The fad started after mildly famous YTPMVer rabies bun uploaded the video "Scary Monsters and Nice Parasprites [PonyDub]" on July 27, 2012. In the description of this video, rabies bun states: "I'm not a YTPMV'er. My goal is towards learning music and eventually making my own content with what I like (in this case ponies). I'm still studying how music works and this is what I can do so far, so to all the ytpmv'ers out there: Please stop following my videos, cause I'm not interested in making chiptune music with your rules you set up on how to make YTPMV's. Also I'd appreciate if you guys would lay off bronies in the comment section, cause these are made for them and not for people who doesn't like ponies."
