AboutWhat does the meme depict?
The Inception Cat meme features a video of a cat that eerily and slowly raises its head above a floorboard, staring intently at the camera before quickly disappearing behind the floorboard again. The suspenseful atmosphere of the video is enhanced by the iconic 'Inception' movie soundtrack (Zack Hemsey – Mind Heist) playing in the background, which adds a dramatic and humorous effect to the cat's mysterious peekaboo action.
OriginWho did it first?
Inception Cat originated from a video titled 'ПИЗДЕЦ МНЕ!' (loosely translated as 'I'm screwed!'). This video, featuring a cat peeking over a floorboard, was initially uploaded on YouTube (now X) by user THTTB on September 1st, 2010, without any audio. Shortly after, the video was modified to include the 'Inception' soundtrack and became viral, garnering significant viewership. The original video clip was also uploaded by spederson7 on YouTube (now X) on September 2nd, 2010. This version quickly caught the internet's attention, linked to its incorporation of the suspense-filled soundtrack, popularizing the 'Inception Cat' as we know it today.[1]
