15 Times Memes Were Better Than Music This Year

While it was a flop in many other ways, 2015 was a great year for memes. Fans flexed some pretty serious Photoshop skills, reaction Vines united us in laughter, and hashtags took on lives of their own. Here are all the times the memes had us like 😂

1. When Nicholas Fraser's "Why You Lyin'" took the 2015 'net by storm.

2. When DS2 dropped and #FutureHive went into overdrive.
