My Ordinary Life was released by electronic artist The Living Tombstone in 2017 and built a huge online following through anime edits, fandom videos and streaming platforms. Its confident vocal delivery and driving beat made short sections perfect for looping and remixing. As earrape edits became a staple of meme culture, creators began posting deliberately over amplified versions of popular songs, and this track was an ideal target. The contrast between its polished original sound and the blown out version helped it spread across short form video and soundboards.
