Rewind is a who's who of internet culture, featuring a variety of zeitgeist-defining personalities - from mainstream celebrities to the world's top YouTube creators to viral video stars. For a sense of scale, Rewind has been viewed over 1 billion times since 2012, and the 2016 and 2017 editions were each viewed over 200 million times.
The YouTube community has always been front and center in Rewind, but this year we took this collaboration to a new level. This year, we gave control to YouTube creators and the YouTube community, taking direction for the storyline of the video from this new generation of talent and even from the YouTube comments section itself.
This year's video features over 100 of YouTube's top creators, including Marques Brownlee, Liza Koshy, James Charles, Casey Neistat, The Dolan Twins, Ninja, Lilly Singh, Emma Chamberlain, Markiplier, Lachlan, WhinderssonNunes, Fischer's, Noor Stars, Pautips, FAP TV and many more. Celebrity appearances includeWill Smith, Trevor Noah, John Oliver, Marshmello, Adam Rippon, and Trixie Mattel.
The video is set to an original music mashup from The Hood Internet featuring some of the top songs and viral hits of 2018 including I Like It, Idol, In My Feelings, High Hopes, and Happier.
