# Dj P0N 3 Vinyl Scratch DJ P0N-3, better known as Vinyl Scratch, is a background unicorn character from My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic who became a fandom favorite after appearing on screen for less than five seconds in a 2011 episode. Fans on the blog Equestria Daily voted on her name in a February 2011 poll, and YouTube quickly filled with dubstep remixes, fan comics, and looped video edits set to electronic music. ## Overview Vinyl Scratch, also called DJ P0N-3, is a background unicorn character from My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic whose brief cameo in a Season 1 episode kicked off an outsized fan following built around dubstep tracks, YouTube remix videos, and fan art that filled in the personality the show never gave her[3]. With her spiky electric-blue mane, purple sunglasses, and music-note cutie mark, Vinyl Scratch is a heavily drawn background pony in the MLP fanbase[4]. Fan works often pair her with a cellist earth pony named Octavia to play a DJ-versus-classical culture clash and cross her over in art with real-world DJs Daft Punk and Deadmau5; the parody name 'Deadhor5' was one of the fan-suggested names for Vinyl Scratch in the original Equestria Daily poll[1]. ## How It Spread YouTube edits picked up almost immediately after fans settled on the name. Uploaders looped the short clip of Vinyl Scratch bobbing her head over dubstep drops, house tracks, and remixed show music, with later derivatives adding heavier lighting and playback-speed tweaks[3]. Hasbro made the fan name official in early 2012. On February 11 of that year, the company's My Little Pony Facebook account announced a Vinyl Scratch toy sold as 'DJ Pon-3,' making her the first background pony added to the official toy line; that May, a Czech producer launched a fan-run YouTube channel called VinylScratchDJPony that pulled in nearly 5 million views by April 2014 with in-character songs and dubstep tracks[3]. Vinyl Scratch got two more short show appearances after her debut. In the Season 2 finale 'A Canterlot Wedding,' she briefly lifted her glasses, revealing purple eyes and settling a long fan debate over her canon eye color; most fanart had drawn them red until then[4]. She later returned as a humanized character in Hasbro's 2013 Equestria Girls spin-off film[4]. ## How to Use Vinyl Scratch works as a fandom subject rather than a fill-in template. Common fan creations include original dubstep and electro tracks tagged with her name, YouTube video loops built around her few seconds of screen time, and comics pairing her with the cellist earth pony Octavia to play up their opposite music tastes[4]. ## Frequently Asked Questions ### What is Dj P0N 3 Vinyl Scratch?
