r\/place recreates iconic Bad Apple music video with jaw-dropping timelapse YouTube: kasidid2 \/ Reddit: r\/placeThe r\/place subreddit recreated the iconic Bad Apple music video of internet and Touhou fame, taking the platform by storm thanks to its users\u2019 creativity and collaborative efforts. If you\u2019ve been on the internet for any amount of time, you\u2019ve likely run into a song titled \u2018Bad Apple\u2019 at some point. The beat is extremely famous, and the original music video for the track boasts over 74 million views on YouTube at the time of writing. It was initially published on YouTube thirteen years ago, in 2010, and features several silhouettes of characters from Touhou Project, a bullet hell shoot \u2019em up series of video games created by a one-man, independent developer that have spawned a slew of literature and other media. The song itself is a remix of an older version of the track and has cemented itself as one of the most prominent pillars of internet culture over the ensuing decade. The music video is also quite stunning, featuring fluid animation that transitions from one character or object to the next almost seamlessly. It has also been recreated a number of times over the course of the years, becoming a timeless \u2018meme\u2019 of sorts. Reddit users resurrect famous \u2018Bad Apple\u2019 music video on r\/place canvas Although it\u2019s an intimidating project, users on Reddit decided to take matters into their own hands and recreated the famous music video on r\/place. R\/place is a subreddit that features an open canvas, which registered users can contribute to by changing the color of a single pixel. After they change a pixel, users must wait for a limited period of time before they can make another change to the canvas. Therefore, it seems almost impossible that so many netizens would gather together to make their own animated version of Bad Apple as a community \u2014 but recreate it, they did, and the results are stunning. A short timelapse of the pixelated music video was uploaded to Reddit by user AmsterPlays, which took Redditors from communities across r\/Hatsune, r\/TouHou, r\/osugame, and others nearly 72 hours to complete the project. The animation is even flanked by Touhou characters and is, simply put, a major feat of collective effort. Commenters are collectively congratulating each other, remarking on more difficult parts of the animation, such as recreating the music video\u2019s yin-yang orb. \u201cCongrats to this community, crazy!\u201d one user wrote. \u201cThank you, all of you, for this event,\u201d another said. \u201cDoing this animation was amazing and very tiring.\u201d This is just the latest project to take over the internet from r\/place after users collectively decided to protest against Reddit CEO Steve Huffman\u2019s proposed changes to the site\u2019s API.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
