depressing memes

How's 2021 feeling, everyone? As far as we can tell, nothing has changed. Except for the way we write the date, which will inevitably take a month to get used to. There was something very cursed and anti-climactic about this holiday, and to assuage the disappointment we've put together yet another hefty helping of memes and tweets. Some are clever, some are stupid, but they all make for an excellent distraction.

Congratulations: you've made it through another bleak Monday on Planet Earth. To reward yourself for getting through the toiling and torture, why not peruse this potpourri of entertaining memes? This collections features everything from corny tweets to dank memes, and we're almost certain it's got a couple memes worthy of sending to your friends. If you have any. If you don't? Well, memes are here for you. And so are we. 

Ah, Sunday. The day of rest. While some people spend it at church or by indulging in quality family time, we're more into burrowing into a cocoon and conserving energy for the horrors of Monday. Fortunately, scrolling through memes and binge watching television shows don't take much of our life force. And we've got a bunch of the former right here for your easy enjoyment. 

If you're miserable and you know it, look at memes. If you're miserable and you know it, look at memes. If you're miserable and you know it, and you really can't be bothered to show it, if you're miserable and you know it, look at memes. The more depressing and self-deprecating the better.

It may only be the beginning of March, but here on the East Coast (and in the Northern hemisphere) we can feel the seasonal depression fading away with the arrival of what we like to call "False Spring." While the sunshine and warm-ish weather are a preview of future joy, realistically it's going to take a long time for us to snap back to normal. And for those of us with the regular depression + seasonal depression combo, the light at the end of the tunnel is a little farther away. While we can't make the bad feelings disappear, we can help you remember that you're far from alone. You know, with a big old gallery of bleakly relatable memes.

A lot can happen in a year. You can learn you're pregnant and have a baby within that time span. You can get a divorce or travel the entire globe. Or, if you're like most people trudging along with their lives lately, you can spend a whole year grappling with the effects of a pandemic. Whether you've been working remotely, attempting to homeschool your kids, unemployed, or fighting the virus firsthand in hospitals, this year has taken a toll on everyone. There's the quarantine 15 (or 20), bad haircuts, newfound agoraphobia, and, of course, living much of your social and work life through choppy and unnecessary Zoom calls.

While we were trying not to think about the passing of time and this increasingly depressing period of stasis, people on Twitter are facing the sad truth head on via memes. The glumly relatable memes compare March 1st 2020 and March 1st 2021 with painful accuracy. They're the exact opposite of a glow-up. But at least they're a great reminder that we're far from alone in this monotonous struggle. Fingers crossed things don't get worse by next March. We can't handle seeing a bleak three panel progression.

At this exact moment, we're willing to bet that thousands, if not millions, of people are happily looking at memes on the internet. We send memes to our friends more often than we ask how we're doing. But these days, we're all doing pretty badly - so sharing a laugh seems preferable to sharing the same old tired canned niceties. While there are tons of memes to choose from, we find that relatable memes have the most "oomph" were connecting with friends are concerned. Want to roast how often you text your ex? There's memes for that. Want to highlight how swiftly your life is falling apart? There are tons of memes that echo that downward spiral. We touch on both of those themes and more in this gallery, and if you scroll on through we're sure you'll have at least one moment of feeling personally attacked. 

Happy day, friends and followers. We're back with another massive batch of memes for people who like their entertainment to be on the weirder side. From morbid humor, to twisted and bleak self-deprecation, we're willing to bet these memes are a touch weirder than you're used to seeing. And we're all about breaking from the norm.

As cities begin to open up their businesses and offices after months of lockdown, many of us are getting new jobs or returning to old ones. A lot of people had to work straight through this lockdown hell. No one wants to work 40+ hours a week for a wage that barely covers living expenses, but during a global pandemic our options start to wane and we all gotta power through to get that bread. Unless you're Jeff Bezos or something, these memes about the woes of work-life might deeply resonate with you. We recommend scrolling through these memes while pooping on the clock for a truly cathartic experience.

Happy Friday, friends and frenemies. You've officially made it through another muddled week of insanity. Between Covid-19, the insanity of politics in the USA, and the problems we had prior to these disasters, it's amazing we're able to function at all. All the craziness kind of makes it hard to muster the energy to do very much at all. If you're feeling sapped of motivation, at least there are memes to lift you up a little bit. And we've got a big old gallery of them right here for your convenient perusal.

If you're looking for memes, you've come to the right place. This batch has a little something for everyone. Hate your life from waking til slumber? Yep, there's some humor here for you. Can't seem to get your shit together? You guessed it. We've got the memes for you. Just need something dumb to laugh at while you kill time? We've got tons of goodies for you. So sit back, relax, and try to enjoy the memes. 

Holiday cheer? Psssh, make way for seasonal depression and the inevitable damp and dreariness of winter. These memes are perfect for anyone who's sick of the fake happiness that everyone seems to display at this time of year. But the holidays are almost over, which means it's back to being our true, sad Millennial selves again. Yippee...

Being a human can be so complicated. We're plagued with neuroses, complex responsibilities, and the knowledge that much of this existence is absolutely pointless. Animals (most of the time) lead a simpler existence. They also happen to be the subject of some exquisitely dumb, wholesome, and even spicy memes. Which are a great albeit temporary antidote to our very human suffering. 

If you're in the "Life's a bitch and then you die" camp, you're probably going to enjoy this gallery of memes. They're for the people who lean into their pessimism, and perhaps have a habit of calling it "realism." For the people who don't have the energy to pretend that everything's okay. For the people who accept the pain and use dark humor to cope. And most of all, these nuggets of moroseness are for the people who can't handle another wholesome or cutesy memes.
