The Rainbow Stalin fad revolves around a misinterpreted lyric from the 2006 song "All this Love" by the Swedish electronic duo The Similou, interpreting the line "rainbow stylin" as "rainbow Stalin." The fad is thus similar to but not the same as Dew Army sites.
The first site in the fad dates back to July 2006 with the original site, Rainbow Stalin by Salta , but it did not gain momentum as a fad until 2009 with dinosaur10's site Reliving a YTMND memory, which gave Rainbow Stalin new life.
Rainbow Stalin sites typically revolve around the song and an image of Stalin that is usually edited to include colors and ravers, re-imagining the feared Soviet dictator as either a raver or a DJ. While the fad's first trickle of sites predominantly made use of Soviet propaganda art, newer sites have incorporated imagery and styles from other fads (e.g., Dew, CRAPTMND, the recent Mike Tyson fad. The "Rainbow" aesthetic probably itself is a spinoff of the [[GAYTMND|GAYTMND] fad.) Several sites have also featured original remixes of The Similou's "All This Love".
Below is a list of notable Rainbow Stalin sites made since dinosaur10's tribute site (not listed in the Worthy Spinoffs section):
