The 'Listens Once' meme is a popular internet format used to satirize individuals who adopt an entire subculture or aesthetic after just one exposure to a specific genre of music, movie, or artist. It typically features an image of someone looking drastically different—often in an exaggerated or stereotypical way—paired with a caption like 'Listens to Lana Del Rey once' or 'Listens to Drill music once.' This meme perfectly captures the humorous side of how people quickly latch onto new identities to feel part of a trend. It gained massive traction on platforms like Twitter and TikTok, where users share their own sudden, 'aesthetic' transformations for comedic effect.
