In MyMemeCards, the meme card game, “It's the decadence” is a rare card of the Memes FR pack, number 3083 of the collection, and the 753rd best-known meme of its 3496 cards. Here is what the meme means, where it comes from, and how to get its card.
What does the “It's the decadence” meme mean?
This meme expresses comic exaggeration regarding situations deemed morally questionable or absurd. It appropriates the original outrage to critique social trends or behaviors considered excessive, often without the user sharing the activist's initial political views. The humor lies in applying such dramatic language to trivial or unrelated modern events.
Where does the “It's the decadence” meme come from?
The footage originates from a rally organized by Alliance Vita on Tuesday, October 23, 2012, at La Défense, during the debate on same-sex marriage. A journalist from Canal+'s Le Petit Journal interviewed an unknown participant. The woman declared: "Oh my God, it's the decadence!" and predicted that "God's wrath will fall upon France." The original clip was shared by the website Koreus, though the exact upload date remains undocumented in available sources. Subsequent viral spread details are not explicitly specified.

The reprint of the “It's the decadence” card
The “It's the decadence” card was reprinted as Epic (No. 4,243). A reprint is the same meme printed again, with a number of its own and a higher rarity than its first printing, which was rare. Its face reads “Reprinted card · Higher rarity”.
Every printing is dealt in the packs of the Memes FR pack, each at its own rarity: the higher it is, the rarer the card is to pull. Copies of the first printing already pulled stay as they are, and any printing counts toward completing a set.
MyMemeCards reprints a meme when it deserves more than the rarity of its first printing, such as a classic that became iconic after it came out: the reprint gives it a place among the most sought-after cards without taking anything from the players who already had it.
