This is how we ended up with many derisive variants of the meme, because let's face it: For a lot of people, cynicism went hand-in-hand with 2017: If you start playing "Sweet Caroline" by Neil Diamond at 11:58:54 PM on New Years Eve, you'll hit EAT SHIT PITT, right at midnight starting 2018 the right way if you play the spongebob theme tune at 11:59:34pm on new year's eve and follow the captain's instructions, we will all hit the deck and flop like a fish in unison at midnight and honestly I think the world needs that if you play "Year 3000" by Jonas Brothers on NYE at 113:59:20 PM and keep it on repeat 159,409,615 times, the first time it says "Year 3000" will play exactly at midnight on January 1, 3000.
