Well, it’s been a wild year.
Boomers got mad at “ok boomer”, Greta Thunberg got bullied by a bunch of straight, white, privileged men and the Amazon (along with the rest of the planet) is on fire. Look, it’s been a bit depressing but, in true Internet fashion, we have turned all of this trauma (along with the good stuff) into viral, internet memes! Love that for us. So, without further ado, please allow us to recap 2019 through a series of hilarious tweets.
Firstly, we need to address the fact that a meme song that took the world by storm. ‘Old Town Road‘, initially released on Soundcloud, became an internet sensation, slowly climbing the charts and breaking a Billboard record. It’s legacy? making the world fall back in love with country music.
In other entertainment news, our obsession with the new Stranger Things season slowly evolved to an obsession with aliens and government secrecy. Enter our strange fascination with Area 51.
In terms of games, the popularity of Fortnite reached new heights and Lady Gaga pretty much summed up the reactions of all non-gamers.
Speaking of reactions, VSCO girls took over the world and became the only real way to respond to a message that you found mildly funny.
Also, we all got a new alarm-tone with a little help from Grammy-nominated vocalist, Kylie Jenner.
Not to mention, Keke Palmer’s limited knowledge of the White House gave us the perfect reaction to any one-night-stand.
Also, the nostalgia in us focused all of its attention on the 2007 single, ‘Untouched‘ by The Veronicas, which finally got the recognition it deserved.
Don’t forget, in 2019 we were introduced to the environmentalist icon, Greta Thunberg, who made history with her powerful speech towards Trump. We did turn her into memes though…
And speaking of history, in 2019 got into the concept of re-writing history, with the viral memes format “I’m gonna tell my kids this is….”. It was a barrel of laughs, to say the least.
Lastly, we just have to talk about the Kombucha girl memes that summed up visually how fast our brains think in 2019.
What a time. See you next year kids!
