  Its a reference to Bullet with Butterfly Wings - by Smashing Pumpkins. An old 90s song all us middle aged Americans heard on the radio so much that even people who don’t like that band would probably recognize it

    Old song? Us middle aged Americans?

    My teenage angst has returned, thanks.

    Exhibit A: I’ve never cared for Smashing Pumpkins but I know every note and word in this song as if I wrote it.

    Makes this more of a USAian meme than a science meme.

      Because it references a band that was popular all over the world?

      Or just because you specifically hadn’t heard of them?

    If this is the only pumpkins song you know it’s not really representative. This is the most angry teenage angsty song on there, that’s plenty of melodic songs.

    I think people buying the record after hearing only this song would have buyers remorse.

      Their grunge was their best work.

      I actually loved this album. This is just the song that got most of the radio play. Tonight, tonight and 1979 are the other radio play songs which represent the overall band better, in my opinion.

  “The world is a vampire” is the opening line from the Smashing Pumpkins hit “Bullet with Butterfly Wings”

  The meme rejects the notion of flat earth by instead asserting that the song is literal and not metaphorical. This was not the expected mode of argument, hence comedy.
