Hotline Bling was released by Drake in 2015, and its music video, directed by Director X, became famous for the rapper's now-legendary dance moves against coloured backdrops. Within days, stills from the video — Drake holding his palm out to reject something, then smiling and pointing to approve it — were turned into the Drakeposting meme format on Tumblr and Twitter. The format became one of the most enduring reaction templates on the internet, and its music is still used as shorthand for approval or disapproval in edits today.
