Forwarded: It does not matter whether Season Mine is an event or a season when determining if any of its commonly-used sources are memes. The uploads are still themed like a seasonal event (akin to something like Halloween or Christmas events), so the usages of Astronomia, Thick of It, Burning Desires, The Mine Song, etc. must have the fact that they are sources explicitly allowed during a period of limited options for jokes/vgm to use taken into acccount. The fact that they ARE allowed is in of itself notable, however, and must also be taken into account when considering meme status. In addition, I think relative frequency is a very important thing to use for this discussion. Burning Desires has been used noticably faster than most of the other explicitly allowed sources (for example, we only have gotten 3 The Lorax rips) and this should be taken into account.

tbf i definitely should have waited to propose this until after season mine presumably ends yeah
see that right there is why I'm still mixed on not calling this an event
Stingy is not being like a regular main host where he's upload random unrelated rips outside of events. he's uploading rips according to a sourcelist, one that is growing every day but is still a list.

Even if this is an event, this is not an "event" by our normal standards of an event. We sould take into account relative frequency versus other joke options for determining meme status.
like u said, Burning Desires has been uploaded with more frequency than other sources, so that gives it support for considering it a meme should we propose it one day, for example
A source being claimed by stingy is in of itself notable for meme considerations. Although "The Mine Song" does not exactly get this advantage

I mean a lot of the claims are just stuff from the era where the mine song was a popular internet meme
half of them are like that, but the other half just seems like things the rippers like
Burning Desires had two uses before Season Mine and eleven during Season Mine as of now https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL0A7nUaCnpJXzCe5Fw8UszPqeM869Qwe8
do you guys really think its never gonna be used past this event of course it will be
do you guys really think its never gonna be used past this event of course it will be
also this is not good logic we should only cover things that are valid memes not will be valid memes
it will probably get used like 20 times in season 10 and 14 of those will be event i mean meme medley rips
clearly it wasnt liked enough within the team to carry the entire season i mean event i mean meme by itself
as in they could have not done the stingy claiming things gimmick if they liked the mine song more
complainsplaining
The Mine Song is still being included by and large within the claimed sources
neigh! whinny!
mine song had very little uses prior to the current event, just because silva decided to milk it as a whole channel event prior to its most latest use 2 months ago doesn't automatically give it meme status.
WP:TOOSOON, and even if the "event"/"season" is over, I bet this won't be a recurring meme unlike WANO or something, and there seemed to be an established convention that recurring event songs are not memes.
TL;DR:
do you guys really think its never gonna be used past this event of course it will be
nah
