Last week we started noticing some memes floating around that hail the discovery of a Mambo #6. For all you Zoomers, that's a reference to Lou Bega's "one hit wonder" from 1999. This week we realized that the Mambo #6 memes inspired a host of pun-tastic music memes that imagine the upgrades of popular artists and bands. The meme is honestly a dad joke-lover's dream, and the memes are so easy to come up with that you can't help but join the fun. We've put together our favorites, but you can read all about these referential wonders at Know Your Meme.
Music
We love dumb memes as much as the "smart" ones, and can't get enough music memes. So you can imagine our delight when we discovered that Foo Fighters are the unlikely stars of the latest stupidly funny meme trend. This format celebrates the Dave Grohl-helmed band's valiant efforts at defeating the dangerous threat of "Foo". The absurd hilarity of the joke really jives with us, and we hope you enjoy it too.
Life would be way less fun if music wasn't a thing. Life would also be less fun if memes weren't a thing. These music memes combine our two favorite things in a fantastically entertaining way. This diverse selection riffs on everything from black metal to rap, so there's jokes here for lovers of pretty much any genre. Enjoy!
Old habits die hard, and according to this new Twitter meme, you don't have to be in high school to roast people over music. And what kind of people does Twitter just love to troll and meme? Politicians. The latest victim is Mayor Pete Buttigieg, one of several Democratic candidates vying for the 2020 presidency.
The meme uses an April 2019 photo of Buttigieg making a radio appearance, but in the last month the photo has been used by Twitter users to mock the dude musically. Folks are pairing the photo of Mayor Pete in lime green headphones with "bad" or absurd artists. It's a low-effort meme, but the site seems to be enjoying them. And Bernie Sanders even makes an appearance in a few iterations. We're not going to pretend that the meme is doing anything revolutionary, but we're having fun with it. It's definitely more creative than people calling each other names!
These memes poke fun at the fan-stereotypes of various pop music artists because let's face it, the roasts come waaay too easily. We're not going to say that these generalizations are all true, but we're also not going to say that they're wrong...We'll just leave it at that.
Anyway, without further ado, please enjoy!
Behind the handsome face of Adam Levine lies a conspiracy. At least according to this Tumblr user, who wrote up a whole thread that Maroon 5's popularity is surprisingly low for how many people know and love their songs. While we can't really agree about the quality of their songs, perhaps this Tumblr user is onto something.
Elon, it's time to stop.
Our favorite cringey billionaire is back in action on the music scene with the drop of his new song on Soundcloud titled, "Don't Doubt ur Vibe." We have to say that while it isn't necessarily "RIP Harambe" levels of cringe, it still sort of...misses the mark.
Our theory is that Elon is either incredibly out of touch with the youth, or he does these strange things to troll us. Or maybe he just doesn't give a flying f*ck, because when you have billions of dollars, who really cares?
Anyway, please "enjoy" listening to Lil Elon's new song and scroll through the reaction memes and tweets below. Sorry ahead of time.
Seventeen-year-old Billie Eilish, arguably the voice of Generation Z, has positively exploded onto the pop music scene over the last year with hits like Bad Guy and Bury a Friend. Her fanbase has proved itself to be somewhat on the edgy side, and by "edgy" we mean along the lines of "I'm 14 and this is deep."
We just want to clarify that we have nothing against Billie Eilish or her music at all - we're mainly here to poke some fun at her overly dramatic fans and her amusingly baggy wardrobe.
Fun fact: her middle name is Pirate.
This meme, which features a school girl pointing her tuba's bell at another girl's face, is the perfect way to symbolize the things in your life that just won't shut the hell up. You know, like when your mom won't stop lecturing you when you're just trying to tell her a joke, or when that goddamn Windows update keeps popping up when you're trying to close down your computer. STOP trying to make Windows updates happen, they're NOT going to happen.
