True crime isn’t just a genre, it’s a lifestyle. If you’re anything like me, a 30-something year old who happily lives alone, privately solving cold cases from the 1990’s, then you’re probably also a moderately obsessive neat freak with 10 rotating true crime podcasts on loop. Quite frankly, the staged cinema world has no interest for true crime folks. If it didn’t happen in real life, I don’t want to know about it. We’ve all but solved the JonBenét case and we’re already halfway through the Zodiac case details. 

So if you can’t be a detective in real life, why not get your fix by enjoying the horrific crimes of others through mysterious clues, fumbled crime scenes, and splatter studies. In the meantime, so your friends don’t think you’re entirely insane, you can scroll these suspiciously incriminating memes that’ll call you out on the only crime you could never avoid: You deep seated love of true crime.
