From League of Legends streamer Dyrus: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8LOaxtJf9F4 (skip to 1:14 if you don't care about the LoL part, although it's what makes the video hilarious)
I had been a fan of rhythm games since I was young, but had never heard of osu! before. Back then I was also a League of Legends fan, and had been following the competitive team Team SoloMid, which Dyrus was a part of. After I saw that video I was all "Hmmm, this is a cool rhythm game in which I don't have to go to the arcade to play!"
I have been playing daily almost since. Thanks Dyrus
(Heard that PewDiePie also publicized osu! Maybe a bigger of influx of players there)
