On February 12, 2021, a meme was spawned on Twitter after Corpse replied to a Gymshark tweet that read "Whoever gets the most liked comment [reply] we'll put on a billboard in times square."[ sic ] [10] Many people responded, but among the most likes was Corpse's reply that said "STREAM E-GIRLS ARE RUINING MY LIFE!" He shortly sent a follow-up tweet, claiming "[We] are at war here, fighting for a billboard in Times Square". [11] The competitor in question was YouTuber and Twitch streamer Jschlatt, who replied "I like men". Fans rapidly responded, joking about the song being featured on a billboard with photoshopped images and memes, leading "#CORPSEBILLBOARD" to start trending on Twitter. [12] "#proudofcorpseandgasp" and "#proudofemma" also started trending when it was revealed the song had reached 100,000,000 streams on Spotify, and a billboard advertising the song eventually went up in Times Square on March 6, 2021.
