In MyMemeCards, the meme card game, “Ça va être genre historique” is a legendary card of the Memes FR pack, number 2827 of the collection, and the 753rd best-known meme of its 3498 cards. Here is what the meme means, where it comes from, and how to get its card.

What does the “Ça va être genre historique” meme mean?

The line expresses over-the-top excitement: something will be memorable and you ought to know it in advance. The word “genre” adds a casual, almost teenage tone that clashes with the heavy word “historique”. Used ironically, it announces a meal, a game with friends or a simple meeting as if it were a feat. It works because it mixes the grandeur of rap battles with very spoken, spontaneous speech. It says: get ready, this will matter.

Where does the “Ça va être genre historique” meme come from?

The phrase is credited to Dony S, a French rapper known in the world of Rap Contenders, the French-language rap battle competition. He appeared in several editions, including against Wojtek in edition 4 and RES in edition 8. In that scene he is known for the way he hypes clashes, with this enthusiastic line becoming his trademark; it comes back in his reactions to the line-ups of later editions. Fans clipped it into a YouTube video named after the phrase and described as Dony S’s famous line. The expression then left rap to exaggerate any announcement.
