End of the Year Breakdown

Text on the meme

31 December,2025 (End of the year)

What it means

A black-and-white video montage shows exhausted and distressed men in a hospital bed, on a city street, in a medical room, under a shower, in the snow, and finally a drummer playing intensely, followed by a black screen. The caption labels it “31 December,2025 (End of the year),” turning the end-of-year exhaustion and emotional collapse into melodramatic dark humor. ABBA’s melancholic pop ballad “The Winner Takes It All” heightens the feeling of tragic defeat and makes the escalating montage funnier as an exaggerated reaction to surviving the year.
