    a few off the top of my head from being alive and a fully-fledged adult in 2015:

    • Mad Max (2015)
    • Je Suis Charlie is Charlie Hebdo which was big in the news then because they did some anti-islamic shit and got shot over it
    • left shark and deflate gate in the bottom right (superbowl stuff)
    • Greece was going through some economic shit (my ex went to an ivy and she and some of her classmates made a lot of jokes about “we could just buy it” bc their endowment was larger than its gdp and bc they’re ghouls in training)
    • BLM blew up pretty big following the extrajudicial murder of michael brown in 2014
    • last hunger games movie came out (that’s katniss on the t-rex)
    • jurassic park reboots started in 2015
    • memerican aparral is referencing “the dress” that tore the internet apart bc people couldn’t decide what colors it was (wiki)
    • netflix paid a ton of money for Friends (see the laptop in the bottom right) and that was a huge deal
    • free snow next to the guy in the celts jersey and sox hat is reference to boston’s snowmageddon 2k15

      I love that dress because almost every time somebody reposts it with a caption like “can you believe we used to argue about what color this was? Times have changed lol” people start arguing over the color
