| − | '''NEDM''', an abbriviation for '''Not Even Doom Music''', is a YTMND created by moheevi in reaction to YTMND user Spotz giving {{*****}} to a YTMND that showed a kitten being lit on fire while alive. Spotz five starred it because it featured Doom music. As a result, moheevi made the original NEDM site and continued making NEDM sites as a homage that '''"not even Doom music" justifies animal cruelty'''. Several users then made subsequent YTMNDs. The first explanation of the fad was given by Spotz in a forum post, which was then put into a site created by the user pork4eva. A more detailed explanation by user krytycal then followed that explained that NEDM fad is completely against burning cats. The theme music for this fad is Coburn's "We Interrupt This Programme (Jean Claude Ades remix).

| − | ==Background==
| + | |
| − | According to the {{ytmnd|nedminvestigation|NEDM Investigation YTMND}}, a user of the Ogrish.org forums posted a kitten being set on fire. Naturally, the users of the forum were pissed and wanted the poster investigated by the police. The Ogrish administrators banned the poster, who lived in Belgum, and called the authorities as well as {{w|PETA}}. A $1,000 USD reward was posted for the arrest of those responsible for the video. The person who uploaded the film was arrested and the person who burned the cat turned himself in shortly after.

| − | After the arrest, authorities were able to shut down all possible links to the video from the Internet. However, the video somehow made it to YTMND; it was deleted hours after it was posted. YTMND user Titanium-Gecko noticed people actually given the site {{*****}}, so he [[downvote]]d all the sites of those who five-starred the burning kitten YTMND.

| − | One of the people who upvoted the YTMND was Spotz. Although he doesn't condone the actions of the YTMND, he fived it anyway because it featured music from the Doom computer game. Titanium-Gecko downvoted one of Spotz' test sites and left the comment: "Since you do not 'condone' burning kitten your sites have been 3'd until further notice. Still... nothing justifies 5'ing burning kittens. Not even Doom music."

| − | User AwesomeBob uploaded a ytmnd called "{{ytmnd|nedmiscoming|NEDM is coming}}". Similar sites also came out. Not many people understood what the sites meant, because it only showed the letters "NEDM". It wasn't until spotz revealed on the YTMND forums what it was all about. With the full meaning of NEDM exposed, Moheevi created the first NEDM fad YTMND, with the Coburn song.

| − | Many users misunderstood the original concept and purpose of NEDM. It's, by no means, supporting animal cruelty. it simply means "Not Even Doom Music can get you a rating of five stars" (because the site is usually bad or random); NEDM can be applied to anything, not only animal cruelty.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | Because of this, the fad is one of the most varied on YTMND. Most of the time an NEDM YTMND will feature the {{ytmnd|happy-cat|happy cat}}, a sample from 'We Interrupt This Program' (Jean Claude Ades remix) by Coburn, and the sound of the letters NEDM spoken using a text-to-speech program. Often NEDM is used to surprise users by suddenly revealing the happy cat, in sync with the spoken "NEDM" followed by the music track.

| − | ==Chapstick==
| + | |
| − | The original YTMND ({{ytmnd|NEDM}}) contains an image of a firefighter carrying a cat from a burned house, with the firefighter reassuring the cat it wasn't doom music. He then asked if the cat wanted Chapstick. The Chapstick remark spread into a running gag within the fad.
