In MyMemeCards, the meme card game, “NormalBoots / Hidden Block” is a common card of the Memes World series 76, number 22579 of the collection, and the 75th best-known meme of its 298 cards. Here is what the meme means, where it comes from, and how to get its card.

What does the “NormalBoots / Hidden Block” meme mean?

The name points to two closely linked collectives of gaming YouTubers. People mention them to evoke an era of YouTube when creators banded into networks, shared audiences and appeared in each other's videos. It is used as shorthand for that community of reviews, retrospectives and game series, especially active between about 2010 and 2017, and for the web of friendships and collaborations behind it, which many fans still remember fondly.

Where does the “NormalBoots / Hidden Block” meme come from?

According to Know Your Meme, NormalBoots started in 2010 as a platform where ScrewAttack, PeanutButterGamer and JonTron could publish videos and share ad revenue. Further channels joined in 2011 and 2012, including Continue? and That One Video Gamer, before the collective was temporarily dissolved in November 2012. It relaunched on January 25, 2014, when ProJared and Satchbag's Goods entered through a contest. Hidden Block was founded in 2013 by Shane Gill of Did You Know Gaming? and counts Brutalmoose, Caddicarus and SpaceHamster among its members. The group affiliated with the NormalBoots network shortly after the 2014 relaunch. On May 17, 2017, NormalBoots announced that members were drifting apart, launched an official channel and saw JonTron step away.
