This past weekend saw footage of “alt-right” (or Neo-Nazi, as some would say) figure Richard Spencer getting sucker-punched by a protester during an interview.
The incident has sparked a debate of sorts online, with some questioning whether violence is okay if used against an extremist.
No ad to show here.
But a rather entertaining meme has sparked, in the form of music being added to the footage in question. And leading the charge is the @PunchedToMusic Twitter account, creating and retweeting footage of Spencer getting punched… to music.
Songs featured in the clips include Carly Rae Jepsen’s Call Me Maybe, Blur’s Song 2, Aaron Carter’s That’s How I Beat Shaq and DMX’s X Gon Give it To Ya. Check out a selection of these clips below.
