# Monster How Should I Feel Meg Dias Monster Monster is a 2006 Meg & Dia indie rock song that turned into TikTok soundtrack fuel, powering shuffle-dance edits and a viral 2021 green-screen template of an animated face lip-syncing the chorus. The LUM!X remix and the original ballad each fueled distinct meme waves between 2018 and 2021. ## Overview Monster How Should I Feel is an umbrella term for meme formats built around the 2006 Meg & Dia indie rock song Monster and Austrian producer LUM!X's 2017 hard-dance remix of it[1]. The opening line, sung in a breathy alto, is the audio hook that anchors nearly every version[2]. Two strands dominate. The LUM!X remix drives fast-cut shuffle-dance edits and dance challenges, while the original slow arrangement is used for fake talent bits and a green-screen exploitable of a cartoon face mouthing the chorus over user-supplied footage[3]. Editors paste the face onto cartoon characters, celebrities, and random photos while the vocal plays underneath. ## How It Spread Producer DotEXE uploaded an unofficial remix in August 2011 that pulled roughly 16.5 million YouTube views, but the song stayed niche until LUM!X released a bootleg with Eiffel 65's Gabry Ponte on November 9, 2017[6]. The remix went on to rack up over 161 million Spotify streams, and the official 2019 music video passed 50 million YouTube views within two years[3]. A shuffle-dance clip from YouTube channel ELEMENTS on January 24, 2018, kicked off a TikTok dance trend that piled up more than 384,000 videos using the remix by mid-2021[3]. The slow original re-entered rotation in late June 2020 when TikToker _itsnate paired it with a fake talent bit, and creator itsmacdoogle folded it into his Hidden Talent of Mine clips through July and August 2020[3]. On April 12, 2021, TikTok user kendrasworld3_9 posted a green-screen template featuring an animated face singing the chorus, a spinoff of the earlier Green Screen Eyes trend[3]. A reply repost climbed past 1.4 million views. YouTube edits followed within days: an April 24 compilation from Pokemon oc drew about 884,000 views, and a Mcstabler repost on April 26 cleared 2.6 million[3]. ## How to Use For the green-screen version, creators typically overlay kendrasworld3_9's animated face onto a photo or clip of a cartoon character, celebrity, or friend, letting the mouth movements sync with the opening chorus of the original Meg & Dia recording[3]. Shuffle-dance edits usually cut hard-stepping footage to the drop of the LUM!X remix rather than the ballad[6]. ## Frequently Asked Questions ### What is Monster How Should I Feel Meg Dias Monster?
