If you haven’t heard the words “Damn Daniel” these past few weeks, you’re out of the loop.

The “Damn Daniel” video blew up on Twitter  on February 15th and has received over 180,000 retweets ever since. In the 30 second video posted by his friend Josh, we can see a smiling Daniel walking around school showing off his outfits. In amazement towards Daniel’s sense of style, we can hear Josh saying the now overused phrases “Damn Daniel” and “Back at it again with the white Vans”.

Due to the popularity gained by Daniel and his white Vans, he and Josh were featured on the Ellen DeGeneres show. Naturally, being on Ellen had its perks. Daniel was given a lifetime supply of Vans and Josh was given a surfboard that said “Damn Daniel” on it because he loves to surf.

Although it may seem like this popular meme only brought good things to Daniel himself, “Damn Daniel” has brought more positive things than you would think. 2015 was all about “What are those?,” a meme that pretty much encouraged people to make fun of others’ shoes. Ever since “Damn Daniel” came out, people have been receiving more compliments on their outfits, especially if they’re wearing white vans.

Whether you find “Damn Daniel” as a funny or annoying meme, it has certainly changed how people interact with each other after a new meme comes out. “Damn Daniel” is the only meme that doesn’t involve making fun of others, or their shoes. A Lugo junior mentioned, “The Damn Daniel video was funny at first, but it started to get annoying. The good thing is that nobody will ever say what are those to my white vans anymore”.

Twitter sensation, “Damn Daniel” is something we can finally call a”positive meme”.
