There's only 3 stages... 1. You listen. 2. You memorize all the lyrics. 3. You're obsessed and quote it during every waking moment.

you forgot -get extremely invested in your apush class -cry when the last question on your apush quiz is "who did aaron burr kill in the famous duel on July 11 1804?" -never see thomas jefferson the same way again -know waaaay too much about the 1790s

Once I went to therapy for listening to Hamilton constantly and my therapist said "You've been listening to hamilton non-stop, you need to take a break."

"WhY iM i CRyiNG ovEr A fOunDIng fATher???" Can relate.

I went to a doctor to ask how to stop listening to hamilton. He said 'Look around, look around at how lucky you are to be alive right now'

Me: **starts singing hamilton** Friend: you're weird Me: NEVER UNDERESTIMATE THE POWER OF HAMILTON

Everyone else’s talent: useful My talent: can rap guns and ships

Me: Mom I need to get over my Hamilton obsession My mom: *you’re on your own* Me: *awesome wow*

I watched Hamilton online, but I wanna be in the room where it happened.

You wonder why you're crying over a founding father? I'M NOT EVEN AMERICAN!!!!

Stages of loving Hamilton: *Hears about it *Listening to the soundtrack *Watching the Animatic *Listening to it again knowing the lyrics *Watches edits *Reads Lams fanfiction *Watching fan arts *Tell all my friends about it *Following Lin on social media *Watching Hamilton as Vines and memes *Watches this video

“Why am I crying over a founding father” is the truest part of this whole video

I doing my pacer test, and my friends screams at me "DO IT FOR HAMILTON" Then we both yell, "THAT WOULD BE ENOUGH" *the whole class stared at us and now think we have serious issues...*

Hi its me and I AM FREAKING OUT BECAUSE LIN SAW THIS

these were my stages -- 1 - my best friends all get into it 2 - then they try to get me into it 3 - I say no 4 - second attempt 5 - keep refusing 6 - repeat 2 & 3 until I hear first burn 7 - I listen to first burn over and over 8 - i shift over to the actual musical 9 - keep listening to it 10 - became obsessed

5:23 “tWO BOWLS OF CEREAL, BUT IM WORKIN ON THREE”

" _Why do you write like you're running outta time?_ " " *_IT'S FINALS WEEK._* "

My stages of being obsessed with Hamilton 1) Memorizing all the songs 2) Watching all the interviews and every youtube video that ever existed about any of the actors 3) Watching Hamilton vines 4) Making my best friend listen to Hamilton 5) My best friend being obsessed with Hamilton 6) Us singing Hamilton together 7) Not listen to the musical for a long time and then be like "Hey I haven't heard this in a long time" 8) Repeat the cycle

After watching it on Disney+ i went from to stage 1 to stage 1000 real quick.

Acting could be better, but this was a supprisingly accurate depiction of how I learnt about it

Literally wrote an essay for school the other day and ended it with "Who lives, who dies, who tells your story." Save me

Friend: What’s your biggest accomplishment in life? Me: I know and can rap Gun and Ships from Hamilton. *slowly put sunglasses on*

Who’s here after the Disney + film😌👏🏻

Me messaging the non theatre kid groupchat before I go to bed: *Well, I'm going back to bed*

Hamilton is basically about making us cry about people that died 200 years ago... And it gets the job done.... ;-;

"Brought to you by Hamilton trash." Oh I didn't know I was in this video.

My phone background is like actually the Hamilton like logo...

When she was counting like when Philip died I thought she was gonna scream 💀

I went through all of the stages within 24 hours..

Me: this is over exaggerated Me halfway in: OH GOD WHY IS THIS TOTALLY ME

The stages of becoming obsessed with Hamilton (my version) 1. Ur mom starts listening to it and u hear it everyday. 2. U r forced to go to a Hamilton show and get bored. 3. Then ur mom keeps listening to it. 4. U hear ur mom singing it every second of every day. 5. U start liking it. 6. U become a fan, but keep it a secret. 7. U learn everything about Hamilton 8. U start listening to it in front of ur mom. 9. Now ur a BIG, GIGANTIC, MASSIVE FAN. 10. U correct ur mom every time she sings something wrong.

Now we have to figure out how to add in another step.... you watch it on repeat on Disney+ And learn the lyrics from the subtitles!!!!

i’m the friend that is obsessed.....but then i just realized that im both french and canadian....so...... MON AMI JUMAPELLE LAFEYETTE!ZE LANCELOT OF THE REVELOUTIONARY SET

This is EXACTLY how I got into Hamilton. My friend made me listen to Schuyler Sisters and the rest history!

First time I listened to Hamilton I cried. Actually I cry every time.

“Awesome, wow” When you watch for the first time and know the lyrics

"WHY DO YOU WRITE LIKE YOU'RE RUNNING OUT OF TIME?!" "It's finals week" Me to my bf lol

Jona: *crying* Elise: Wanna listen aga- Jona: *YES*

Welcome to the obsession! My daughter tried to get me to listen to this for 3 weeks and the stages of obsession are right. It was exactly how you described it. Now my daughter and I will randomly start singing it throughout the day!

It’s 2019 about to be 2020 and I’m still obsessed with it

She does hit the "YEAAAH" in helpless😂😂

when you've hit all stages and more because now you know every word and every ship and literally everything that's when it's not just a passion anymore, it's a lifestyle.

This is me except I'm the friend who got my friend obsessed

I know all the lyrics and use them every day. who just starts to like Hamilton then apply for a job. What if it is a kid who likes Hamilton

am i the only one who cried the first time i heard "who lives who dies who tells your story" ?

I'm sorry, but I died of laughter at this: "We should try something a bit more our speed..." "You're right!" *Plays You'll be back* LOL IT'S SUCH A SLOW SONG! XD

For me: Stage 1:friends were obsessed Stage 2: the told me it was great and I should listen to it but I said no cuz I didn’t have time Stage 3: I heard about Hamilfilm and was like sure I’ll watch it Stage 4: obsession

This is so perfect! Four years ago when I heard this show for the first time, I watched this video that same day. Now, four years later, I just saw Hamilton live in San Francisco and your video came up again! What a beautiful cycle! This was the first video I saw of yours and have loved your content ever since.

I didn’t cry over the final song listening to the soundtrack. Seeing it on stage and seeing Eliza’s final moment DEMOLISHED MY SOUL.

If I could see the musical in person...that would be enough (I'm sorry)

My mom became obsessed. Then she kept playing it. When it came to disney+, me and my brother watched it. Now I'm obsessed.

2:11 in one or two seconds you summarized everyone’s reaction to the Reynolds Pamphlet.

"do you like girls? you're going to hell!" love doesn't discriminate between the siners and the saints and it takes, and it takes and it takes

So yesterday my aunt was like why do you assume your the smartest in the room in a completely normal context and I and her both burst out laughing

i've watched hamilton over 7 times, but i will never be satisfied **incoherent sobbing**

This is the most charming video I think I have ever seen on KZfaq. I think I'm stuck on an endless loop of Steps 4 through 6.

My friend showed me heathers. I showed him hamilton. Now we can do some jokes he didn't undertood like: I'M NOT TROW AWAY MY SHOT!

No one knows about Hamilton, my friends don't like it. So I'm just singing around school, alone in my loneliness :c

i hasnt watched your videos and i just want to thank you cause you guys where my LIFE when i was obsessed with hamilton

This is so true when u first listen to it and the end makes you cry over and over again then I learned the script and went over it so many times

Me today: *thinking:* Well, since Hamilton is everywhere, I guess I'll just listen to it... On monday, at school: *screams* I WILL NEVER BE SATISFIED, SATISFIEEED

14. Looking at fan art 15. researching everything about it 16. shipping 17. LAMS 18. reading fanfiction 19. writing fanfic 20. thinking about it 24/7 21. LAMS LAMS LAMS LAMS 22. John laurens in general tbh

You are HILARIOUS! This is my first time watching this and shit, you guys are funny! I'm loving this. First time watching this and- is that 1 million hits? Ok, you people are my new favorite thing!!!

This video is freakishly accurate. You guys did amazing!!

If you're crush rejects you, just send them a link the song "You'll be Back". Nothing shows more compassion than saying "I'll kill your friends and family to remind you of my love"!

Tbh the ending song didnt make me cry because when it was playing i was still crying about Philip

I’m currently going through these stages right now as we speak!! Thank you ladies!!

Don’t forget learning every little detail in the show and watching all the cast complications at least 3 times

Don’t worry Elise, you’ll get the role someday someday, and you’ll blow us all away

WHY AM I CRYING OVER A FOUNDING FATHER!!!!!!!!!!! :(

My friend was obsessed with it for a while so I finally listened- I didn’t like it at first but now I’m absolutely obsessed

My stages were: 1: My friend is obsessed and plays it constantly *Two years later* 2: I'm scrolling on KZfaq and come along a single song from Hamilton, I listen to a few songs occasionally. *6 months (ish) later* 3: I come across another Hamilton song (I think it was Aaron Burr, Sir) and I fall in love with Lafayette's character 4: Total obsession

in the elevator scene there I was hoping you would start singing "Rise up, rise up, rise up!"

1:05 She could have totally said ''I'll be back...'' :^>

i remember watching this over and over when it first came out... and i just got recommended it again... and the nostalgia is SO STRONG

I absolutely love this you guys are so fun felt like I was hanging out with you 😂😂

Step 14: You get sent to the principal for listening to the soundtrack during class. Step 15: You argue that it's basically social studies with musical numbers. 16: Your mom takes away all gadgets as punishment. 17: You cry into your pillow for a week straight.

Dude, the second after I finished the whole soundtrack, I fell so hard into the Hamilton pit, and the way it looks, I won't be getting out for a very long time

I saw it on Disney plus watched it 12 times then I forced all my friends to watch it and now every time they come over we watch it and sing every single line.

The 10 stages of loving Hamilton: 1. Listen to it 2. Praise the Lin 3. You don’t throw away ur shot 4. You watch videos of guess the song and get them all right 5. Eat goldish brownish food 6. Go to Walmart and buy meech 5: DA DA DA DA DAAAAAAAA

These were my stages: 1) My friend started singing “Schuyler Sisters” in class 2) I looked the lyrics up 3) found it 4) listened to it 5) liked some songs 6) decided it was time to dedicate 2 hours and listen to the whole musical instead of ten songs 7) loved all of them 8) learned all the words(The raps too) 9) made my family listen 10) “stalked” the cast 11) treated $10 bills like gold 12) became obsessed with history (didn’t last long because I soon realized history was low key kinda boring) 13) convinced my Nana to take me to see it! ❤️(thanks Nana!) 14) tried to find classmates who also had the same love for Hamilton as I did (There are like 4😂) 15) still obsessed and I’m proud of it!! (It’s been 3 years) I know this was long😂😁

Me: *cries at "who tells your story"* Mom: you just watched Hamilton? Me: yep... Mom: And you just watched the end? Me: yeah.... Mom: im getting you a tub of icecream, you're crying harder than a teenager with a heartbreak! Me: but mother... IT IS A HEARTBREAK!

BEAUTIFUL!! Thank you guys

1. Watching Hamilton so many times I lost count. 2. Watching all the reaction videos on KZfaq for company. 3. Watching the cast & crew winning their Tony awards.

I am the friend who is obsessed.

Who else cried during satisfied, stay alive (reprise), and quiet uptown

4 years late, 2 years out of the fandom and during a pandemic, but I LOVE THIS and relate heavily!❤️

Number one! You watch it. Number two! You have memorized every song and quote. Number three! You cant sleep, because the songs are filling your head and you have been singing the songs all day every day.

I am proud to say that I am that friend. I've gotten 1 friend to become Hamilton Trash and another on the way. HAMILTON WILL CONQUER THE WORLD

My stages 1: uhh this is a cool song 2: listening to some of the important songs 3: listening to it all 4: cry to sleep for poet

This is great to put out into the world- thanks!

all the stages... and then you ACTUALLY GET TO GO TO THE ROOM WHERE IT HAPPENS WITH YOUR HAMILTON OBSESSED BEST FRIEND AND CRY ALL THE WAY THROUGH😭😍i miss it :(

THIS IS THE BEST THING I'VE EVER SEEN!!! Did you guys know that Lin Manuel Miranda posted your video ON HIS TUMBLR???

Me: Hears about it Gets the soundtrack for Christmas Listens to about ten songs and has no idea what is going on Looks up the plot and realises what's going on Listens to act 1 Attempts to get friends obsessed Fails Listens to act 2 Listens to whole thing about fifty times Attempts to get friends obsessed Succeeds Parent becomes obsessed to Stalks blogs on tumblr, follows too many hamilton accounts on Instagram and fan girls whenever she sees ANY CAST MEMBER EVER

Okay, this was awesome!

I love this video! Water almost came out of my nose i was laughing so hard!

*finishes listening to Hamilton* O-O Bro Bro: Did you like it Me: Yeah! 2:25 Bro Bro: Hey you wanna listen to it again? Me: YES!

When I became obsessed I did this to my friends. And one of them always said: “SHUT UP.” Now she’s yelling Hamilton with me. Mission accomplished.

The first song I heard was Satisfied. I learned ALL of that song in a week. I slowly got obsessed and now my current aim in life is to finish it. I relate so HARDDD

I’ve listened to Hamilton more than 20 times and am still obsessed with it. I want to be in the room where the musical happens. I hope this dream will come true next year. LMM is a legend.
