«It’s so over.» «We’re so back.» These memetic catchphrases matriculated from controversial image boards to the mainstream internet and have permanently dented my vocabulary. I will say, «It’s so over,» in response to the most minor setbacks. My curtain rod fell down? It’s so over. I forgot my Norwegian hand lotion at home on the coldest day of the year. It’s so over. I accidentally put metal dishware in the microwave. It’s over. But I did so without making the microwave explode…we’re so back.
There’s no reason to flounder in the deep waters of doomerism. You can say, «It’s so over» as a joke, but you can’t really believe that it’s over and that it could never come back. We’ve got a lot of life left to live, and only the man upstairs can decide when it’s over for you. If you’re so back, these memes might make you smile.
