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!

It may only be the beginning of December, but Spotify decided to release their annual "Wrapped" feature yesterday. The "year in review" offers users some insight regarding their listening habits - favorite artists, favorite songs, etc. This year, the streaming company went the extra mile to give us data for every year since their inception. While it's a fun and enlightening tool, our social media feeds have since been clogged with people sharing their results. Who's gonna tell 'em that people don't want to see that on their timeline? To combat the boring and banal Wrapped posts, resourceful content creators and Twitter users have been hard at work meme-ing the phenomenon and throwing shade on Twitter. The shade is way more entertaining than the Wrapped data. See for yourself.

Twitter: a platform for the bored, the solipsistic, and, sometimes, the very funny. These musings range from basic to astute, but they'll all help distract you from reality.

This meme of a little Vietnamese girl tracing her cat on a piece of paper needs little explanation - it's the perfect way to diss on all the haters and the fakers out there.

We all fit into a societal mold of some sort, whether we like it or not, and that's okay! Embrace the stereotypes and bask in these humorous starter pack memes!

Spotify released a fun feature this week that allows users to view an analysis of their 2017 music listening habits. The generator, which they call "2017 wrapped," reveals users' top artists, songs, and genres. The popular music streaming service has been encouraging users to share this information on social media. Judging by our newsfeeds, their plan is working - and then some. While some people are gleefully showing off their colorful listening cards, others are hard at work creating parodies for music and meme lovers alike. 

Mr. Krabs has got BACK. 

Nihilistic memes and self-deprecating humor have completely flooded the internet scene in recent years. For today's roundup, we're focusing on the Tumblr that helped start it all: Screenshots of Despair. Technology sure does seem to enjoy putting us in our place.
