The Asiacopter fad is unique as it was forced by the ytmnd forums. The original site was made on July 8, 2005 by the notorious mod inkdrinker. It showed an Asian teen spinning in the air in his room like he was a helicopter. The song that accompanied it was "Crack Hitler" by Faith No More. Despite the fad's popularity, the site took in a low-rating, probably due to the amount of inkdrinker haters that spawned from his downvoting behavior.
After the original, users from the ytmnd forum forced the fad and more Asiacopter sites spawned, but instead of "Crack Hitler", they used the song "Highwind Takes to the Skies" from Final Fantasy VII. The fad was made popular by the user DrWorm1125. Asiacopter sites either involve the boy flying around various places or alterations to the Asiacopter image.
In the early days, users began a push to force Asiacopter sites to dominate the top 15 to counter the brand-new "One Weakness" fad. At one point, the top 15 was dominated by Weakness and Asiacopter sites.
Inkdrinker has commented before that Asiacopter's success was totally unintentional and that he believed the difficulty of editing an animated picture frame by frame would make Asiacopter impossible to popularize. As a result, it is a very difficult fad to work with and fad sites will rarely spawn.
The song "Highwind Takes to the Skies" was included on Volume 5 of the YTMND Soundtrack.
