In MyMemeCards, the meme card game, “Je hais cette époque” is a common card of the Memes FR pack, number 1284 of the collection, and the 753rd best-known meme of its 3502 cards. Here is what the meme means, where it comes from, and how to get its card.
What does the “Je hais cette époque” meme mean?
The phrase voices weariness with the times in a deliberately grandiose tone. Whoever quotes it plays the world-weary elder without taking it seriously. People use it for a new feature judged absurd, an irritating habit, gloomy news, or a small daily annoyance such as a network outage. The gap between the gravity of the wording and the triviality of the cause is what makes the meme work, and it travels well because anyone can plug in their own pet peeve.
Where does the “Je hais cette époque” meme come from?
Michel Sardou is a French singer whose career dates back to the 1960s. In September 2019, as a guest on the RTL morning show opposite host Yves Calvi, he talked about the present day and said he disliked it. The clip was shared on YouTube under the title “Je hais cette époque” and then featured on the TV show Touche pas à mon poste, which widened its reach. Internet users turned the line into a meme: video edits, remixes and spoofs lifted it out of context and made it a general reply for comic discouragement.

The reprint of the “Je hais cette époque” card
