Recreating a 2002 Best Friend Photo

Text on the meme

Re-creating a photo with my high school best friend 2002

What it means

A woman and a bearded man pose together in a brightly colored bakery while recreating an old photo labeled “2002.” The clip then cuts to the original-looking throwback image, making the joke about how the friends’ appearance and situation have changed over time. It is set to Simple Plan’s nostalgic pop-punk song “I’m Just a Kid,” whose melancholy music and lyrics about being alone make the reunion feel humorously bittersweet.
