      The shit going on in the gym and whatever entity or collection of entities doesn't come forth in anymore than a tiny vague bit of motive to acting out what is ultimately a catastrophic end of reality/destruction of reality scenario where 2+2 no longer equals 4.

    The 76 scps are a excellent depiction of the danger of nostalgia, from ignoring the issues of the time to forcing the memory to be real and rwalising far too late that everyone rembers it differently.

    • @paganofthenorth448

      I view them as a vicious and cruel deconstruction of people’s past. While the atmosphere and literal reading of them are enjoyable, thinking about their meta meaning betrays the writer’s opinion: the past must be soiled and debased so that the present and future seem like better times than they are. The joy and sense togetherness of communities in times past never existed, see I wrote this fictional story to deconstruct them and skew your perceptions of them.

      Why not both?
      Nostalgia is a deeply personal experience and seeing it from the outside can make people view things in a much more negative light making it out to be worse.
      Basically: there were people with happy memories playing with their siblings while their parents kept their front door locked due to a serial killer in the area. Both nostalgia and anti-nostalgia exist in the same moment. Trying to make a personality judgment on a writer is a failure of critique.

    SCP!!!
    Alto Clef may be one of them in this canon!
    The Mantauk House SCP presented Clef as a reality-bender that can imprint his memories in physical space, he is someone who always changes his facial appearance when being documented, and his name is the only connection that ties him to music.
    After all, someone needed to activate SCP 2000.

      @frostingthebirthdayclown3774 Před 2 měsíci +9

      It would SEEM that the men in suits and Syncope are different groups, Syncope does instruments, not yearbooks, Also Syncope's goals seem seem to to contradict the foundation as if 2000 was used, things were dire and Foundation members of anyone would understand the necessity, also for all their bureaucracy Foundation arent really ever associated associated with the classic suit and tie, I'm sure they logically would but hardly anyone outside of the O5s are typically depicted as such. With how specifically the suits are called out i would think it was significant context to who they wind up being. Suits are typically associated with Gmen, or business men. This tale seems to rule out US gov as the instigator, since they were investigating, sooooo MCD? But it doesnt match their motive so who knows. I hope we someday get a conclusion.

    I always find the class of 76 as a group and concept to be really emotionally effecting. It makes me feel scared and sad in a way I have a hard time explaining. I think it’s probably because nostalgia and memories and youth as a concept have a lot of personal connection to me specifically. And the class of 76 take all those ideas and twists them into something malignant and melancholy both.
    Either way I still enjoy hearing about them. Art is supposed to invoke strong feelings.

  • @Michael-eb8nf
    @Michael-eb8nf Před 2 měsíci +35

    My best working theory so far about the nature of this event is that it is the unfortunate convergence of several SCPs:
    In the previous iteration of the world, before the use of SCP 2000, Carolyn Kirk was a fledgling reality bender. The men in black who delivered a modified version of the yearbook to her house were actually the previous iteration of the Foundation, and the book was actually the original version before Carolyn had made changes. The Foundation was the first organization I thought of when considering who would have the ability and will to retroactively remove a person from history for being a nuisance to them. They wanted to see Carolyn's reaction to the changed book and perhaps catch her in the act of using her powers. She was at the school that night comparing it to other copies and trying to figure out why it was different, why it had not changed like the others. She ran back into the building and the fire spread. In her dying moments, as she burned, an uncontrollable burst of reality-bending power affected the book, the school, and the entire senior class. She vented power with her death rattle at basically everything she had spent that evening studying and scrutinizing.
    Syncopy Symphony is an SCP that tries to bring back forgotten memories. An apocalypse forced the world to be reset, and before all that, a reality bender had remade the world around her high school an unknown number of times. The Foundation drugged up all the residents to rewrite their memories before erasing the town completely. There are layers upon layers. Adding Syncopy Symphony to that is like throwing a match on a tangled pile of kindling.

    • @mattwoodard2535
      @mattwoodard2535 Před 2 měsíci +3

      The problem is that it wasn't the Foundation that wiped the town, it was the FBI that did it. Also it's the Foundation that points out that Carolyn Kirk was listed as being dead. If the Foundation did it, they would know. Syncopy Symphony and maybe some other forces are involved, but it seems that the Foundation was a late comer to this and has no real clue what happened. And the Foundation certainly wouldn't go and try to trigger a Type Green. sm

    • @BertoxolusThePuzzled
      @BertoxolusThePuzzled Před 2 měsíci

      They wouldn't be a THIS Foundation, but an iteration from an earlier world that was replaced by SCP2000 at some point. The school being anomalous allowed a bunch of what are essentially sentient memories to stick around through whatever disaster was happening and now they are desperately trying to find a way to insert themselves into THIS worlds history by making people remember them until they can remanifest physical bodies FROM those shared memories. At least that's how I understand it anyways.

    The Syncope shit is the freakiest, and haunting thing in the whole of the foundation files.
    The other SCPs that are intertwined with it.
    The one that has to do with the gym where youre reading it yourself and the text starts to seemingly change but it starts to become clear its you and your mind that's changing.
    Its such a sinister, disturbing thing with inexplicable events that happen such as more miscarriages happening and the percentage of pregnancy ending in miscarriage skyrockets.
    The sighting of children floating in the sky torward the center of the phenomenon.
    99 percent of the class are in the gym and it comes down to one more being the thing that causes a fatal end of reality scenario which freaks me the fuck out.
    All fhat and the reason and the entity doing it doesn't even have a clear motive other that being sinister and wanting to tear everything that exists apart.
    Even itself.

    I find the everything connected to this absolutely fascinating! Kirk lonwood high school, the class of ‘76, the school band, the yearbook, the photograph, and Syncopy Symphony, all have this vagueness that almost tells a full story. I had to listen to this twice just to see if there was anything else I could discover. Like a detective trying to piece together fragments of something from long lost memories. It seems this school was subject to some sort of experiment from Syncopy Symphony that was a direct result of something the foundation did. There is vague connection to SCP 2000 which an apocalyptic event happened and everything was “reset”. From what I gather someone was left behind and was trying to bring back something that was forgotten. Trying to remember forgotten past and nostalgia is a big part of the whole series. Even vague notions of these “ghosts” blaming the foundation for trying to make things disappear. Why this school and the events that happened in ‘76 is still a complete mystery. Only Syncopy really knows what’s going on and they seem to have vanished almost completely, much like the graduating class

    A bunch of very interesting tidbits and connections to other djkaktus SCPs (including other '76 anomalies) that I've noted:
    -The MIB have certainly gotten to the police chief, as he continually denies and incessantly repeats what almost sounds like a pre-made script; it's also possible that his mind was altered in some way, due to his confusion. It's implied that one of the MIB are actually inside the interrogation room, unseen to all but the chief to make sure he stays obedient.
    -The MIB also used Cotter, likely using his scheme as a cover for their fire-based plans. They then confronted Cotter to cover their tracks, most likely threatening his family; Cotter agreed to protect his parents as well as out of guilt (though it's not certain if his dreams are his from his conscience or something made by the MIB). The MIB then set fire to the cabin; Cotter couldn't have done this without his lighter, which was left in the field during the school fire (the cigarettes were likely lit and left by the agent to make it seem Cotter had a means of starting the fire).
    -The book itself contains the living memories of the high school (though it's not certain if it is Carolyn' work alone and/or the work of the MIB, though it's likely the latter). The visions they impart consists of both flames and water, representing the deaths by fire and drowning at the lake, all trapped due to the MIB; the scarred girl is possibly Carolyn herself. Delving into the memories, the D-Class probably encountered information that required the MIB to silence her by setting her cell alight. The charred figure in the burned photo may be Carolyn herself, though the drawing held is a mystery (the figure probably isn't the D-Class, since the figure is wearing a white dress).
    -Pendleton's son Will was clearly a victim of 2316, having been transformed into one of the bodies, though it's not certain how he left the lake (assuming he left at all). Given his father's insistence, it could be that he passed on, though that's an admittedly thin likelihood.
    -The memory of two women was altered significantly by the MIB; the cameras are obviously anomalous, as with most to all of the pictures taken by them, resulting in the warping of both reality and memory, though it's left a mystery of what exactly is inside the casket (if Carolyn's body is in there, it's certainly no longer human). One of the women forgot the children either due to the MIB erasing her memory of them in the moment of the interview, or they made it impossible for her to conceptualize the children existing beyond the moment he took that photo.
    -As for Carolyn's mother, her history was changed when she revealed a sensitive fact about the MIB that confronted her, hinting that he's not quite human, and if he is, he's not a normal one.
    -The MIB seems to mainly kill, kidnap, erase and/or transform people when they discover something that is absolutely vital to the Corporation. The Corporation's MIB possibly possess some powerful and highly-controlled pyrokinetic abilities, with their victims' remains never found due to either being incinerated completely or being somehow disappeared. They changed history to have Carolyn's mother killed, though it's interesting to note that she died after Carolyn was born, since they needed Carolyn alive to carry out their plan for some reason. For that matter, it may even be that the MIB have gotten to even the UIU, as their obviously BS remarks near the end feel suspiciously forced and scripted. If the Corporation actually DID get to the UIU, that would explain why the UIU documentation for the lake was heavily redacted, as not only does it seem to describe what took place, but they even seemed to refer to the Corporation by name. This may have been the work of the two detectives that disappeared.
    -There is phenomena described in this article that is similar to others. First of all, there is, of course, the facial distortion. Then, with Will Pendleton, there's the unrecognizable bodies. The two detectives at the end are turned into floating shadows similar to the cheerleaders in 3935, the tragic secret of Salvation High School. A surprising one, however, is the allusion to SCP-2740, the hateful attic, also written by djkaktus. The house is definitely the same one that the detective mentions in his report, and the really stunning part is when you look back at the article after reading this one.
    The hatred that built up in the house and centered in the attic was caused by the conflict between the parents and their daughter, Olivia. The parents state that they merely argued; however, Olivia, when interviewed, states that on the night she left, her parents had entered her room in her sleep (implying they were about to attack her) until she backed them off with a knife, something her parents absolutely DID NOT mention. The attic anomaly truly emerged - a side-tale reveals that her parents, while backing off, didn't make eye-contact with her at all, as if they weren't themselves or her parents at all. The house never seemed to let the family leave, as if it were payback for all the hate they made it soak up. I long suspected that 2740 is a history-changing anomaly, making it so that they never tried to leave or investigate. As a stand-alone article, I thought that the anomaly erased Olivia due to breaking the rule of "we don't talk about it", though that changed with this article; considering the similarity, it's completely unknown what the anomaly truly is and what the Corporation has to do with it.
    When the Foundation seemingly finds and interviews Olivia, they afterwards discover that she never existed to begin with....just like with Carolyn's mother.
    As TES states near the end, it uncertain if the Foundation is better off investigating this tragedy further or letting it fade away, as it seems that the Corporation's Men in Black are still around and are actively stalking, killing and erasing anyone that gets too close to what they are trying to hide.

    I find Class of 76 as one of the most terrifing and misterious narrative in the SCP so far. It is not XK-class scenario however there is nothing Foundation could do exept containing, there is active mallicous intent behind it with time and space capabilities, no explanation and confusing. Only other SCP that gave such creeps are the glasses of 178 and still there are only as dangerous as much you are poking it. And also two most prollific explanation of Syncopy Synfony GI and bunch of post SCP-2000 children ghosts are somewhat excluding themselves.

    The lake and the yearbook represents nostalgia. music bringing back something lost. The corporation, especially in the context of a small town, represents the end of that. Time thats ground into a blur of clock in & clock out, only leaving what is.
    It might be saving us but not without cost, and likely a terrible benefits package.

      It's in another SCP. It basically reveals that Syncope is a bunch of kids who became reality benders in an alternate universe that was destroyed by SCP-2000.
      Since the SCP Foundation erased them from existence, they create anomalies at high schools (since it's what they're familiar with).
