| Description: | The inspiration for the artsy 3-letter sites did indeed come largely from klasky's "This is Not a YTMND" series. Please check 'em out - they're way cooler than mine. | ||||||||||

| Well, even if they were cooler, this one is very good... | ||||||
| I don't know why, but some of those sounds w/ pictures scared me quite badly...maybe it is just the 4 AM talking. Anyhow, 4. Mostly because I like the new sync system and you use it well. | ||||||
| Bunny+hat+teh funny = win | ||||||
| RAWR | ||||||
| I tried an abstract art YTMND and it suffered the same fate as the three-letter machinations...I think we're really expecting too much from this crowd :( | ||||||
| You, sir, are absolutely brilliant | ||||||
| 5'd for being boomaga | ||||||
| GUG | ||||||
| That is not a YTMND | ||||||
| What a wonderful story | ||||||
| Magical. | ||||||
| by the way, IMN and BTH is a great way to keep yourself up late at night. I know I saw it when it popped up on the "Last created YTMNDs". I was scared, and was wondering what the hell boomaga was on. | ||||||
| All of them have been wonderful. If you could please give credit to the artists and musicians though, if only to allow me to search for more of their work. | ||||||
| You know, I just thought about it now. Everyone is going to make abstract YTMNDs after this. | ||||||
| And I hope they do, b/c it'll be halirious to read all those "wtf gay" comments when one of them hit the Top 15. XD | ||||||
| Wow, you beat me to it. I wanted to do something similar to this...the "YTMND is for me" deal...and votes? Really, who cares. Thank you for the explanation though...I was quite curious. A YTMND with "meaning"...who woulda thought? | ||||||
| Bgr and UAT remind me of earthbound battle background's and you speak teh truth so 5 for you http://spanishgodzillaaprovesthis.ytmnd.com/. | ||||||
| That was pretty great man, i liked it alot. | ||||||
| i can't believe your feelings were actually hurt | ||||||
| The funny thing, it's all true, Lol | ||||||
| what do you mean by "noise music phase" ? is noise music a genera, and if so, could you name some bands? | ||||||
| So you're upset that artsy stuff isn't taken well at a humor website? | ||||||
| f*ck the naysayers, you just keep on keepin' on mang. Oh, and check out http://wtfwtfwtfwtfwtfwtfwtf.ytmnd.com/ when you get the chance. | ||||||
| an "artist" explaining his "art" | ||||||
| the sound reminds me of secret of mana | ||||||
| -_- @ "5 for teh boomagaz! lolz!!11" | ||||||
| *cackle* He used my downvote comment. But I must ask: You did post your content on what has evolved into a nearly exclusive 'teh funny' oriented site. May I ask what you expected? | ||||||
| lol wtf boomaga.... | ||||||
| I liked NRG the most. Any meaning to the letters? | ||||||
| ^NRY rather | ||||||
| I'll admit, I never voted on any of the 3-letters, namely because I didn't quite know how to re-act. Thanks for explaining yourself, boom. | ||||||
| The only good thing to come out of this fiasco is that maybe people will start rating your sites based more on their content than by the name of their creator. (doubt it) | ||||||
| -_- @ "5 for teh boomagaz! lolz!!11" --------- lol @ using the expression "(emoticon) @" | ||||||
| How dare you try and bring culture to YTMND!!! 5'd. stay classy boo | ||||||
| omglol | ||||||
| Way to make the irate members look like sheep. ;) | ||||||
| boomaga. you are magic. | ||||||
| Holy crap, a bunny! Wearing antlers! Sneezing! Hahahahahahaha! Damn, that's funny. | ||||||
| if they were "just for you" like you say, why care about the rating? | ||||||
| Teh Bunny sneezes! *laugh* By the way, I do appriciate the art. | ||||||
| lolz ur aphex twin arent u | ||||||
| "OMG TEH YTMND IS GHEY" also,ytmnd. | ||||||
| Nice music on that. | ||||||
| HAHAHAHA THAT BUNNY WAS REALLY FUNNY IT MAKE ME FORGET HOW BAD MY LIFE IS | ||||||
| Yup, after re-listening a few times, that track would definitely be on my playlist if there were a copy of it available sans sneezing bunny etc :P | ||||||
| I'm guessing the three-letter titles stand for their subject. FCW could be "Face Catching Wind", NRY could be, oh I dunno, "New Rose Youth"? BTH, maybe, "By the Hand". | ||||||
| told you he was inspired by klasky | ||||||
| People coming in to YTMND hate 'em 'cause the site is thought of as a "fad site". Sites can be made about fads, but... | ||||||
| ...the idea is really (I think) to see what can be done with what max had to work with. Which explains why veterans hate YTMND Flash--the original definitely didn't have that, and it give rise to the synced "F*ggy Short Film". | ||||||
| I like them :( | ||||||
| No explanation necessary. Guess this is a little too cerebral for the ualeuale tards. Kudos. 5'd | ||||||
| excellence | ||||||
| long text introduction = 1 | ||||||
| To quote Agent Ornage: "The public gets what they deserve, not what they demand". | ||||||
| Sorry, dude. I actually liked those artsy sites. Oh well. | ||||||
| I have a lot to say about all this, really, but who cares - I really enjoyed the Comments debates. Please, guys, keep voting based on merit, and not "name-recognition." | ||||||
| i fived all of your three letter ytmnd's. i think they are the best ones youve made. | ||||||
| whoa, hey, i respect the kudos to my series but they aren't mine. Like i try to show, none of the stuff i put together is made by me in any way. To be honest i enjoyed your series based largely on the fact that i was sure YOU made them. | ||||||
| that being said, i am glad that more people are allowing ytmnd to be something broader than just humor. Frankly this medium (picture + text + sound) allows for a wide variety of purpose and i hope that these aren't the last you make. | ||||||
| have the dramatic readings guy read the nasty commments people left you :D | ||||||
| Screw those who think that this stuff sucked. I thought that most of them kicked ass. Although, I do admit, IMF creeped me the f*ck out... | ||||||
| I like the music.The thing was really long but the bunny was worth it. | ||||||
| amazingly abstract... very nice for job | ||||||
| if i was voting on the pieces used, i'd five most of em... but they dont belong anywhere near ytmnd | ||||||
| I like the music. | ||||||
| I applaud you boomaga... | ||||||
| 5d for the ytmnd art movement. F*ck the haters and keep doing your art sh*t. Ive done a few myself these last couple weeks. | ||||||
| I didn't think your 3 letter sites where bad, but I didn't think they where great either. But you do have to be aware of what YTMND is supposed to be, simple light entertainment that internet nerds can laugh at. It can't be too deep or people wont get/lik | ||||||
| Or people wont get/like it. That's just what YTMND is and it's irresponsible to expect it to be something it's not. You can try to change it over time, but you can't just expect it to be whatever you want whenever you want. | ||||||
| Thank god TheMadMonkey knows what YTMND is supposed to be. | ||||||
| ^^lol Aw.Bob. It's same with the music industry - everybody bitches about how boring the new stuff is, but the far-out stuff gets no play cause it makes radio listeners uncomfortable. Yay market-driven creativity. | ||||||
| I LOL'd at teh bunnie. Teh rest suckorzed... lol, just kidding, good stuff. | ||||||
| 5'd because you went ahead and did it, and also I like your music ^_^ | ||||||
| Heh, what I'm trying to say is that you have to try and grow YTMND to the style you want it, you can't just expect it to be that whenever you feel like it. Rock&Roll didn't start with Death Metal. | ||||||
| Nice song. You make IDM/Jungle/Experimental/Whatever the hell you would call this? Good stuff. Where can I get this song without the bunny sneezing?
Oh, and your art YTMNDs are awesome. | ||||||
| You're right MadMonkey. | ||||||
| What, so you only make YTMNDs with the expectation that they'll be well-received? | ||||||
| |||||||
| Great use of sound/music | ||||||
| I completely understand what you mean but please keep making the 3 letter ytmnds. I can honestly relate to them. fgw.ytmnd.com I hope you dont mind, and thank you for the 5 star on mine. | ||||||
| 5, clever indeed | ||||||
| YTMND was started as, and has always been intdended as, a humor site. We come here to relax and have a laugh, not for some artsy bullsh*t, or to feel cultured.
If you've got such a hard-on for the abstract go join or make a site about it. Leave our f | ||||||
| Leave our funny out of this.
f*cking circle-jerkers. | ||||||
| "we" and "our" what ? you just got here, you've made 0 sites and only 11 votes. To quote our founding fathers, STFU n00b. | ||||||
| I loved this ytmnd. Not everything here has to be funny. | ||||||
| I don't think you needed to explain em, but a great job anyway. I liked your abstract sites a lot, but wasn't sure how to comment without sounding either pretentious, or clueless. | ||||||
| My god I commented a lot on that last one... Loved the debate, when it actually started up. Even after I got your explanation. And it's cool that your ultimate point was stop name-voting. | ||||||
| And Cadrid, from what I hear, YTMND was started as a site to direct forum whores at to shut them up. | ||||||
| And wow, it's kind of ironic to comment about how much I commented right after a guy who said he didn't comment because he didn't want to sound pretentious or clueless... | ||||||
| Those ytmnd's are brilliant. Don't listen to popular opinion, they lack vision. If I get to film a movie, I'll want to hire you on for your artistic perspective. That's a fact. | ||||||
| I liked them from the start because they creeped me out. Especially the first one. Anyway, funny is okay, but it's nice to have art once in a while. | ||||||
| :) good stuff :) | ||||||
| True, so godamn true | ||||||
| I'm so glad you made an explanation. Your three-letter sites reminded me of a personality test where you had to pick your favourite abstract. Thanks for reminding me of simpler times when the internet was new and personality tests were still fun. | ||||||
| interesting stuff | ||||||
| bitch... moan...bitch...moan....
Nah this was put together very well, especially the LAME, DIE part where the music hits really hard. Hehe. gj | ||||||
| lol. loved the ending | ||||||
| i always love your sites, minus the 3 letter ones. reality is, this is a comedy web site...you cant get mad at people for giving low votes to web sites that arent funny. none of my sites have high votes, and they arent that funny so they dont deserve it. | ||||||
| Seriously, I never said I got mad, and I never did. I was just embarassed that something got in the Top 15 that wasn't made for the front page | ||||||
| I appreciate and applaud what you've done, and you do make a point, the only problem is, it's on the wrong platform. I feel that the people that downvoted you were justified, as this is a defined comedy site. I don't go up to hip hope fans and discuss the | ||||||
| * latest Dragonforce album. Didn't realise the text cutoff, don't comment much =) | ||||||
| Klasky-style sites FTW. | ||||||
| so... no more abstract ytmnds? -_- | ||||||
| I enjoyed them, personally. As I commented on one, I knew nothing other than that they were an interesting view of the correlation between the visual and the audible. Which really fits with "musique concrète". | ||||||
| and also, why simply a "noise music" phase? why not continue? ... you obviously have some talent. Speaking of which, do you have any .mp3s of your experimental electronica? I'm quite interested. Also, what did you use? Reason? | ||||||
| 4'd because my comment was in there. | ||||||
| very, very cool. | ||||||
| did you write this track? its f*cking awesome.. | ||||||
| LOL @ BUNNYRABBIT | ||||||
| I waaant my two dollars! | ||||||
| somewhat similar to my experiment ( http://theexplanation.ytmnd.com/ ) | ||||||
| That was different in a good way. | ||||||
| uhhhhhhh 5'd for awesome bunny! oh and i kinnda fived all your sites too :) | ||||||
| Keep on deconstructin'. | ||||||
| I have a proposition to work on a ytmnd together boomaga. email me omgwtffbi@gmail.com | ||||||
| aahhahahahahahahaha
boomaga you will always be king
| ||||||
| BUNNY! | ||||||
| win | ||||||
| sweet work boomaga! | ||||||
| I f*cking love boomaga. | ||||||
| Interesting... 5'd for "fl*pping sweet" short film | ||||||
| I actually loved it. I love the music sorta like a less creepy Boards of Canada feel. I guess I could have come up with a more obscure band to compare you to and sounded more pretentious but I'm sleepy. | ||||||
| Interesting. Usually with sites like that, I just let them be and assume I don't get it. Still, those are rather cool. | ||||||
| Excellent experiment! 5'd. | ||||||
| sound made me think of Journeyman Project Turbo. | ||||||
| you are a f*cking genious | ||||||
| i personally liked the three letter sites. they weren't the same old sh*t. they were an attempt at art, and i can appreciate that. | ||||||
| also, art | ||||||
| I was wondering the hell that YTMND was. Cool explaination. | ||||||
| Excluding the ending, the images and sound aren't funny, but they certainly were a joy to watch and hear, so this artsy f*ggot will be upvoting them all. | ||||||
| Downvoting kills 250,000 ytmnd's a year on highways across America | ||||||
| What the f*ck is up Boomaga? | ||||||
| You shouldn't have to explain anything you create on this site to any number of tardpiles that may lurk herein. People create different sites for different reasons. I try to test my ability in different areas such as graphically - how well I can edit/ani | ||||||
| mate photos and such. Some people like to toy with sounds and create their own sounds rather than rip them from a CD or DL them from Limewire. My work may not be as popular | ||||||
| as yours, Syncans, Mastersitsu's or Money-Hat's but I consider it to be rather good. I don't have a "cult following" like you fellas do but it's bringing what I do in my spare time to life that matters to me. | ||||||
| You can see that same quality in people who tend to make well-thought-out or intricate YTMND's rather than this sh*t with guys sucking eachother's dicks. You can really see the line on this site that seperates the men from the boys. | ||||||
| There is no such thing as art | ||||||
| this place needs more art... | ||||||
| Awesome. I really like the part where the music kicks in after you say "Here comes the sh*t-storm." Although I didn't really care for most of the random sites, I really liked "NRY." You deserve this five. | ||||||
| omg i actally laughed, darn you. the rest explains it | ||||||
| awesome! even your other site like imn or whatever were nice, keep up the good work pal | ||||||
| GTFO YTMND AND TAKE YOUR CRAP SITES WITH YOU | ||||||
| interesting to say the least | ||||||
| if you meant the dj pic as a motif, that's awesomebob's image...guess i forgot to credit it but i do credit it in moheevi.ytmnd.com woops. also do it for da children make me proud boomaga | ||||||
| I thought they were all neat. | ||||||
| LOL TEH FUNNY. Hope I didn't downvote your top 15 site, I honestly don't remember if I did or didn't. Too lazy to check...hmm. | ||||||
| Wow, if anyone else would have made this, it would have instantly failed. | ||||||
| this reminds me of autechre. | ||||||
| I actually laughed at the bunny. | ||||||
| teh funny>teh pretentious and artsy any day. | ||||||
| good music, poor explanation of fcw, but 5'd for comments. | ||||||
| You are the artist of ytmnd. | ||||||
| With out any regard for the creator, this is seriously one of the best sites on ytmnd. | ||||||
| Art and YTMND may not have mixed in the past, but you can be the leader of a new army, much stronger than the Dew army. This can be an army of serious artists who realise the potential of YTMND to be a platform for some deep postmodern art! If such an arm | ||||||
| By the time I saw the bunny, I totally forgot it used the flash-pre-loader. So when the sound of the sneeze synched, I laughed hard. I thought the abstacts sucked, but when something crappy leads to a great ending like this it's worth a 5. | ||||||
| LOSE | ||||||
| I disagree with you. People do want the abstract and occasional bit of surrealism in their daily routine because without it we would all still be laughing at Picard | ||||||
| NRY is my favorite..its beautiful. | ||||||
| The set of ytmnds to which this one refers represents some of the only entries that I truly enjoy. | ||||||
| For my taste, this "explanation" site detracts from their value. | ||||||
| one for being a dork | ||||||
| OK, Mr. Boomaga. I've had countless hours of conversations about YTMND.com w/friends and we always discuss the value of artistic expression and positive feedback. This site is all about comments and recognition, and the ability to handle 'NEGATIVE' criticism. When someone H8's ur sh*t, there are manifold ways to react, sometimes it helps you deal with this kind of reaction. And you dont HAVE to pander to the mainstream, but have to be relevant if you can, and | ||||||
| 'teh funny' is a hard thing to do right. This site is not exactly an art gallery, and it wont function as one as long as the CORE audience is biased, and expects a humorous joke for their time. I have learned to work with this structure, and it can help to guide each site thusly. I like your sh*t alot. | ||||||
| hey, speaking of artsy, check out vivaldi.ytmnd.com, it made top 15, and got decent ratings | ||||||
| Thanks, boomaga. I dunno if you'll see this, but all your work here (teh funny, and "teh lose" and everything in between) means a lot to me. Thanks for keeping ytmnd from becoming a sh*thole. I really do appreciate it. | ||||||
| They scared me... O_O; | ||||||
| pretty basic | ||||||
| I lol'd. | ||||||
| BTW, a departure from all the humor is appreciated. (: | ||||||
| I'm glad you realize that a lot of people will hop on your cock when what you're making, created by anyone else, would get flamed to the deepeest recesses of ytmnd-pity. | ||||||
| There's a place for art anywhere. | ||||||
| Good show old chap! | ||||||
| Man, you made that song? Awesome, I wish I could get it without the noise of the 3 letter sites in the background. Good site too. | ||||||
| Fascinating. | ||||||
| i can't believe i've watched all this | ||||||
| I am proud to be of the same species as you. | ||||||
| that was.... Different. | ||||||
| not cool just sh*t | ||||||
| I almost felt bad for laughing there at the end :/ | ||||||
| Personally I've pulled a few funny-for-me-sorta-avant-garde-but-amusing-to-me type things, but nothing purely art. And they've been more rebelious than anything. | ||||||
| I knew that the three-letter sites were just for you. I liked a lot of them, and kept thinking that everyone commenting was in for something funny when you finally decided to explain it. ^_^ Kudos, man. I like it. | ||||||
| I liked the purple swirly eye looking thing the most. And the first one. The first one made me sad, it looked like a sad shadow creature thing.
V. Interesting. I'd like to see more, with less scary sounding music o-O; Or more scary. I don't know, the background noise just struck a bad chord with me this time around.
Also, the bunny was adorable. | ||||||
| I never looked at the sites because I didn't know what the heck the letters meant... Eh. Personally, I don't think art's five-able or one-able. It's... art. You can't really vote on it. | ||||||
| 5 for awesome song and VERY well made site. Though its "teh funny" how most people opposed to the 3-letter sites say this is ONLY a site for "teh funny" when not 10% of YTMND sites are actually funny + original. But in all fairness, mine suck too... | ||||||
| Ah, and: you MUST make that song downloadable. You MUST. Or talk to fyrestorm and put it on the next YTMND soundtrack like with the Dramatic Reading(s) or something. | ||||||
| Meh, I'm gonna 5 ya for effort. Good Stuff Boo. :) | ||||||
| I have 3 letters for you: EMO. However, very impressive music and overall editing - therefore, I must at least give this a 3. | ||||||
| I find you to be a very beautiful person. | ||||||
| all i can say is: that was awsome.period. 5 and good day sir. | ||||||
| I was going to vote 5 but the :P in the end ruined everything for me | ||||||
| front pagers ruin this site and your confidence, I still don't understand the corrolation with the letters to picture but i agree with you | ||||||
| lol now | ||||||
| thats a funnyrabbit | ||||||
| Hm. | ||||||
| http://miasmamiasmalol.ytmnd.com | ||||||
| I understand that YTMND started as a site with a unique sense of humor, but look at the current highest rated YTMND's,(anti-scientology), they're not funny and they have a purpose and a cause. If someone wants to experiment with something new why should it be downvoted? YTMND isn't just humor, it's raw crazy internet, who can say what YTMND is or isn't? | ||||||
| did i laugh at the end? hell yeah. | ||||||
| Interesting! Nice art! but it would've been a smash if you had the images larger with more quality! | ||||||
| Awesome submission. And just sarcastic enough in all the right places. 5 | ||||||
| lol, 5 for bunny rabbit w/ hat!!1 | ||||||
| Classic | ||||||
| Wow that music... where can I get it? I could listen to that for quite some time. | ||||||
| I don't know how I missed all this, I don't really use the front page, I just go on some random trip through ytmnd everytime and usually find the stuff like this. Front page stuff sucks. | ||||||
| I like the sentiment. People should vote for value, not based on name: whether up or downvoting. YTMND is anything you want it to be. | ||||||
| I dig the art man. Keep up the good work, it's about time people moved out of the normalcy of life. Cheers to you mate. | ||||||
| that was the cutest bunny ever....ever. and i was expecting nedm during ur 3 letter site list | ||||||
| You got art in my YTMND!
You got YTMND in my art! | ||||||
| Darkwolf4602 - nedm is 4 letters? wtf? | ||||||
| Five on principle; my own "abstract" site, which is one of my best IMHO, is my lowest rated... lower than the intentionally broken one I made as a joke to see if I could force the abstract one to NOT be my lowest ranked. I may as well support someone else's more successful effort in the same vein. | ||||||
| ^_^ | ||||||
| You're quite the artist. | ||||||
| wow that was kick ass | ||||||
| Never mistake lack of talent for genius | ||||||
| |||||||
| "Never mistake lack of talent for genius" ... um. This really doesn't make any sense. Why would anyone mistake lack of talent for genius ? Don't try to be clever, boy - just say "U LOSE GOOD DAY SIR" or whatever, downvote, and move on. | ||||||
| 'a f*ggy short film by that dramatic reading guy.' haha. amazing music, especially when it picks up for the insults and downvoting. props to boomaga for pushing ytmnd to the limit! we are artists, at least according to Frank Ahrens | ||||||
| Awesome song.. really enjoyed listening to it. Any way we could download it? | ||||||
| i really liked your three letter sites. Especially NRY. i know how it feels to get downvoted too. i just made a YTMND making fun of myself and moved on, just like you did. its the best way to move on. | ||||||
| my friend here said "a big waste of 10 minutes" however i found it eye-opening and inspiring. Unique is judged by the general populace...which is full of morons. no score, but a *FAV*. (sorry bout my atrocious puncuation) | ||||||
| 5 for the bunny. | ||||||
| ;D | ||||||
| that was the most adorable bunny. Made me seriously consider 5ing. | ||||||
| Oh my god, you keep amazing me Boomaga. I have a new idol! | ||||||
| 5'd for being boomaga | ||||||
| You sir, are an intellectual. That's good in this community and I award any efforts to push the limits of what a YTMND can be. | ||||||
| man weve got some genius going down here. | ||||||
| teh art! | ||||||
| You're absolutely right. Tards only come to YTMND for "FUNNEH" stuff. They have no taste in art whatsoever. I liked all those abstract sites you made. | ||||||
| My vote is not necessarily on the actual quality of the site, but the idea for which it stands for. This is a sad yet true explanation of the mindset of YTMND, as well as quickly becoming the mindset of our culture in general; Instant Gratification is the name of the game, and forcing a user to think for longer than 5-10 seconds about a piece of work is simply absurd. Gone are the days where we were forced to actually use our imagination to interpret a meaning. Silly you for making them think. :D | ||||||
| ;_; I love you. | ||||||
| I liked it man... | ||||||
| Hey, a sneezing bunny isn't funny, but whatever. | ||||||
| err | ||||||
| ERR | ||||||
| Very good point, and very good music--which I'm sure helped this site survive and reach more users. Nothing wrong with a spoonfull of sugar to help the medicine go down. | ||||||
| Interesting stuff. | ||||||
