In MyMemeCards, the meme card game, “Trend Napoléon” is a rare card of the Memes FR pack, number 5291 of the collection, and the 753rd best-known meme of its 3502 cards. Here is what the meme means, where it comes from, and how to get its card.

What does the “Trend Napoléon” meme mean?

The trend jumps from a monument of history to a sentimental pop song. The contrast is the joke: the emperor of the French, a military leader, looks like a lovestruck dreamer lost in somebody’s eyes. The edits are slowed down with heavy reverb, which pushes the mood toward melodrama and daydreaming.

Where does the “Trend Napoléon” meme come from?

Amour plastique is a song by the electro-pop duo Videoclub, formed in Nantes by Adèle Castillon and Matthieu Reynaud. Its music video went online on YouTube in September 2018 and found success quickly. On October 1, 2023, a channel posted an edit titled “Napoleon Edit, Amour plastique,” with the song slowed down and reverbed. Napoleon Bonaparte, born August 15, 1769 in Ajaccio, was emperor of the French from 1804 to 1814 and again in 1815.
