About
Nobody Will Remember is a phrasal template that emerged on Twitter in early July 2022. The snowclone is made in parody of inspirational messages that suggest "nobody will remember" one's material gains and successes in life and instead will remember how one interacted with others. In the jokes and memes referencing this, what people will remember is usually replaced by a humorous statistic or attribute.
Origin
In early July 2022, several Twitter accounts posted inspirational messages suggesting "nobody will remember" one's material successes in life and will instead remember how one treated others (example by @ApkaUmar[1] shown below).
Parodies of such tweets began appearing as early as July 2nd, 2022. For example, that day, Twitter user @PavelASamsonov[2] tweeted an early parody referencing the poem "Ozymandias" by Percy Blysshe Shelley, gaining over 60 retweets and 340 likes in four days (shown below).
Spread
Over the following several days, parodies began growing more elaborate. On July 4th, 2022, Twitter user @tcarmody[3] also posted a variation referencing "Ozymandias," gaining over 5,800 retweets and 60,000 likes in two days (shown below, left). On July 5th, Twitter user @PeterBrannen1[4] used the format to joke about how fossils are made and discovered, gaining over 70 retweets and 420 likes in less than 24 hours (shown below, right).
The format also became a means for sports fans to tweet about their team's accomplishments. For example, on July 6th, Twitter user @MarshallStPod44 used the format to post about the Syracuse college basketball team upsetting Virginia, gaining over 11 retweets and 37 likes in three hours (shown below, top). That same day, user @CBJArtillery then used the format to post a clip of the Columbus Blue Jackets defeating the Tampa Bay Lightning in the Stanley Cup playoffs receiving over 450 likes in a similar timeframe (shown below, bottom).
Nobody will remember:
- Your salary
- Your fancy title
- How ‘busy’ you were
- How stressed you were
- How many hours you worked
