when the music is a major banger but the musician is a minor banger
Overview
This meme features a heavily blurred, distorted screaming version of Hatsune Miku as the background, with centered text that delivers a pun joke. The text reads "when the music is a major banger but the musician is a minor banger" -- the wordplay uses "major banger" to mean an extremely good song, while "minor banger" is a double entendre: it refers to the musician being a bad person who committed offenses against minors, while also mirroring the "major/minor" contrast from music terminology. The distorted screaming Miku perfectly expresses the inner conflict and discomfort of wanting to enjoy a good song, but being unable to ignore that the artist is a terrible person.
Origin notes
This meme originates from Reddit as a viral meme joke, based on the common internet cultural experience of finding out a beloved musician/artist has committed serious harmful acts (often against underage people) leading to conflicted feelings when you still enjoy their music. It uses the pre-existing popular distorted screaming Hatsune Miku meme template to convey the distressed reaction.
