About
10 Bands I've Seen Live is a social game from Facebook in which the poster lists ten concerts they've attended, one of which is a lie, and invited their friends to guess which one they have not seen.
Origin
On April 25th, 2017, Facebook user Tommy Casserino[1] posted a status that read "Why not?
10 bands that I've seen live – except I'm bullshitting about one of them. Which one is fake?" followed by ten bands (shown below).
Spread
Over the following day, the trend became a massive trend on Facebook, as users copied the format.
However, the wide spread of the trend quickly generated backlash. CNN,[2] The New York Post,[3] New York Magazine,[4] and Slate[5] all claimed the meme was terrible and expressed their exhaustion with it. The frustration quickly inspired parody edits of the format, some of which were also covered by those publications.
