This is an ancient meme, well over 10 years old, perhaps born on Facebook? I've been looking up these older memes, to learn their secrets and thus to become a better memecrafter.

Can you identify them all? On Bluesky the alt text identified them as...

Alternative responses to "I Love You" from top left to bottom right: Robert Smith "Thanks.", Nik Fiend "Yeet", Andrew Eldrtich "Why.", Siouxsie Sioux "Who Doesn't", Nick Cave "I'm sorry.", Ian Curtis "A horrible decision, really", Carl McCoy finger guns, Peter Murphy "I know."

Every last one heh. Honestly, I think Nick is the one that changed the most of them all, probably. Whereas Ian is probably the one who's changed the least over the years. Unless you count decomposing I guess. The poor man's psyche tortured him to death.

Apparently Ian Curtis was cremated and his remains buried, so he probably hasn't changed after all.

I'm not familiar with Aliex Sex Fiend, I always forget the names of the Sisters of Mercy and Fields of the Nephilim guys, and i kinda recognize Nick Cave as "someone" but I never woulda guessed his name.

Alien sex fiend is easy. Ole Nik Fiend. SoM is ole Andy Eldritch, no relation. And old Carl he's the real McCoy. Nick went from an angry nihilistic young man in the Birthday Party to soulful and introspective with the Bad Seeds. Even if you aren't familiar with him you've likely heard the duet he did with Minogue off of his Murder Ballads album. Called Red Right Hand. The organ hook on it is quirky and very catchy.

Wait, I take it back. I think red right hand was about the only song on the album. He didn't duet with Minogue. Been a hot minute and my mind gets fuzzy.

Woah. Goth mnemonics. Looks like it could make for a meme.

Finger guns

[–] Sergio@piefed.social 3 points 1 month ago (1 children)

In my last relationship, I wouldn't actually do finger guns but I'd point with both hands and say "Back atcha!" They thought it was funny. But if I said I loved them, they'd be like: "Oh god, why... why do you say that? WHAT HAVE YOU DONE?!?" (they had kindof a rough past...)

I knew 1, 3, 4, 5 & 6... because I was an 80's kid who listened to their music and still do some of the time... even when I became a teen in the 90's
