The memes about it coming starting to pop up in mid october. Its one joke about the song being overplayed, the joke is never original, Ive never seen a creative version of it. If old people have “boomer humor” whats the short term for “Millenials without two brain cells to rub together who will share on any joke that they understand”

The song is well produced overplayed pandering pop garbage. The jokes about it suck more.

    Last Christmas, I gave you my heart
    But the very next day,
    you gave it away.
    This year, to save me from tears
    I’ll give it to someone special
    (Special)
    🎵🎶🎶🎵

    What amuses me about this take is that the jokes about the song being played all the time fall prey to the exact same overexposure mechanism that made people dislike the song in the first place. As the song gets more commonly perceived as being overexposed, the idea of its overexposure itself becomes more and more popular until it is itself perceived as overexposed. Like a memetic echo.

      Yeah, I do see the irony in talking about how annoying it is talking about it. But for me it amplifies the annoyance at the song because I’m already fed up with hearing about it before I hear it in the wild.

    That song is a strong example of how people will go out of their way to make themselves miserable. I don’t hear the song that often and those that do, must be going out of their way to hear it if they spend all waking moments complaining about it.

    I find it way more annoying now of people complaining of the song than the song itself. Like shut up, learn to figure out how to cope and it won’t be that annoying. Or find something bigger to be annoyed by than a stupid song.
