YMMV / Travis Scott

• Memetic Mutation:
  • Wanna listen to "Sicko Mode" or "Mo Bamba"? ^Explanation Text saying this was superimposed over a picture of the know-it-all kid from The Polar Express. Over time, it became a catchphrase used to mock people with only surface-level knowledge of hip hop music.
  • "ĘAEÝ"/*falls in autotune* ^Explanation During Drake's "BOY MEETS WORLD" tour, he brought out Travis to perform the song "goosebumps". However, before he could start his verse, Travis fell off the stage, making an "EEHYA" like sound while the autotune was still active. Fans have since poked fun at this moment with multiple variations of what Scott said when he fell.
  • On November 6, 2021, ten fans died at Scott's Astroworld Festival. This has led to a number of Black Comedy memes about how deadly his concerts are.
  • "DICKO MODE", a highly NSFW parody of "SICKO MODE", has earned notoriety as a Bait-and-Switch gag (the usual setup involving "SICKO MODE" playing as normal until 'the Drake part') thanks to a viral video of Clone Hero streamer Acai unknowingly playing the song.
  • "Belt."^Explanation In an interview conducted by Nardwuar, he asks how Travis manages to keep his pants up during performances, to which Travis replies with, "belt." It's since become a meme to take Travis' response and apply it to characters who are infamous for having Too Many Belts.
• Overshadowed by Controversy: The Astroworld Festival tragedy heavily stained Travis's reputation, which wasn't helped by the fact that he refused to stop the show to allow medical personnel to treat the injured.
• Spiritual Successor: Travis has called ASTROWORLD a continuation of Rodeo.
• What Do You Mean, It's Not for Kids?: Travis has a very large audience of kids and teens, especially after the highly-attended Fortnite virtual concerts; however, his music couldn't be more adult if he tried. In the Dirty South Texas tradition, most of his songs are about sex, drugs, and violence. What are you doing buying your kid an album where the opening song is called "Pornography", anyway?
