About

Mom, Can We Leave the Beach Now refers to a series of ironic Doge memes in which Doge asks his mother if they can leave the beach early after a group of people of a particular ethnicity comes and starts loudly playing stereotypical national music on a Bluetooth speaker. In a reverse version of the meme, Doge asks his mom to stay a little longer when he likes the music being played. The image macros appeared online in the early 2020s, spreading over the following years.
