A screenshot of a social media post describes a mother at the end of her life with Alzheimer’s who is almost entirely non-verbal, yet clearly tells her child to turn off Coldplay when it plays on the radio. The punchline is the unexpectedly strong and relatable dislike of Coldplay overcoming her condition, making it a dark, bittersweet reaction meme.
