Memes: The 2026 Hobby That Requires No Equipment

By: Rylan B.

It’s National Hobby Month. My hobby? Scrolling until my thumb files for workers’ comp. Enjoy your memes.

1. A Cat That Looks Like It Was Part of an Early 2000s Band

This cat absolutely opened for Smash Mouth once and still tells the story unprompted.

Looks like it smells faintly of Hot Topic, warped CDs, and unresolved Y2K trauma.

2. Rappers Today Looking Like Doodle Bears

This meme says what everyone’s been thinking but was too afraid to tweet.

Somewhere between SoundCloud era fashion and a Trapper Keeper, creativity has entered its experimental phase.

3. Ew Reaction to my Boyfriend Won’t Let Me

Nothing kills the vibe faster than the phrase “won’t let me.” Immediate ick.

Full system shutdown. This meme is feminism in its purest facial expression.

4. Pitbull: this is for everybody going through rough times, believe me, been there, done that.

Pitbull has survived every era, every recession, and every club playlist purge.

If Mr. Worldwide says it gets better, you listen. That man has seen things.

5. Me at Work Acting Like This Dimension Makes Sense.

This meme perfectly captures the act of nodding along at your job while your soul quietly exits the building.

Nothing here is real, but the paycheck is, unfortunately.
