In MyMemeCards, the meme card game, “Senior Year Friends Forever” is a common card of the Brazilian Memes pack, number 176 of the collection, and the 1st best-known meme of its 300 cards. Here is what the meme means, where it comes from, and how to get its card.

What does the “Senior Year Friends Forever” meme mean?

The meme pokes fun at a very Brazilian teenage belief, that friendships formed in "terceirão" (the final year of high school) are meant to last forever, and it resurfaces whenever one of those friendships turns sour in public.

Where does the “Senior Year Friends Forever” meme come from?

The phrase surfaced on Twitter in December 2018, when user @Mirielthon attached it to an old selfie of YouTubers Kefera and Luba, who had grown apart. It only took off in February 2019, pushed by fan-club accounts mocking fallouts between idols such as the members of One Direction, Demi Lovato and the group RBD. The format then spread to Brazilian celebrity pairs like Anitta and Pablo Vittar or Anitta and Nego do Borel, reached Twitter Moments, and later circulated on entertainment outlets such as Hugo Gloss, Capricho and PopLine.
