The 'It's Been 84 Years' meme features the elderly Rose Dawson Calvert, played by Gloria Stuart, from the 1997 blockbuster movie Titanic. In the film, Rose utters the line while recounting her memories of the tragic voyage to a team of researchers. The scene gained a second life on the internet as a reaction image and GIF, perfectly capturing the feeling of exhaustion or hyperbolic impatience when waiting for something that feels overdue. It is commonly used in gaming communities for delayed sequels, in tech for slow software updates, or in personal contexts to joke about how long it takes for a friend to reply to a message or for a project to finally reach completion.
