I remembered other prominent representatives of show business who were laughed at on the network, and found out how they reacted to jokes and memes with their participation.
"In any incomprehensible situation, press the red button"
The meme with Leonid Agutin pressing the red button has been actively spreading for a week by administrators of popular publics in "In contact with" ... The users really liked the emotional expression on the face of the musician, as if saying: "Yes, burn it all with a blue flame!" As a result, this picture has become a symbol of making difficult life decisions.
VKontakte users put Agutin in different situations: he wondered whether to turn off the annoying morning alarm clock, meet a pretty girl or go to a bar with friends. “When you’re drunk and decided to write a message to your ex,” reads the text to one of the most popular pictures with a musician. The button, of course, says “send”.
Agutin himself told "Lente.ru" that he should not pay attention to the sudden network popularity, because there is still nothing to be done about it. “The main thing is that I do not harm anyone, even, as I understand it, on the contrary,” the musician laughed.
"Let's drink to love"
One of the oldest memes with Russian musicians is the hit "Let's Drink to Love" by a charismatic composer and singer. The song, released in 1995, has not only not lost its relevance today, but has also significantly increased the number of the musician's fans.
Almost forgotten by 2014, the track found a second wind thanks to the inhabitants of the entertainment resource "Pikabu", who began to distribute a photo of Nikolaev, having a rest in the bathhouse, with a mug of beer in his hand and the signature "Let's drink to love." With the help of Photoshop, the musician was placed in the most unexpected surroundings, and then a special game was invented. According to the rules, you need to drink for love only in three cases: when "your eyes are shining now", "a crystal tear is trembling" and "there is no need for extra words."
The cult YouTube blogger (Maddison) also contributed to the spread of the meme.
Blogger not only wrote down a cover version of the hit, but also promised his subscribers to get a tattoo with a portrait of Igor Nikolaev on his chest. He did not keep his promise, but set an example for other YouTube bloggers, who vied with each other to release remakes of Let's Drink to Love.
Nikolayev himself, according to rumors, is not offended by the jokers.
BBPE
But not all Russian musicians behave this way. For example, the BBPE meme (“hit the woman in the face”) launched in 2008 by the users of the anonymous imageboard “Dvach”, which, by a coincidence, became a member of the pop group “Bravo” known for his gallantry, the reason for the litigation between and the Internet administration -encyclopedias Lurkmore.
The singer himself said that he planned to file another lawsuit against the resource in defense of honor and dignity. “My task is to achieve justice. I know that I am not alone. I would like to gradually restore order in our network. And so that personal data is used with respect, ”explained the artist.
Lurkmore's article, which Syutkin did not like so much, tells about the emergence of the BBPE meme. It also notes that the singer was chosen as a symbol of the beating of women due to the fact that his cheerful, intelligent image is diametrically opposed to the meaning of the slogan. With a photo of a smiling singer, the BBPE meme looks as funny and ridiculous as possible.
As a result, the court sued Roskomnadzor against the online encyclopedia and demanded to remove the page with memes about Syutkin. “It was reported from the courtroom that the claim was satisfied. This is the first decision made on the Internet meme, ”the department proudly noted.
But a conspiracy theory is circulating on the network, according to which Syutkin deliberately made a scandal around Lurkmore, and the date of the trial "quite by accident" coincided with the release of the album "Moskvich 2015" by the Syutkin & LIGHT JAZZ association.
Heavy
But the star of the 90s, on the contrary, actively turned himself into a meme. In October 2015, the singer kindly asked about
Yuri Loza Is a Russian pop singer who became a meme man after he accused the Rolling Stones of not singing. Once on the pages of newspapers and magazines, the musician felt the taste of fame and decided to use the new image of the critic to his advantage. Now every second news about music and show business is not complete without statements by Loza.
Origin
It all began on March 24, 2016, when Yuri Loza spoke sharply about the Rolling Stone and Led Zeppelin groups, saying that their members could neither sing nor play. This happened at his concert as part of the "Salt" program on the Ren-TV channel.
80% of what is sung by Led Zeppelin is impossible to listen to because it is played and sung badly. The Rolling Stones never tuned a guitar in their entire life, and Jagger never hit a single note. Keith Richards, as he could not play then, and now he does not know how Yuri Loza
The statement angered not only connoisseurs of rock music, but even people far from culture. Many began to ridicule Loza for such criticism. Meanwhile, his quote was snapped up by all Internet media, and soon news about him reached foreign publications.
In April, producer Jimmy Douglas, who has worked with Led Zeppelin and The Rolling Stones, responded, saying that Loza was wrong. He also uttered a phrase that became a response meme: "Hu from Mr. Vine."
It didn't end there. Loza flashed on social networks for a long time, memes and photo toads began to be made on him. His name (more precisely, his surname) began to symbolize an arrogant critic who is ready to speak out on any topic. And Loza continued to maintain this image.
Musician and composer Yuri Loza did not deny his style. In his opinion, Zemfira is a bad performer, and as an author she does not shine.
Yuri Loza
Singer, composer
We need to try to demolish these five-story buildings, block houses, so that people leave Peter and go to work. You have five million freeloaders enjoying the views and bridges. Who the hell needs them nationwide? I am not against St. Petersburg as a city, I am just, as an economist, trying to explain to you how great it would be from the point of view of the economy and management of the country.
And Zemfira's texts are meaningless, the composer believes.

All these cracks are incomprehensible to me. We run around with people who are not understood, trying to put deep meanings into their words. When you speak in incomprehensible phrases, you will have fans who will fill them with meaning.
____________________________
What should we do with Vine?
The author of the hit about a small raft of songs and words has clearly lost its shores. Since Yuri Loza spoke frankly about the "Zepellins" and "Rollings", no one dared to say a word against him. And he swung at the sacred, at Gagarin. But the astronauts answered the guitarist.
“So tell this Yuri Loza that he is an asshole, nothing else! He's just a bastard, this Loza, he (Gagarin - ed.) Does not know him. He's an immature man - Vine! This is not a serious person! " This is how cosmonaut Alexei Leonov commented on the statement of musician Yuri Loza about cosmonaut Yuri Gagarin.
The fact is that on June 2, Yuri Loza compared the first cosmonaut of the planet, Yuri Gagarin, with the British group The Beatles, noting that Gagarin did nothing, just lay there: “You understand what the matter is. Gagarin was the first. Gagarin did nothing, he was lying. He is the first most important cosmonaut. The Beatles were the first to get to the right place at the right time, ”the musician answered when asked what he thinks about The Beatles, which is considered the greatest band of all time.
This is how, unexpectedly, Yuri Loza from a thunderstorm of aging rockers turned into a critic-naturalist. True, in this capacity, he may have to stay. Because now they are already collecting signatures under the demand "To ban the creative and concert activities of Yuri Loza, as offending the feelings of people."
LJ reaction
Bloggers also reacted quickly to Loza's words:
“Loza is clearly crazy. disease (((Doubted about the greatness of Yuri Gagarin! Alzheimer came to him! "- said.
“Gutting the first cosmonaut is an idiot. Moreover, this is a compatriot cosmonaut, especially since there is one anti-Soviet all around (more precisely, in the media). From the side of the idiot-Loza, it seems that flight, and even more so the first flight into space - means "lying" and doing nothing. It is foolish to even explain, but firstly, it is, at least, a strict regimen, constant training; secondly, it is a huge risk not to return, for the simple reason that no one has ever done this before.
Vine is, by and large, a failure. The name of Gagarin will always be remembered, the streets will be named after him, and no one will remember Loza. Simple “Yura, musician”, moreover, very envious and angry, ”he was indignant.
“There are two answers (and both are correct).
1. Loza has lost his mind and it is time for him to lie down for a week or two in the hospital. Kashchenko. They will help him there.
In any case, after hitting Gagarin, Loza no longer exists for me. I think that most of the inhabitants of Russia also sent him to ... ”, - said.
How Loza's career as a critic began
Keith Richards can't play, Mick Jagger never hit a note, and Led Zeppelin is simply impossible to listen to. On March 24, Yuri Loza made the first loud statement. LiveJournal Media offers to compare the work of a popular Russian musician in the late 1980s - early 1990s and his negligent Western colleagues.
“80% of what is sung by Led Zeppelin is impossible to listen to because it is played and sung badly. At that time it was all perceived, I liked everything. The Rolling Stones have never tuned a guitar in their entire life, and Jagger never hit a single note, well, what can you do. Keith Richards, as he did not know how to play then, does not know how now. But this has a certain drive, some kind of buzz. Many project their youth onto these groups, and they were very weak, ”Loza said on Ren TV.
In 1989, Yuri Loza, who gained national fame thanks to the song "Raft", recorded the lyrical rock ballad "Mother Writes". The young guitarist with a shock of hair, a shirt unbuttoned with an extra button and a gentle voice finally conquered the Soviet, mainly female audience. In the same year, the American band The Rolling Stones were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and recorded their nineteenth studio album, Steel Wheels. They later recorded three more, and the total circulation of the Rolling albums exceeded 250 million.
1995 - Loza, who created his own recording studio "Studio of Yuri Loza", following the collection of songs "For the soul" releases a mature work "For the mind ...", which sums up the original result of the musician's work. Despite the fact that the musician's popularity has already begun to weaken a little, the inhabitants of free Russia especially remembered his laconic and polished "Winter", "Beer", "Death" and "Tosca". In the same year, the British Led Zeppelin entered the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, having recorded their last, ninth studio album a few years earlier. Seven of them have climbed to the top of the Billboard 200, and the total circulation of Zeppelin records has exceeded 300 million.
Yuri Loza has been on stage for over 25 years and is skeptical of all kinds of prizes and awards. He doesn't have them. According to him, this is due to the fact that he “never stood on the barricades with the opposition, but in his songs he represented life as he saw it. At the same time, he never adjusted to the party's policy, did not bow to those in power. "
In just a few months musician Yuri Lozahas become one of the most prominent figures in the media space of the former USSR. Perhaps, even at the time when the legendary song "Plot" became an all-Union hit, its performer was less known than now.
Each new statement by Yuri Loza is eagerly awaited, since the musician's non-trivial thoughts about everything in the world cause an extremely violent reaction from the public. At the same time, individual phrases are often snatched out of Loza's statement, which is why it greatly changes the original meaning. The musician's attempts to explain that he meant something completely different, as a rule, are unsuccessful.
Vine on the poorly performing and singing Led Zeppelin
It all started in March 2016, when Yuri Loza became a guest of the TV program Zakhara Prilepina "Salt". When it came to the work of world rock bands, Loza said: “80 percent of what is sung by the Cepelins, that is Led Zeppelin, is impossible to listen to. Because it's played and sung badly. At that time it was all perceived, I liked everything. The Rolling Stones have never tuned a guitar in their entire life, but Jaggeri never hit a single note, well, what can you do. Richardsas then he could not play, and now he can not. Well, it happened. ".
Fans of the classics of world rock took up arms against Loza, and the journalists realized that they had stumbled upon a "gold mine". The words of the Russian musician were conveyed to the producer of the Rolling Stones and Led Zeppelin Jimmy Douglas, who was outraged by such an assessment and stated that he had never heard Loza's songs.
Vine and duet with Mick Jager
Loza himself, to whom representatives of the radio station "Moscow speaking" came for a comment, also did not reduce the intensity, announcing that he was ready to sing a duet with Mick Jager: “We could well perform on the same stage. I look at it like a pro. I would say: we will earn good money and we will do a big PR campaign. Because here he will be well received, if he sings the "Raft" verse, it will be funny and cool and wonderful. And I would sing Satisfaction. They want, they need, let them go. I am sitting here, everything is fine with me, they are also self-sufficient ".
Journalists often have a problem getting their interlocutor to talk, getting really vivid answers from him. Yuri Loza, however, is not at all like that - he is a direct person, and if he is asked about something, he answers vividly and figuratively. Realizing this, the reporters did not limit the range of issues to music, which is why Loza's collection of sayings began to grow exponentially.
Vine and mate of Vladimir Putin
"National News Service" after another "Direct Line" with Vladimir Putin asked the musician how he assessed the president's admission that he sometimes uses strong words.
“Putin never swore obscenities on the air. Putin never swore at the conference. I do not know where he swears if he says that he does it. Let him do it as much as he likes, if no one hears. If he says that he swears, but for God's sake "Loza said.
Vine and anorexia Angelina Jolie
Loza and the gay minister
Yuri Loza does not ignore the news of politics. So, in May it became known that the first openly gay man was appointed as the US Secretary of the Army. Erica Fanning.
“For all my tolerance, I could not hold back a malicious laugh and here's why: firstly, Eric will obey not only the Minister of Defense, but also his now legal spouse, for “let the wife fear her husband” (Epistle of the Apostle Paul to the Ephesians, 5th chapter); secondly, the cadre military of the lower echelon received real confirmation of their thesis, repeatedly voiced earlier - “they are all there, above, pi ... aces”; well, thirdly, the chances have been added that in the US army everything will now be done through zh..pu, and this is very beneficial for us, as their potential adversaries, " Loza wrote on his Facebook page.
Vine and Eurovision
Naturally, for comments to Yuri Loza was actively addressed after Eurovision, replicating a lot of juicy and vivid phrases. But on Facebook, the musician spoke much more calmly and clearly: “Everything is as usual: a) Europe received a new“ hit ”from the winner, which no one will listen to or sing about; b) Ukraine has received a winner, who once again will not be allowed into the euro stars; c) we got another idiotic hysteria for many hours on the channel "Russia 1"; d) our native Russian culture received nothing. And I couldn't get anything even in the event of a so-called victory. ".
Loza and Sergey Lazarev
When asked what he thinks about Sergei Lazarev, who represented Russia in 2016 at Eurovision.
“At the very beginning it was said“ our Lazarev ”. This is not our Lazarev. Kirkorov, Lazarev - these are not our guys, but theirs. Lazarev has nothing of ours, except for his passport, "the musician noted." You yourself said that the Greeks gave him the number. What do we have to do with him? Well done Greeks, Swede and Englishman. From a formal point of view, he showed nothing new to the world. I hit the notes, but sang evenly, mediocre. As he always sings. You can't call him a great vocalist. By and large, he sang not the way Celine Dion sang at the Eurovision Song Contest. She "gave" the song with her voice. And Lazarev's number was good because the Greeks were great. What do we have to do with it? There is nothing of ours but money. ".
Loza and Petro Poroshenko
Yuri Loza did not pass by the topic of returning to Ukraine Nadezhda Savchenkopaying attention to the performance Petro Poroshenko on this occasion.
“The President of Ukraine in front of the cameras said to the whole country:“This is the day when hope returned to Ukraine. Nadezhda Savchenko, hope and firm will for our victory. And just as we returned Hope, so we will return Donbass, so we will return Crimea under Ukrainian sovereignty. " Very strange, but for some reason no one tried to grasp the essence of his words, and yet it is as follows:
As we were all told, as compensation for the release of Nadiya Savchenko, the Kiev authorities sent two Russians home, so if Poroshenko decided to return Donbass and Crimea in the same way, then he is going to offer in exchange for two Ukrainian regions for each of the above-mentioned territorial objects !
It remains to wait - that he is ready to concede ", - wrote Loza on Facebook.
Loza and Gagarin
In general, if you get acquainted with the statements of Loza in the full version, then they, for all their originality and poignancy, look much less scandalous than the "squeezes" from them that explode the media space.
So, in fact, it happened with the last statement of Loza at the moment, concerning the first cosmonaut of the Earth, Yuri Gagarin.
In a conversation with the journalist of the Zvezda TV channel Evgeny Muzhikovthe musician discussed the work of The Beatles.
“You understand what the matter is. Gagarin was the first. Gagarin did nothing, he was lying. He is the first most important cosmonaut. The Beatles were the first to get to the right place at the right time. ", - Yuri Loza answered. - “The Beatles hit a time when TV appeared in every home. These were the first idols who stepped into every house. The Beatles wouldn’t be like this if they were ten years earlier or ten years later. ".
"Fucking Moldovan, your mother!"
Oddly enough, the controversial and controversial statement about The Beatles remained in the shadows. The media of the post-Soviet space thundered with a sensation: "Yuri Loza: Gagarin did nothing, he was just lying."
While social media users unleashed their anger on Loza, the journalists got to the first person to go into outer space - Alexey Leonov... One of the first Soviet cosmonauts was a close friend of Gagarin, and when he heard from the reporter that “Gagarin was just lying down,” he gave vent to his feelings.
“So tell this Yuri Loza that he is an asshole, nothing else! He's just a bastard, this Vine, he doesn't know him. He's an immature man - Vine! This is not a serious person! Fucking Moldovan, your mother! ”, - quotes Leonov Life.
It should be noted here that the Moldovans got it absolutely in vain, because the musician with Polish roots has nothing to do with Moldova.
The journalists also got to one more veteran of the Soviet space program, the cosmonaut George Grechko.
“I would love to hear his opinion about songs, about trends in songwriting, about what has survived and what has gone. That is, I would listen to his opinion about the songs with pleasure. And his opinion about space and about Gagarin, excuse me, does not interest me, ”Georgy Grechko told the website of the Zvezda TV channel.
"Brothers, maybe I missed something?"
“Brothers, maybe I missed something? All my life I have trusted popular science literature and various technical books. The day before yesterday on the Zvezda TV channel, I said (considering this a generally accepted fact) that the first cosmonaut Yuri Gagarin was lying in the rocket. This is confirmed by all the sources I know, "Loza wrote in response on his Facebook page," It is also stated everywhere that the flight of Vostok-1 took place in automatic mode, nothing depended on a person, and he was given only one task - to return alive. And also in all publications it is written that six people were selected directly for the flight, equally ready and rushing into space. Gagarin was chosen for parameters that did not relate to the preparation itself, but this does not diminish his great feat. A feat that cannot be repeated at all, because he was the FIRST who stepped into the unknown, all the others followed him ".
Loza also reacted to the rebuke of Alexei Leonov that appeared: “Well, what non-people are these magazines who upset the honored cosmonaut Leonov by throwing distorted information about my supposedly negative statement about his colleague and, perhaps, friend. Do they really not understand that it is impossible for the sake of a scandal and a banal struggle for a rating to unnerve a person who is 82 difficult years? And what should we call them after that? "
When will it end?
Shortly before the story with the statement about Gagarin, Loza wrote on Facebook: "I think it's time to tie up with telephone interviews altogether - whatever you say to these magazines, they will twist everything."
It seems that Yuri Loza can really stop this process only if he stops giving interviews or commenting on anything on social networks.
But, by all appearances, the author of the legendary "Plot" is far from being silent in character. So, sooner or later, it will "break through" again. Moreover, both journalists and the public are really eager for new "aphorisms from the Loza." And demand, as you know, gives rise to supply.
The Russian musician spoke unflatteringly about the work of the stars of the first magnitude and even swung at the classics. “Mick Jagger missed the notes. 80% of Mozart's works are self-repetitions, ”Loza is sure. Runet rebelled

Yuri Loza instead of John Travolta. The author of the once popular song about the raft turned into the most popular Internet meme in just a week. To do this, he had only to declare that The Rolling Stones "never tuned a guitar in their entire life," and Mick Jagger did not hit the notes. In addition to the question - why does Loza say all this, another arises - why is it so hooked on everyone?
Perhaps one of the best photoshoots looks like this: Vladimir Putin is at the white piano. Igor Nikolaev, Nadezhda Babkina and Iosif Kobzon listen to him with approving smiles. Natasha Koroleva leaned over to the piano, looking at the president with admiration. And next to him is the strict Yuri Loza with his mouth sealed with tape!
It all started when Yuri Loza, speaking in one of the TV programs, suddenly began to criticize the legendary Western musicians. "80% of what Led Zeppelin sang is impossible to listen to - played poorly, and The Rolling Stones have never tuned their guitar in their entire life," Lohse said. Colleagues in the shop reacted first. As Andrey Makarevich wrote on Facebook: “This is the problem. And our Yura can do everything. Only nobody needs it. " In an interview with Business FM, Makarevich was even more critical: "Well, what can I say about a fool?"
Evgeny Margulismusician “He raised a certain interest in his person. Therefore, if further, when his statements about academic composers went, if all this is perceived as some kind of strategic trolling plan, then it probably works for him. "
But Loza's songs on Yandex.Music began to be listened to three times more often. And in mid-May he will give a big concert in one of the Moscow clubs, in the announcement Loza is called “a master of comparative musical analysis”. However, perhaps by the middle of May everyone will forget about him.
