2020: The Part 6 - New Year Wish Meme

A meme featuring a young child wearing a red polo shirt, standing against a plain white background, with a thoughtful expression while scratching their head. Overlaid text reads: 'Damn.... I kinda want the new year to feel brand new, not like 2020 part 6'. The humor stems from the relatable frustration that subsequent years (post-2020) have felt like continuations of the chaotic and challenging 2020, framed as a 'sequel' (Part 6). The child's confused yet contemplative gesture amplifies the sentiment of longing for a fresh start versus ongoing stagnation.

Overview

A meme featuring a young child wearing a red polo shirt, standing against a plain white background, with a thoughtful expression while scratching their head. Overlaid text reads: 'Damn.... I kinda want the new year to feel brand new, not like 2020 part 6'. The humor stems from the relatable frustration that subsequent years (post-2020) have felt like continuations of the chaotic and challenging 2020, framed as a 'sequel' (Part 6). The child's confused yet contemplative gesture amplifies the sentiment of longing for a fresh start versus ongoing stagnation.

Origin notes

This meme originates from Reddit, specifically the r/Meme community. It is a user-created remix that combines a stock photograph of a real child with added text to comment on the cultural perception that years following 2020 have not offered the 'brand new' feeling typically associated with new years, instead feeling like repetitive extensions of 2020's chaos. The 'Part 6' reference humorously frames this as a serialized continuation, akin to movie sequels.

The meme features a photograph of a small hamster sitting on a gray blanket. The hamster has a white band-aid on its head and is holding a small tissue in its mouth, giving a sickly or underwhelmed appearance. Above the hamster, there is text that reads '2026 gon be my year' followed by a grinning face emoji 😊. Below this, another line of text states 'Me january 2026'. The humor arises from the contrast between the optimistic expectation of 2026 being a great year and the reality of January 2026 being underwhelming, represented by the hamster's defeated demeanor, as if the new year started off poorly or not as anticipated.
