All Star / Shrek

1999

"All Star" is a 1999 rock song by Smash Mouth that became one of the internet's most enduring memes after its prominent use in the 2001 animated film *Shrek*. The song's iconic opening line, "Somebody once told me," launched thousands of remixes, mashups, covers, and parodies across YouTube, Reddit, and beyond. Written as an anthem for outcasts by guitarist Greg Camp, the track found a second life online in the 2010s through creators like Neil Cicierega and Jon Sudano, and the band themselves leaned into the joke.

Karen

2014

"Karen" is a slang term and meme archetype describing an entitled, middle-class white woman known for demanding to speak to the manager, harassing service workers, and weaponizing privilege against people of color[1]. The meme coalesced from multiple internet trends between 2014 and 2018, drawing on Black American internet culture's tradition of satirizing racial hostility through commonplace names[1]. By 2020, "Karen" had become one of the most recognizable character archetypes on the internet, fueled by viral videos of real-world confrontations and the COVID-19 pandemic's mask wars[7].

Artist Christopher Torres created the animation during a Red Cross charity livestream on April 2, 2011; three days later YouTuber saraj00n paired it with the song, and the combination quickly became one of the biggest viral memes of the early 2010s. The original video pulled in over 205 million YouTube views and sparked games, merchandise, a Webby Award, and a landmark NFT sale worth nearly $600,000.
