What does Turn Up the Volume mean?

Also called Volume Up Crying Guy · Jay Versace Headphones · Crying While Listening to Music

A volume dial turns up beside a listener reacting with tears and a raised fist. Name the song, theme, or unexpected sound that deserves this much enthusiasm.

The image exaggerates the pleasure or emotion of hearing a favorite sound. The dial and the expression say that ordinary listening is no longer enough.

An unlikely choice can make the joke: a game menu theme, an old cartoon opening, or surprisingly good music while waiting on hold.

Origin

Jay Versace’s listening photos become a music reaction.

On May 13, 2016, Jay Versace posted four photographs on Twitter celebrating a new Chance the Rapper release. One showed him listening through headphones with an emotional expression and raised fist. [1]

Know Your Meme records a November 3, 2016 post by @hayleydotsonn using the image for a music reaction. Later versions paired it with a volume dial and changed the subject to other songs, including familiar television themes. [1]

Caption guide

Name the sound that earns the reaction.

Add your caption above the listener’s face on the right. Keep the volume dial and the raised hand visible.

A song title or description is enough; there is no need to reproduce lyrics. Choose something the audience can imagine hearing as soon as they read it.

Above the listener’s face in the right panel.
  • Name one specific kind of sound or song.
