{"id":"21-kid","name":"21 Kid","summary":"The 21 Kid is an internet meme originating from a 2013 Vine video in which a man asks a young boy \"What's 9+10?\" and the boy confidently answers \"21.\" The clip spawned countless remixes, parodies, and a massive cultural moment on September 10th, 2021 (9/10/21), when the internet collectively celebrated the date when \"9+10 really equals 21.\" It's one of Vine's most enduring exports and a defining meme of the early-to-mid 2010s.","tags":["21 kid","viral video 2013","Drake dance","children video","vine trends","youtube viral"],"howToUse":["**Direct quote/reference**: Simply dropping \"21\" as an answer to any math-related question, or captioning an image with the \"What's 9+10?\" exchange.","**Audio remixes**: Taking the original Vine audio and mashing it with popular songs or other meme sounds. The Bobby Shmurda remix set the template for this approach[3].","**Video edits**: Splicing the 21 Kid into unrelated footage, often as a punchline or reaction. The 2019 wave popularized \"Not Funny, Didn't Laugh\" and \"Awesome, He Finally\" formats using stills from the Vine[3].","**Date-based jokes**: Any reference to the number 21, or specifically 9/10 as a date, often invokes the meme. The September 10th, 2021 event showed this at its peak[3]."],"imageCount":2,"nsfw":false,"images":[{"url":"https://fcdtoybbbn2ccxbp.public.blob.vercel-storage.com/images/21-kid/21-kid-vine-math-question.webp","caption":"21 Kid","width":500,"height":500,"nsfw":false},{"url":"https://fcdtoybbbn2ccxbp.public.blob.vercel-storage.com/images/21-kid/21-kid-vine-confident-answer.webp","caption":"21 Kid","width":400,"height":400,"nsfw":false}],"historyUrl":"https://fcdtoybbbn2ccxbp.public.blob.vercel-storage.com/images/21-kid/history.md","related":["mlg-montage-parodies","100-men-vs-gorilla","baneposting","challenge-accepted","double-rainbow","nope-chuck-testa","honey-badger","lazy-town","aint-nobody-got-time","10-guy","cat-on-roomba","harlem-shake"],"popularityRank":442,"license":"Meme images and history: templates, screenshots, photos and fan edits, many of copyrighted material or real people.
