About & sources

Repeated enthusiastic compliments, especially about white Vans, turn an ordinary friend's wardrobe into a catchphrase.

Date

Know Your Meme dates Josh Holz's Twitter video montage praising his friend Daniel Lara's outfits to February 15, 2016. That documented upload anchors the exhibit; the individual clips were recorded beforehand.

History

The repetition and delivery give the short montage its reusable hook. Reposting and parodies helped a local friendship joke travel well beyond its original school audience.
