The meme has not only spread inside of Rolling Lounge, but also affected other servers like MediaPlay Discord.

This audio file was recorded on a Samsung Galaxy J7 2016 on Android 8.1.0, a device which had a voice recording program preinstalled which had the feature to loop specific parts of an audio file. This was discovered by AZMindroma and shown to his sister, upon which she did a lot of experimenting and playing around with the audio files AZ had on his phone. At the time she had also decided to do the same with AZ's audio file he just recorded, and cropped it in a way where from the word "welche" in the sentence you could only hear "elche", which meant "Moose" in german. The siblings found this funny and therefore became a meme inside of the family beforehand. They also wanted to share this sort of meme with the internet in AZ's newfound channel, for which a basic moose drawing was drawn in the mobile app FlipaClip. Reference couldn't be used due to the abscence of any internet connection as they were located in Turkey, and due to neither of them knowing how a moose looked like, it got its inaccurate form. Over this drawing AZ yelled the word "Elche!" and uploaded it on his YouTube Channel, which can still be accessed here. This 1 second video surprisingly got a lot more attention than the rest of his videos, and therefore he continued doing content with moose. | This audio file was recorded on a Samsung Galaxy J7 2016 on Android 8.1.0, a device which had a voice recording program preinstalled which had the feature to loop specific parts of an audio file.

This continued on YouTube, until AZMindroma joined a Discord server called '''DerNerdiTV''', a server created for the local german animator community where AZ also wanted to partake in. In that server he met '''NichtNils''', another german animator. Once meeting, they found each other sympathetic and became friends closely after. At this time AZ introduced NichtNils to his moose meme, which NichtNils found appeal in. They continued making jokes about the audio and the look of the moose itself, until NichtNils came up with the idea of making a "religion" out of it, and therefore the first Discord server related to moose was created in October 23rd of 2017. They began making a cult about mooses even outside of the server, which popularized mooses in the local community there. Often it was seen as an annoyance due to the unfitting and annoying nature of the moose's promotion, upon which it was often called a "sect". | |||
This held on until the hype around Mooses slowly declined in this local german animator community. When that decline was active, AZ however joined the [[Rolling Lounge]] server and became active there. In the server, he posted an image of the moose while SHAvibe and he were talking, upon which SHAvibe asked whether it should be added as an emote. Like that, the moose emoji was one of the first emojis ever created in the server. It was questioned by the community but found funny nonetheless, and it got the same appeal that mooses had in the previous community, even more in some cases. This moose then was posted a lot of times by not only AZ, but other members as well who liked the idea of obsessing over something like that due to the sheer repetition of the phrase and the way the drawing looked, and soon after the community was heavily impacted by it. Upon AZ getting staff, this was even heavier reinforced due to his high position in the server. | |||
Soon the rising community would also proceed to make fanarts of mooses due to how simple it was to draw and the relatively creative way it looked like. This would stack up to eventually over 40 fanarts, which were then compilated in the two MEE6 commands '''!mooses''' and '''!mooses2'''. The promotion of these fanarts resulted in even more drawings and also cameos in other videos. This also resulted in the community spreading mooses around not only in Rolling Lounge, but also other servers in the local community like Rhythm Games Hub, The Bite-Sized (formerly Crafty Mike Discord) and MediaPlay Discord. | |||
