This content was originally created for audio. The transcript has been edited from our original script for clarity. Heads upward that some elements (i.e. music, sound effects, tone) are harder to translate to text.
Jess: It felt like. It felt like beingness on the Titanic for like being on the Titanic and beingness like, I know the iceberg's coming, I know the iceberg's coming, and oh my God, i, two, three. And nosotros're hitting it.
Ben: We are talking to a person we're calling Jess exterior on a Spring twenty-four hour period in March 2021. But they're telling us about a different day. Jan 20th, 2017.
Jess: And information technology was similar v:00 a.1000. or something crazy, which to me is just like that'southward the a**-crack of dawn. Nobody needs to become upward that early on.
Ben: Jess and a friend had traveled hundreds of miles to Washington D.C. specifically for this day.
Jess: Then we go to D.C. like nobody's effectually. Information technology'south, the streets are empty. It's quiet. I accept my photographic camera with me, because when I become to events I dear to take pictures. Information technology's like I think it's actually one mode that as an introvert I tin can like show up somewhere. That's what I've always done when I've gone to protests is take pictures.
Amory: There was a designated area just off Pennsylvania Avenue for protestors.
Jess: And my friend was like, bundle the f*** up considering nosotros're going to be out there all twenty-four hour period and there'south no place to become to warm up.
Jess: And then I had on these like two layers of coats and like all this stuff and simply brilliant green coat.
Ben: And by bright dark-green, Jess really means neon lime light-green. Almost similar a structure worker's uniform, with those reflective stripes running along the arms. When you lot put on a jacket in the morning time, information technology's rare that you think this volition probably be immortalized past the internet...forever.
Jess: Yes, y'all actually couldn't miss me, yous couldn't miss me with that coat on. Turns out…. that color will forever haunt me. Hahaha.
Amory: It was approaching noon, and the street was packed with sign-toting Trump supporters, protesters, and the sounds of pomp and circumstance.
Jess: And they had these huge speakers all the way up and down the street. I mean, it felt similar nosotros were in frickin' like Nazi Germany or something. It was like, all suddenly information technology was only the sound of these voices coming over everything. Information technology was similar, "yous will at present mind to us because nosotros are in control." Oh, yeah, hahaha.
Amory: But equally the bodily inauguration proceedings began, something started brewing within Jess.
Jess: I don't fifty-fifty remember honestly what it was, simply information technology was somebody speaking. I was just like, we're so screwed, this is and then bad. We're in and then deep.
Ben: Missouri senator Roy Blunt kicked off the swearing-in ceremony.
Jess: Please stand for the inauguration, blah blah blah. And I just in my head, I was like, oh hell no. I was like, if there's one matter I can do right now is not stand for this motherf*****, right? So I sat downwardly.
Martin Geissler: I first noticed Jess just a few seconds before Donald Trump was about to take the oath of role.
Amory: This is Martin Geissler.
Martin: And I work as a presenter for the BBC . Simply back at the time of Donald Trump's inauguration, I was a foreign correspondent for ITV News , one of the master Goggle box network news programs in the U.k..
Amory: Martin and his cameraman had been traveling around the U.Southward. for three or four weeks straight in the atomic number 82 upwardly to inauguration day, documenting people's hopes and fears for a Trump presidency. And now, the 24-hour interval — and the moment — were hither, and the emotions for some were loftier.
Martin: I looked about five feet to my right and in that location was somebody on their knees on the basis with their head in their hands.
Jess: Begetting witness to this disastrous moment, was like all I could do. Then I simply saturday there with my eyes closed.
Martin: And it was pretty clear that this person was going to give a reaction. And then I tapped my cameraman on the shoulder and but pointed downwardly and said, look, moving-picture show them. And as presently as the adjuration of office finished, the commentator said, "Donald J. Trump is now President of the United States." And that was the moment.
Jess: And I just. Information technology just came out.
Martin: That was the moment Jess let loose this kind of primal scream
Jess: That was pretty much what happened was I screamed and they caught me. S***. Hahaha.
Ben: I'm Ben Brock Johnson.
Amory: I'm Amory Sivertson, and this is Endless Thread.
Ben: We're coming to you from WBUR, Boston's NPR station. And right now, we're talking about memes.
Amory: Their cultural, historical, and personal impact.
Jess: And I was like, just literally wanted to disappear.
Ben: Today...
Amory: The Scream.
Amory: March 25th, 2021: We run into Jess, who is telling their story for the first time to us, about the scream that meme'd them, four years ago.
Ben: Jess shows up in a Black Lives Affair hoodie. Their hot-pink-streaked hair coiffed up and to i side. They're in their 40s, but they accept a kind of punk rock vibe and youthful free energy. They seemed comfortable, but the nerves are definitely at that place.
Jess: Do you take like sort of a program of like starting with questions and like kind of leading the chat?
Amory: Yes. Yes, we do.
Jess: Aye. Figured.
Amory: Whether we stick to them or non is another story.
Ben: Where we run into was the furthest thing from Pennsylvania Avenue on inauguration day. We were in a woodsy, remote spot, non far from where Jess lives.
Amory: Jess is an artist living in the northeast. And in that location's a reason we're being vague about their bodily name and personal details. Jess has basically been in hiding since 2017, and that moment at President Donald Trump'due south inauguration that led to their screaming face being plastered beyond the internet.
Ben: Unsurprisingly, perhaps, Jess is not a big fan of memes.
Amory: Surprisingly, information technology's not but because they became i.
Jess: Because I didn't grow up with, like, Television receiver and stuff, I always missed the references. And actually so that's been a big thing with me, with memes is like, I don't get it.
Amory: Simply fifty-fifty when Jess doesn't get the joke of a item meme – which, Jess, I feel you – they get what's fundamentally happening.
Jess: As an artist, I can capeesh taking imagery and sharing information technology and changing it and playing off of each other, having the images play off each other.
Ben: Which is how content gets meme-ified. Remember our grouping of meme experts...who we're calling our Meme Chorus? They talked a expert bit about this.
Sarah Laiola: They take off in a way that becomes replicable.
Gianluca Stringhini: So nosotros are not talking well-nigh the same image that'southward shared over and over, but information technology is a variation.
Joan Donovan: Bang-up memes invite you lot to remix them and to add together a dissimilar slogan or to change up the prototype.
Kenyatta Cheese: Then somebody tin can go and say, oh, I can make my ain version. I know how to actually participate in this meme.
Jess: But I gauge that a lot of them feel really lowbrow. And I don't kind of appreciate the crudeness of the quality.
Ben: Being in on the joke is ane thing. Being the joke is another. A particular feeling detail meme subjects know all virtually. And Jess was about to larn, too. But offset, they were mulling the rise of Donald Trump and what to do about it.
Jess: Equally a queer person, as a person in a female trunk, as a person in white skin, as an artist, I have wondered and struggled with, like, how do I brand a difference? Considering I grew up with a lot of, like, political activism effectually me, and I really thought for a long time that I needed to practice some kind of, like, soap soapbox similar. And now I think, you know, "don't you realize?!" similar that kind of free energy of like "don't y'all realize?!" And I was like, you know what? It's just not me.
Ben: So when a friend of Jess' asked if they wanted to drive to D.C. to protest on inauguration day...
Jess: I was like, no. Allow me retrieve near that for a 2nd...NO.
Amory: Just then they thought about why they would go…
Jess: In that location are so many things wrong right at present. Black people being shot, that I'll get for. Like misogyny, climate change, just like all these things that we're like, OK, you know what, I don't really want to, but if I don't bring my voice and stand up for what I believe in like that is the ultimate, similar, lazy white privilege.
Amory: And then back to that moment on inauguration day.
Ben: At that place's a body of water of people standing in the protest surface area, listening to Donald Trump go sworn in as the 45th president of the United States. But Jess is sitting. Cross-legged on the cold, hard pavement, in their neon light-green jacket.
[ John Roberts : Please heighten your right hand and repeat after me. I, Donald John Trump, do solemnly swear.]
[Donald Trump: I, Donald John Trump, do solemnly swear.]
Jess: And and then just sitting there, it just came from that void, that wellspring of agony of the millennia of people beingness wronged and nobody being there to say no or them proverb no and nobody listening. Correct. I'm like, here's this guy that's literally like "take hold of 'em by the p****." And they say, "no." And he laughs. Similar, that's who???
[ Roberts : Preserve, protect, and defend. Trump: Preserve, protect, and defend. Roberts: The Constitution of the Usa. Trump: The Constitution of the United States. Roberts: So help me God. Trump: So help me God. Robert: Congratulations, Mr. President.]
Jess: No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
Ben: But in this very moment on inauguration day 2017, this "no" that was bubbling upward within Jess came out… differently.
[Jess: NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO .]
Ben: Then, it came out again.
[Jess: NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO .]
Amory: And again.
[Jess: NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO .]
Jess: It felt like the Earth opened up and sent this "NO" through me, that was just similar. This needs to be heard at this signal on this planet.
Jess: People told me later that it was similar 12 of them, I think, in a row.
[Jess: NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO .]
Ben: By the third "no" that came pouring out of Jess, they had their artillery straight out to their sides, fingers spread, as if they were giving a command.
Jess: I felt like it was some kind of spell that I was casting. It was similar, I am going to only like button out this energy of "no" and exist similar, "you don't get to practice this anymore."
Amory: But information technology was just the outset – of Trump's presidency, and of something else that Jess never saw coming.
Jess: And then what happened was I opened my optics, and there was – what I experienced as – a sea of video cameras.
Ben: What happened side by side would have Jess going into hiding, in a way, for a good 4 years.
Amory: More than, in a infinitesimal.
[SPONSOR BREAK]
Ben: ITV News reporter Martin Geissler was amid the scrum of cameras capturing Jess and their scream. He had been watching in awe.
Martin: Information technology was a really profound moment considering it wasn't manufactured. It came from somewhere right within this person'due south soul. And when you lot see something like that happen, you kind of take a pace back and let information technology sink in.
Amory: Only not too far of a step back, because Martin and his cameraman were rolling on the whole thing.
Amory: Jess on the ground, shaking their head, face scarlet, mouth fully agape as they push out these "no's" through tears. Information technology is arresting, and if it weren't so out loud and in a crowd, y'all'd remember you were watching the well-nigh private moment of someone'due south life.
Ben: And right after that arresting moment happened, Martin and his producer interviewed Jess briefly. Here's what came out.
[ Jess : I am and then distressing. To my world. I am so sorry to my world. This is not what we want. In that location is and so much potential, um, for beauty and for devastation in this i moment information technology's just most incomprehensible that they can be right at present. It's just so, then close.]
Amory: Imagine having a moment similar this — raw, unfiltered, messy emotion pouring out of you, to the extent that yous're not sure you lot're even stringing sentences together. Nosotros've all had these moments. And if we're lucky, they happen in the arms of a loved ane, or alone in the shower, or basically anywhere other than in public and on camera at arguably the biggest event in the world that solar day.
Ben: When video producers are in the field, they often get permission from their subjects to use the footage. And by the time Martin's producer approached to enquire if they could utilise the footage, Jess was drained and dazed and didn't recollect much of information technology. They didn't know what ITV was anyway.
Jess: So I just was like, "Sure, whatever, use it," um, really not thinking that through, like what that might mean.
Ben: What information technology meant, in this example, is that Jess's scream was going up online for anyone to notice.
Martin: I tin can't remember whether I tweeted it. Uh, I think I probably did.
Amory: And nearly immediately, people found it.
Martin: Nosotros went back to the office and started the edit to put the film together for for that night'southward news. And I think the producer came upwardly at some point during that and said, look, have you seen this information technology'southward going crazy.
Jess: I become this text from somebody that I didn't know super well, you lot know, an acquaintance. "Oh, are you in Washington at the protest? Are yous wearing a green coat?" And I was thinking. "No way he'due south hither. He saw me." I wrote back, you know, "Were you here?" And he didn't write back. And I was simply kind of like, OK, whatsoever. And then somebody else, again, that I don't know super well, just that I know texted me, this was even later that same night and information technology was like, "Exercise y'all know that, like you're like online?," and I was like, "What are you talking well-nigh?" And she's like, "Yep, like your video, the video of you lot." Equally like and it just information technology but fabricated me feel ill.
Ben: Information technology was pretty late at this signal. Jess was staying at a friend's house in D.C., and their friend was already comatose… but Jess was starting to panic. So they went downstairs where their friend'south mom was watching Tv.
Jess: And I walk in and I'1000 like, I need like, "Can I talk to yous?" And, you know, she's somebody that had done plenty of protests in her day and whatever, and she was similar, "Well, you know, it'south non like it's going to be on The Washington Post. Y'all don't need to worry."
Amory: That is some quaint consolation right there. Although, the friend's mom was right. Information technology wasn't The Washington Postal service Jess needed to worry nearly. Information technology was the world wide spider web. Twitter. Facebook. Reddit. Existent news sites. Fake news sites. The Scream was spreading.
Ben: The next day Jess was at the Women's March their green jacket dorsum on amidst a mess of pink hats, when they heard from another friend.
Jess: And she's like, "Already over five million people have viewed it." And my encephalon is just *PEW*. Like, I can't comprehend that number. What does that even mean? V million people have already viewed it. And what have they viewed?
Ben: Jess described the feeling of being in a blackout when they screamed "NO." So recollection that it happened mayhap simply they certainly hadn't seen it. But by then, millions of other people had.
Martin: Information technology was the moment of the day – of a massive day – and it summed up for me what a huge chunk of America was feeling that day. So I'grand not I'g non surprised it went viral.
Ben: From virality it jumped into total-blown memehood. People made it their own, calculation fake captions for the scream in the comments department. Things like, "Vegans when they observe out they are made of meat."
Amory: And, "When people from United kingdom of great britain and northern ireland realize that websites use cookies instead of biscuits."
Ben: And, "Lactose intolerant people when they realize they live in the Milky Style." A lot of this stuff is – you take to admit – kind of funny. But when your particular meme is political, people use you for their own ridicule, which can feel different from the other kinds of meme jokes.
Amory: Some Trump supporters were quick to chalk Jess' reaction up to "liberal fragility," including this YouTuber who added some jazzy piano and wintery clip-art to the original video.
[YouTube video : Cheer upward, snowflake. Everything's going to exist alright. Brought to you by people who are tired of your bulls***.]
Ben: Traveling even further and faster, maybe, were the GIFs and screenshots… screamshots?... of the ballsy "NO."
Jess: You would look upwards "inauguration" and you'd run into pictures of Trump and you'd meet me screaming like that would be what would come up, and that blew my mind.
Amory: People made drawings of Jess' face up. They photoshopped a MAGA lid on their head. Others showed Trump embracing Jess or worse, from behind. In that location are endless iterations. Many of them messed up. Cruel.
Ben: Jess says they had the classic automobile crash reaction to the onslaught of online response. You want to look abroad, you should look abroad...
Jess: But I couldn't cease looking, it was like, oh my God, in that location'southward another meme. And I'd read all the comments and it would just be similar this. I mean, some of the stuff like, I literally won't even repeat it, information technology's then triggering. And I was like, yeah, that's what I'k talking about. Like, there you become. You simply proved why I said all that.
Ben: Jess didn't say much more about this feeling – of existence glued to watching how something they did was being twisted, weaponized, ridiculed exponentially as it flew around the internet. Except, they said it's actually awful what people volition say when making you into a meme.
Amory: At that place is ane iteration, though, that Jess has actually come to appreciate. And fortunately, it's the one that rose to the top to requite the meme its official name in the online meme-cyclopedia Know Your Meme.
Jess: Luke Crywalker.
Ben: If yous have recently resurfaced from being under an actual rock since, say, 1980, boy, do nosotros take a doozy of a Star Wars spoiler for you...
Jess: There's the scene where Luke finds out that Darth Vader is his dad, and he screams "no" in this like fashion that's the style I scream "no!"
[Star Wars clip : Darth Vader: Search your feelings, you lot know it to exist truthful.]
[Luke Skywalker: Noooooooo nooooooooo.]
Amory: Then, of form, someone made a mash-up of the two.
Jess: And I was like, that's just freaking brilliant. I mean, it's funny, right? Considering it's like totally, like, that is then Trump is like Darth Vader like. "Noooooo. That cannot exist my dad. That tin not be my president." That'south impossible.
Ben: Jess also delighted in a more subtle attribute of the Luke Crywalker moniker...
Jess: They couldn't tell my gender. And I am genderqueer. Like, I'yard nonbinary. And so I loved that when people were similar that person or merely even like thinking they were similar being hateful by beingness similar, "Was information technology a daughter? I don't know." It's like, haha. Yep. Y'all don't know, practise you?
Amory: A gender Jedi mind trick. But as any true Star Wars fan knows, Luke'due south weakness is fearfulness.
[ Yoda : Fear is the path to the dark side. Fear leads to acrimony. Anger leads to hate. Hate leads to suffering.]
Jess: I think one of the near painful things almost how it afflicted me personally was I didn't experience safe putting my name out there anymore.
Amory: It'south hard to depict what information technology feels like to be the bailiwick of a meme that blows upwardly. People immediately outset trying to figure out who yous are.
Ben: And where you are.
[YouTube video : If anybody knows where that inauguration screamer is, delight post it below.]
Ben: Depending on their motivations, you might not desire people to find you. Simply people were trying to find Jess. Doxx Jess. Maybe to practice worse than had already been washed.
Jess: Friends were like, take yourself off social media, like people are going to come find yous and want to harass you and potentially injure you like that was the honest like response I was getting from people that knew me and knew this was happening.
Ben: But beyond the fear of any physical damage, Jess was most worried about losing their sense of purpose and even their sense of cocky.
Jess: Part of the process for me was trying to wrap my head around the fact that it wasn't me. It was a person that was screaming "no." Similar it wasn't this personal identity of something about me specifically that was going viral. And because for a long time information technology was like, oh, similar, oh my God, this is so mean or these comments are so violent. It was similar I felt at all like friends and family and my therapist and people kept being like, "You demand to separate yourself from that image."
Amory: Jess wasn't sure how to do that. For a while, they were keeping a listing of all the different Scream memes they came beyond. They thought maybe they could turn it into some sort of work of art.
Ben: Only even that felt insurmountable. Jess couldn't utilise it to their reward. It was too much. Which was obvious to the people effectually Jess.
Amory: We spoke to a few of Jess' friends, and they all said some variation of the same thing: Jess became more timid, more guarded, more selective in who they spoke to and what they were willing to share. Jess didn't reinvent themself or stop making art or become a recluse off the grid. They went into a more emotional sort of hiding. And as a issue, Jess' lite only… dimmed.
Ben: Something that was pretty remarkable actually, in the age of space connection of the internet: The people looking for Jess couldn't discover them.
[YouTube video : Simply the thing is what do we know virtually her? She seems to have completely disappeared from the confront of the planet since that one twenty-four hours where she rode into fame.]
Ben: This is a YouTuber still posing well-nigh Jess'southward image in 2020 almost 3 years subsequently their scream became a meme.
Amory: Jess has felt some regret over shying away from public view after all this, but it has nothing to exercise with money.
Jess: I did not feel like I had information technology in me. Similar, literally, I didn't have the the life force, the free energy in me to get head to head with anyone that wanted to come at me most this. And and I really I felt really bad well-nigh that really for a long time was like, "Really like you lot basically were just given a platform." Y'all could be similar, "Hey, that was me. And here's what I mean." And I'1000 going to say this other thing and I'1000 going to betoken to this thing and I'm going to exist similar, rah rah rah soapbox. Right, fifteen minutes. I got it. And I did zip with it.
Ben: Jess isn't exactly looking for a second shot at that fifteen minutes. As we said, this interview with us? It's the first i they've washed since talking to ITV News iv years ago in the middle of Donald Trump'southward inauguration. And they've been asked earlier. It's a big bargain for Jess, and, a large step. One that Jess feels ready to take in part considering of an epiphany they've had recently about memes.
Jess: I think that memes are interesting in that they're they're an opportunity for people to kind of project onto a shared surface. Right. Like a shared image of shared concept, similar something near themselves, something about themselves that similar, um. It says more about them than information technology says nearly me. And that was interesting to finally, like, annals that.
Jess: I remember that speaks so strongly to the flaws in our civilization, information technology's like anyone that stands up for the underdog, anyone that stands up for themselves, anyone that like wants to speak out on something immoral, it'south like, oh, permit's shame them so that we don't look bad. And I recollect there's something at the root of all that that's but like people missing admission to their own ability. It's like if you don't accept access to your ain "NO" or your ain power and you endeavor to have away other people's and their "no," or their "yes," whatever it is and their power, information technology's like that's dark.
Amory: There's another side to this, though. Because a few months before we sat down with Jess, near exactly 4 years after they became a meme, ridiculed for the way they "accessed their NO" in protestation of Donald Trump's inauguration, we saw a kind of mirror image – much more violent and distorted – come into view.
Ben: Pro-Trump protestors, many of them armed, some of them displaying the imagery of white supremacy, stormed the U.S. Capitol and looted the building, causing destruction of property and committing acts that are currently being prosecuted equally assault and conspiracy. Testimony in court has revealed how rioters beat out and maced law officers and shouted death threats at officers. Things like, "Kill him with his ain gun." Some are calling these acts of treason. Whatever you call it, it'south a far cry from Jess's scream – which was in some ways a scream of resignation – not a trigger-happy resistance to a new regime. Jess's scream didn't hurt anyone. But still again, this intense political moment, where one large group became the IN group and another group felt like it became the OUT grouping – and was not happy nearly information technology – resulted in memes.
Amory: And again, some of those memes inspired uninvited all-out searchers to discover the subjects of them. In some cases, the meme images were used to arrest people. Prosecute them.
Ben: In that location are parallels here, even if it's hard to compare an armed attack on the capitol to Jess screaming "NOOOOO."
Amory: What is worth thinking about is how you can get a meme while trying to observe some agency in the midst of a real or perceived attack on your personal freedom.
Ben: And whoever you are, whatever you believe, when you become a meme, you become a little less human being in the eyes of people seeing the meme – which but drives the wedge between differing political ideologies deeper.
Martin: This conversation has made me think more about this story than I have done at any moment in the terminal 5 years. I hateful, tell me about Jess. You know, how is Jess afterward all of this. And what impact did it have on her? Because I've never had a take a chance to observe out.
Amory: Across the pond, Martin Geissler – the journalist who captured the scream – hasn't followed the meme and its many iterations. But he also hasn't lost sight of the fact that it might not exist at all without him.
Martin: Yeah, it'south a swell ethical and moral dilemma for our industry, isn't it?
Amory: It is interesting thinking about: What responsibility do the people who perchance don't make the memes, simply who make them possible, accept in their existence? Where Martin lands on this, as a announcer, is really pretty uncomplicated.
Martin: If you're request me if I was in the same situation over again tomorrow, would I do the aforementioned thing? Yeah, I would. I would hate it ever to be used as an opportunity to tell people to sanitize and to think carefully about situations like that and possibly agree back from including footage like that, because the wickeder elements online might alter it, manipulate to use it to their advantage because, you know, downwardly the end of that road is the finish of our industry. It'southward not a good identify to go.
Amory: Martin was doing his job. Offer a window into the inauguration – unfiltered, uncensored, unsanitized. Jess had brought their camera in that location that 24-hour interval to exercise the same thing. They just never saw themself existence in the spotlight. And neither Martin nor Jess could have imagined the consequences. Just to reply Martin'south question about how Jess is doing today?
Jess: Honestly, it feels like I got in a bad accident and like my basic have healed. It'due south like, OK, and so I might always have a slight limp around this effect, but I don't want to not do things with my life because this happened. I really, I want to move on.
Amory: The internet is moving on. Don't believe usa? Google me this: "inauguration meme." What exercise you get?
Ben: You get a film of Senator Bernie Sanders – face up masked, legs crossed, hands crossed at the wrist, wearing a pair of comically oversized, handmade, ambrosial mittens.
[ Bernie Sanders : In Vermont, uh we dress warm. We know something about the common cold and we're not then concerned about good fashion, we desire to keep warm.]
Ben: These are dissimilar times for Jess, besides. They're in the procedure of launching a business related to their art – putting themselves out in that location in a big mode. And they're revisiting the idea of making something out of the scream memes and the pictures they took on inauguration twenty-four hour period.
Amory: Jess might fifty-fifty dust off the ol' vivid greenish jacket.
