Where can I find the latest terrier for young people? The answer is the living area of Station B.
According to the 2021 financial report of Station B, the living area has pressured other regions to become the favorite area of 65 million daily active users of Station B, and the funny area is the traffic gathering place and the "source of all evil" for many Internet celebrities.
And if you are a loyal user who brushes the living area of Station B for more than an hour every day, then your homepage will definitely be recommended as a type of video: this kind of video is uniformly placed on the cover with a lemon head, which is very abruptly growing a pair of human eyes and a red mouth.
Unconsciously, the life funny area of Station B began to be brushed by a group of lemon heads.
Lemonhead is a talk show for young people who don't need to show their faces, and it is also their confession room
The lemon head video comes from a video effect called "All Things And Five Senses" on Douyin, which can graft your eyes and mouth on the pictures of your choice alone, creating a video style with a sense of cold humor. Lemon Background is just one of the optional templates.
But this kind of video is not something that your parents can easily accept.
In most lemon head videos, you can only see a lemon that is squeezing eyebrows and showing a mouthful of teeth, which is the level that will make the aunt and uncle who pass by say "what an obscure thing". And the sound in the video has been processed to be distorted and sharp, and its ethereal and eerie degree can probably summon Lin Zhengying in the middle of the night.
What really makes the young people of station B head on is the self-detonation of high-energy large netizens from the title.
In the lemon head video, you can see the following content:
Someone incarnated as the heroine of the dog blood novel herself, and interpreted "About the Fact That I Found Out The Next Bed Was My Ex-Boyfriend When I Was Hospitalized", a novel in which the resentful couple became a fellow intercourse patient. Of course, the heroine does not have leukemia in Korean dramas, but appendicitis.
Some people's teachers read color novels on the Internet at 10:30 p.m., and when they saw half of them suddenly receiving a call from the police, they were frightened and frightened, and as a result, their students ran away from home. Under a phone call from the police, the up lord has been suffering from ptsd and has since embarked on the road of abstinence.
Others shared the childhood fun that was engraved in their minds at the B station, such as when they attended the cram school when they were young, they sat on the toilet of the teacher's house, and in a roar, they calmly exchanged "You're okay" and "I'm okay" across a door with the teacher, and finally walked out of the room without a problem and was loudly said by the second student who went to the toilet, "Teacher!" Xxx sat down on the toilet! "The magical experience.
After not worrying about physical exposure and having their voices processed, young people boldly put their social death experiences on websites where 65 million people watch videos every day.
Station B became a virtual confessional room for those young people, telling the secret sin pleasure, the desire to be spied on by the public, and the anonymization operation that would not affect the real image, a three-pronged approach, so that the number of lemon head videos mushroomed like mushrooms.
" Thank you, LemonHead "
After reading the above part, everyone probably understands. The themes of lemonhead videos are usually very grounded. Most of the social death moments shared by these young people contain one of the following elements: emotional life, three emergencies, embarrassing moments, and more or less "human" elements.
In the barrage of Station B, the most barrage is "this is more heavyweight". This sentence is also a stem on the Internet, generally describing the appearance of the big guy or a particularly outrageous thing. This phrase is most appropriate to describe the large troubles that are pressed to the bottom of the heart by the lemon head.
Compared with "this is more heavyweight", the full screen of "hahahaha" also makes people seem to be able to hear the deafening laughter of the onlookers.
The embarrassing incident of "if it happens to you, I only hope to drink a bowl of Meng Po soup immediately" like the lemon heads can make the audience empathize with the performances of many comedians who play hard but are still boring.
High praise reply under a lemon head video on the B station
And the true story of the lemon heads about the reincarnation of people's grains can always stimulate the memories that people do not want to remember and cannot forget in the depths of their minds.
But no matter what, people who watch lemon head videos always get the simplest pleasure. Friendly viewers may not remember the person who posted the video individually, but they will certainly remember the most important features of the video, and then neatly "Thank you, lemon head"
Why do young people love to look at lemon heads?
The rise of lemonheads is a triumph of self-deprecation.
In recent years, words such as "inner volume" and "Buddhist system" have appeared and quickly made the majority of young people empathize, because in the current public opinion environment, "weaker than others" is not right, "not enough" is not right, and all kinds of successful books are still the best-selling book categories in bookstores - from online to offline, there are people everywhere who teach you to be an "excellent" and "strong" person.
Under the high-intensity pressure in this, young people have to tense their nerves. In this case, the best way to save yourself is to find fun. The simpler it is, the better it will make people laugh.
And the "weakness" exposed by the people behind the lemon head video is so flattering.
There is a term in psychology called the "mistake effect", which means that people will not trust those who have perfect human designs in real life, on the contrary, people who will make mistakes by actively exposing their shortcomings are more loved and trusted by people.
And the troubles that we see in the lemon head video that happen to others can better shorten the psychological distance between young people, which is the magic of the "making mistakes effect".
Common goals may not make people trust each other, but the mistakes they have made can certainly be a weapon for breaking the ice of interpersonal relationships.
And these lemon-headed videos don't give people a moral burden at all. Because when a person is already able to share his distress with others in the form of a joke, it is equivalent to handing the audience a safety signal, proving that the person who is speaking has let go of his heart, and I will not offend me if you laugh - after all, for most ordinary people, it is impossible to laugh at a stranger who is really in pain.
This is similar to the principle of "fear relief" in comedy, after telling your own bad and embarrassing experience, this bad embarrassment does not bring harm to yourself, but there are other people to face together. Laughter is born.
From the creator's point of view, in the full screen of bullet screens and everyone together in the self-explosion of black history of the commentary, the moment of social death experienced by lemon heads was self-deprecating and dissolved, and the stories that could not be told to others in real life could gain the attention of netizens in the online world, and the embarrassing depression of lemon heads was vented here.
The audience's anxiety is invisibly diluted by the talk show, and similar experiences and painful spit or self-deprecation have become the audience's outlet for decompression. "It wasn't me who was so unlucky!" "It turns out that there are people who are more unlucky than me!" "There is such an outrageous thing" has become a decompression tool for the audience.
Obviously, they are all distant strangers, but under the lemon head, the audience and the creators have become sand sculpture netizens who give each other warmth and joy. People become mimetic relatives on the Internet" (e.g., calling each other sisters and brothers), but they don't really need to know each other. We just need to gather under the lemon tree at this moment, share the truest emotions, vent the bitterness in the depths of our hearts, and then forget each other again and go to the next lemon, or something else.
If self-deprecation is just form, then truth is the core of lemon head popularity.
Although the lemon head video is mostly rough, it is this kind of original video with a zierwa noise that can dig out the most precious quality - the truth.
Steve Kaplan, the godfather of Hollywood comedy, defined comedy this way in The Thing About Comedy: Comedy is an art that sets out the truth about human life. What is the truth about human beings, that is, we all have shortcomings.
More than one friend around me complained to me: Comedy shows on TV and the Internet are really getting more and more uninteresting.
Who can blame this? Today's comedians and stand-up comedians, like us, are just hit workers under capital, where is the time to polish the paragraph? Now is the era of short video, people are eager to watch more than ten new paragraphs every day, capital and platform side hope to output more content circle to occupy traffic, but the intensive creative demand also makes the most talented comedy creators can only be functional donkey skills poor.
So you can only follow the buzzwords, follow the harmonic stems, either getting more and more boring or more contrived.
But lemon head is different, lemon head is the master of many ordinary creators. So Lemonhead is always useful for inspiration, and it is more grounded than comedy creators who make a lot of money.
"The main drama creates the person we want to be, but the comedy allows us to face the reality we are in" Lemonhead video also added the king fried chicken soup of "life is not so bad" on this basis.
The password is correct and there is no shortage of traffic. The reason why lemonhead videos are often hundreds of thousands of views is as simple as that.
