THE 40TH SOTF SONGTEST AKA:
THE MEMETEST


hahahaha yeah. here are the rules, mostly unchanged from the last time i ran a songtest, which was like a year ago:
[+] da rulez
- submit your song via PM or discord, whichever's easier for you

- songs will be randomly divided into 2 or 3 semifinals depending on turnout. if you're going to be away at some point in the next couple of weeks, let me know and I can try to put your song in a round when you'll be here.

- listen to every song and give points to your top 10 favorites: 12 to your favorite, 10 to your second, 8 to your third, 7 to your fourth, and so on down to 1 point for your tenth favorite.

- if your song is in a given round, you must vote that round or you'll be eliminated. if your song isn't in that round (or you aren't in the contest at all), your vote will be counted as a public vote, which counts for half points.

- the top [x] songs will move on to the final. that number depends on the number of contestants.

- repeat the process for the finals and we get a winner.

- winner gets to hold the next contest, or they can pass the job along to 2nd place if they don't want to. 2nd place can pass down to third, etc, until someone wants to host.

general song rules:
- no eurovision songs
- no reality show/competition covers
- no songs already submitted in a songtest
- there is no penalty for length in this contest. however, if a song goes over 7 minutes, listeners aren't obligated to listen to more than the first 7 minutes of the song. so choose a long song at your own risk!

each semifinal and the final will last for three days. some rules about activity/extensions:
- if you know at the start of your semifinal that you wont be available to vote for those three days, let me know asap and I can move you to another semi, if we aren't on the final one already.
- I'll be posting every 24 hours in this topic as a reminder, as well as pinging everyone who hasn't voted on discord 24 hours before the round ends.
- extensions will only be granted in extenuating circumstances. forgetting to vote until an hour before deadline is not an extenuating circumstance.
now, some more specific rules for the theme:

Image

- songs have to be memes, part of memes, used in the background of memes, etc. if the song isn't a meme in and of itself but its attached to like a popular vine or tiktok or whatever it's probably fine.
- plenty of super popular songs become memes, but being a super popular song doesnt make a song a meme. Despacito is a meme, One Kiss is not.
- imma be pretty lenient about this but if i don't know the song i might ask where you're getting it from, so be prepared to show me if you aren't submitting something obvious.
- covers are fine! a cover that is a meme in and of itself when the original song isn't is fine, a cover that isn't a meme in and of itself when the original song is is also fine.
- basically this is all pretty broad and if you think a song counts it probably does, but if i really can't find any evidence ur song was ever used as part of a meme i reserve the right to make you pick something else.

aaaand that's it. signups will run, idk, until there's enough people and i get impatient. send me ur song via discord or board pm, and feel free to post here if you wanna be listed and don't have a song yet. participants in italics have not yet submitted songs.
