The 'Have the Rolling Stones Killed' meme originates from the classic 1993 episode of The Simpsons titled 'Rosebud.' After the punk band The Ramones performs a loud and abrasive rendition of 'Happy Birthday' at Mr. Burns’ 118th birthday party, the billionaire mistakenly identifies them as The Rolling Stones and orders Smithers to have them killed. The meme perfectly captures the essence of an 'out-of-touch' authority figure or anyone making a hilariously incorrect assumption about modern culture. It is widely used to mock people who are behind the times, or to humorously react to a minor inconvenience with disproportionate, old-fashioned villainy.
