“Hello” by OMFG is a 2014 electronic dance music track created by Loell Bergen, known for its simple, cheerful, and incredibly catchy melody. It became the unofficial anthem of early gaming content on YouTube, soundtracking countless Roblox, Minecraft, and Fortnite videos thanks to its copyright-friendly status and upbeat energy. The song defined a generation of young creators and remains one of the most recognizable EDM tracks in meme and gaming culture.

What is “Hello by OMFG” and Why is It So Special?

The first time I listened to “Hello by OMFG”, I had no idea it was about to change my perception of electronic music forever.
Before discovering OMFG (Loell Bergen), for me, this genre was just “the stuff that played at the gym or random clubs.” I didn’t see the charm… until one day in 2014, YouTube showed me a colorful thumbnail with an irresistible smile.

I hit play.
Boom.
A simple, catchy, happy, and incredibly contagious melody. And before I realized it, I was already smiling.

Why Did OMFG Become a Phenomenon?

What hooked me wasn’t just the music itself, but the message it conveyed.
While many artists focused on heavy drops and complex productions, OMFG bet on minimalism, playfulness, and most importantly: accessibility.

It was as if he was saying:

“Hey, music doesn’t have to be serious. You can have fun. You can play.”

This, combined with the explosion of Roblox gameplays (see The Sound of a Generation: Music in Roblox), Vine memes, and Minecraft and Fortnite videos, catapulted his music.
Guess what played in those videos? Correct: “Hello.”

OMFG also gained popularity because:

  • His melodies are easy to remember.
  • The positive tone fit perfectly with gaming and humor environments.
  • Early on, many YouTubers could use his music without copyright issues.

Thanks to this, thousands of young creators made content without fear of being penalized, using “Hello” as their creative anthem.

How “Hello” Inspired Me to Make Music

Struck by that cheerful vibe, I learned OMFG’s big lesson:

  • You don’t need to be Beethoven to connect with people.
  • What matters is the energy you transmit.
  • And above all, don’t take yourself too seriously.

…and many years later, I decided to try my luck with music.

So far, I’ve created several songs, and some are starting to attract more listeners.

I’ve also decided to create a new version of the song Hello, because I believe it’s a unique style we shouldn’t lose.
There are too many fans of this style to let it fade away, and lately, I think we’ve been lacking in awesome tracks like this.

The Legacy of “Hello” in the Gamer and Meme Worlds

“Hello by OMFG” wasn’t just a viral song:
It was a statement of principles for a whole generation of creators.

From Roblox to Fortnite, from Vine to TikTok, OMFG’s music still resonates because it represents something essential: uncomplicated fun. That same spirit of joy lives on in tracks like the Lava Chicken Song from Minecraft and the Break a Lucky Block anthem.

And if someday I manage to create the soundtrack for a viral game or an epic meme, it’ll be thanks to that magical moment in 2014 when, unexpectedly, I found a little “Hello” that changed my life.
