty clones is allowed, posting generic gameplay of games that aren't Beat Saber is not.The Pop-Tart Cat animation was posted on the daily comics site LOL-COMICS run by illustrator Chris Torres, also known as prguitarman, on April 2nd, 2011.

Clones are allowed if they have some novelty value, usually homebrew stuff, like the Minecraft Beat Saber mod, for example. There are just too many for them to be posted regularly.

Mobile clones and cheap knockoffs are off-topicīeat Saber is mega popular and therefore has about a billion clones. Self-promoting your own music (unless it's an honest request) doesn't belong anywhere since this is a video game community. Map requests should be made on r/beatsabersongs or the song-requests channel on the Modding Discord. This only applies to scoreposts - general video posts on Beat Saber content are fine. Low effort images of scores (such as with cameras/non-screenshots) are explicitly not allowed, and if you are unsure about whether it belongs in the megathread or not, then it usually belongs in the megathread. Scoreposts of low entertainment or interest value should be put in the weekly thread If an article has a clickbait title but you still want to post it, do your best to rephrase the title for reddit. Users should not have to click a post to find out what it's about. The title of a post should describe it's content. Links just to a channel or live stream are not allowed. "It's perfectly fine to be a redditor with a Youtube channel, it's not okay to be a Youtube channel with a reddit account." Posting videos/clips relevant to the game is ok if you aren't spamming them. No inciting drama, brigading, personal attacks, baiting, trolling, etc.
