An Unterganging Status is defined as the degree of activity of an Unterganger. A certain Unterganger's status can be derived from his YouTube activity, e.g. the amount of parodies he or she has uploaded over a certain period of time, among other factors. There are three main categories of Unterganging statuses, mainly Active, "Blocked" and Retirement. From several years of observation, it can be inferred from the period of activity of Untergangers that they can be further classified into terms by period of activity.
