In MyMemeCards, the meme card game, “Kohle, Kohle, Kohle” is an epic card of the German Memes pack, number 166 of the collection, and the 13th best-known meme of its 300 cards. Here is what the meme means, where it comes from, and how to get its card.

What does the “Kohle, Kohle, Kohle” meme mean?

The meme gets used to celebrate, with exaggerated enthusiasm, the act of piling up resources, wealth, or loot, especially in video games about mining or collecting materials. Repeating "Kohle, Kohle, Kohle" expresses loud joy over a win, often with a nod to German Let's Play culture and the musical scene that grew out of it. It is a festive way to celebrate a real or fictional payoff.

Where does the “Kohle, Kohle, Kohle” meme come from?

"Kohle Metal" is a heavily produced song performed by the creator or group Rahmschnitzel, featuring Gronkh, a German web video producer, gaming journalist, developer, voice actor, streamer, and entrepreneur widely followed in the German-speaking Let's Play community. The song won a jury prize in the Let's Play category at the Webvideopreis Deutschland, a German award ceremony recognizing the best internet video productions. Its repeated chorus, "Kohle, Kohle, Kohle", plays on the double meaning of the German word "Kohle" (coal, but also slang for money), and it stuck with viewers, staying associated with the Let's Play culture around mining and survival games.
