Wake Me Up When September Ends

Brainrot Score: 5.0 ⓘOBSERVED
[ MEME ][ SEASONAL ][ GEN Z BRAINROT ]

A Green Day song that reliably resurfaces as a meme every year in the final days of September, posted as a countdown joke about the month finally being over.

REAL-WORLD EXAMPLE

"It's the 30th, someone already posted Wake Me Up When September Ends."

LORE & ORIGIN

The song itself is from 2004; the meme cycle of posting it every September 30th is a much later internet tradition that recurs annually regardless of any new trigger.
