The 'But It Came Out in 2007' meme, often referred to as the 'Directed by Michael Bay' meme, parodying the high-drama ending of the original Transformers movie. The trend involves taking a mundane or unrelated video clip and abruptly cutting to a credits screen featuring 'Directed by Michael Bay' while the song 'What I've Done' by Linkin Park plays. Popularized on TikTok and Twitter, the meme highlights the specific, overly dramatic cinematic style of the late 2000s. It is used to make any situation feel like a big-budget action blockbuster finale, tapping into millennial nostalgia and the absurdity of Michael Bay's signature 'Bayhem' style.
