Survival Of The Fittest

Hello everyone!

While Ruggahissy won the Creditstest, she's too busy to run a contest, so I've decided to take over as my right as the Susan Lucci of the SOTF Song Contests.

Anyways, let's get on to the next contest.

*Billy Porter voice* THE CATEGORY IS.....


This theme is similar to the Memetest we did a while back, but I wanted to expand on it a little. Instead of just internet meme songs, I want to focus on the singers, bands, and content creators who got their start on the internet. YouTube content creators, SoundCloud musicians, that sort. People who run cover channels. Collaborators. Comedic singers. Mashup artists. DJs. Remix artists. Do you have a musician or group you like who started on an internet platform and broke into the mainstream? Then this is the time to submit their work.

I won't be too harsh on gatekeeping submissions. I'd suggest that you focus more on people who needed the internet to get the boost instead of people or songs who were already established or notable before the internet got their hands on it. For example: if someone appeared on a competition series, but didn't really become well-known until an online video came out (like the lady in the above .gif), then I would permit. But if someone was already famous, had a long career, and then one of their songs was attached to a meme or a viral video, that probably wouldn't work (like when Justin Bieber tried to make Yummy a TikTok hit). More creators than memes, if that helps. But if you want to discuss this with me, you can PM me on the board or DM me on Discord to discuss whether something would count.

Common songtest rules for the unitiated:

[+] You know em

- 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.

Signups will go for three days, ending at 7 PM EST on Thursday, June 3rd. Songs can be sent via PM on the board or DMd on Discord.

Let's get viral!
