火遍朋友圈的抖音,对此老外怎么看?
Toward the end of 2017, a lot of people felt run ragged by a chaotic year. The evidence was all over Twitter, where the “Me at the Beginning of 2017 vs Me at the End of 2017” meme showed off clever side-by-side images of popular public figures looking their best and worst. It's 2018 now, though, and many are hoping it won’t just be 2017, Part Two. To that end, a new more uplifting meme is surging in China, and it's pretty much the opposite of Me vs Me. Hello it is Friday and I am here with the latest Chinese meme: “karma's a bitch”. The “Karma's a Bitch” meme features mostly women, dressed extremely down, and then uttering the titular phrase, like a magic mantra, and then instantly transforming into a glammed-up version of themselves. This metamorphosis occurs right as the star of the video waves a towel in front of her- or himself–a technique that recalls some of the sorcery of the magician Zach King. The line, “Karma's a Bitch” comes from a popular bit of dialogue uttered by Veronica on Riverdale. |
