        George Lucas sells out

        Dinosaurs run about

        Big man gets small

        Hairy man can’t make withdrawals

        Rat pizza subway

        Furiosa got away

        Arguing over a dress

        30 written state addresses

        Matt Damon escapes from Mars

        Venom Snake avenges scars

        (Chorus)

    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

      And the “RIP Grantland” makes me think this is Bill Simmons related, maybe even published by Grantland itself (American sports/pop culture website started by Simmons when he worked for ESPN).

      Edit: I’ve just seen the credit at the bottom of the poster. Guess it’s not related, just made by a fan I guess.
