The format

What does Turn Up the Volume mean?

Also called Volume Up · Volume 100 · Jay Versace Headphones

A volume knob turns up, then Jay Versace reacts with headphones on. Name the sound that deserves an absurdly emotional response, from a favorite theme tune to a welcome notification.

The top panel raises the intensity before the lower picture reveals how much the listener cares. The mismatch is funniest when the sound is familiar, ordinary, or embarrassing to love.

You can use it sincerely for a favorite piece of music or give that same treatment to something mundane, such as a microwave beep or a message that plans are canceled.

Origin

Jay Versace reacts to a new Chance the Rapper release.

On May 13, 2016, Jay Versace posted four headphone photographs on Twitter while celebrating a new Chance the Rapper release. One of those pictures became the lower panel of this meme. [1]

Know Your Meme documents a November 3, 2016 tweet by @hayleydotsonn connecting the reaction to Rae Sremmurd’s “Black Beatles.” The image spread with a blurred volume-dial picture and new captions about other music, including children’s television themes. [1]

Caption guide

Name the sound; leave the reaction alone.

Put a short description across the lower portion of the volume-knob panel. Keep the headphone photograph clear so the expression supplies the response.

A song title, a type of sound, or a short situation is enough. You do not need to reproduce lyrics to make the reader imagine what is playing.

The sound worth turning up
Across the lower part of the volume-knob panel.
  • Identify one sound or listening moment.
  • Keep the lower face and raised arm visible.
  • Try a familiar sound that rarely gets this much praise.
  • Use the emotional response as the punchline.
