The 'Current Year' meme, often characterized by the phrase 'Come on, it's [Year],' gained massive cultural traction following Justin Trudeau's 2015 response regarding his gender-balanced cabinet and John Oliver's frequent use of the phrase on 'Last Week Tonight.' It highlights a rhetorical style where the current date is used as the sole justification for a specific moral or political stance. While initially used to advocate for progress, it quickly became a subject of parody for its perceived logical simplicity. Internet users now employ the template to either genuinely call out regressive behavior or ironically mock the 'it's the current year' argument itself, making it a staple of online political and social commentary.
