Welcome to the chaotic, serotonin-boosting viral meme roundup of 2024; the year the internet said, “What if we were completely unhinged, but in a fun way?” Let’s dive in, but fair warning: you might lose some aura points along the way.
🐬 I Just Wanna Be Part of Your Symphony 🐬
A fun, colourful background, Clean Bandit’s ‘Symphony.’ The captions? Peak unhinged energy, like “I have crippling anxiety” or “I’m going to commit tax evasion.” Gen Z and Gen Alpha may be eating up these dazzling Y2K aesthetics, but it’s the chaotic energy that makes this trend iconic. It’s like our collective mental health, but make it sparkly.

How Many Aura Points Did I Lose?
It’s giving ✨embarrassment✨. This trend is the go-to way of laughing at your most mortifying moments. Tripped in front of your crush? Spilled coffee on your boss? Ask the internet how many “aura points” you just lost. For those playing along at home, aura points are basically your coolness stats. To be honest, mine are probably in the negative!

Subtle Foreshadowing
Imagine watching a video where everything starts out normal, and the next clip is of a person falling over, but it returns back to normal, and then the end is of the person falling over again. That’s the genius of subtle foreshadowing videos. They tease you with chaotic doom mid-clip, so you spend the whole time bracing for impact. Nine times out of ten, it’s a cinematic masterpiece.

Demure
I know, I know, you’re probably sick of this phrase, but what’s the vibe for 2024? Very demure, very mindful. It started with Jools Lebron, who posted her “demure” job interview fit. The internet? Obsessed. Now people are using the sound to clown on anything that’s absolutely not demure. Wearing Crocs to a wedding? Very demure. Eating 40 chicken nuggets at 3 a.m.? Very mindful.

They’re Eating the Dogs, They’re Eating the Cats
Yes, this one’s real. During a 2024 debate, Trump claimed Haitian immigrants were eating people’s pets in Ohio. Chaos ensued. Now, this sound is everywhere, made into a remix that’s surprisingly catchy. If there’s one thing the internet knows how to do, it’s how to turn even the wildest headlines into meme gold.

You Wouldn’t Last an Hour in the Asylum Where They Raised Me
This sound is the anthem of unhinged childhood stories. It’s basically chaotic trauma-dumping disguised as humor, and we’re all here for it. Bonus points if your video makes someone say, “Are you okay??” The answer is no, no we’re not.

Just Ate Half an X, Will Eat the Rest Later
Now this one is my favourite. It features videos where people say, for instance, “Just ate half a banana, will eat the rest later!” and the banana is cut in the weirdest ways possible. I mean, I’m truly amazed at the creativity some of the people have shown under this hashtag.

Thank You, Beyoncé
The viral meme has us all treating Queen Bey like she’s the ultimate cosmic force. Picture this: you ace a test you didn’t study for, avoid spilling your coffee, or finally find parking on a busy day. Naturally, you whisper, “Thank you, Beyoncé,” because you don’t want to risk angering the universe.

The Chill Guy
You’ve definitely seen the ‘Chill Guy’ meme unless you’re literally living under a rock. It’s that effortlessly cool brown dog in a gray sweater, cuffed jeans, and red sneakers. Pure vibes.
