What does the “September (Earth, Wind & Fire)” meme mean?
Dropping “September” serves up an instant shot of good mood. The song evokes nostalgia, partying and carefree days, and it bends easily into any gag: a montage that spirals out of control, a character dancing, a joke on the 21st of September. People use it to underline a joyful moment, to back an absurd video, or to celebrate the date itself. It is also a handshake between funk fans and remix lovers.
Where does the “September (Earth, Wind & Fire)” meme come from?
“September” is a funk and R&B track by Earth, Wind & Fire, released as a single on November 18, 1978 and on the compilation The Best of Earth, Wind & Fire, Vol. 1, later certified Gold in the US. Its official video went up on YouTube on January 11, 2013. “Kenny’s Hat”, from January 24, 2014, is among the earliest known comedic uses. On September 29, 2014, an animated skeleton dancing to the song took off on Tumblr. In May 2018, a mashup with Childish Gambino’s “This Is America” passed 5 million views. A recorder cover from September 21, 2016 also spread widely before becoming a TikTok sound. From 2016 to 2018, comedian Demi Adejuyigbe posted dance videos to remixes of the song every September 21, and in 2018 he ran a charity drive for three American organizations.
