At this point it feels like the loss meme is completely divorced from its original meaning and more a „where can I fit it in“ like running Doom on a pregnancy test or Bad Apple on Christmas lights.
It is, people do this to mock the artist for something he does iirc.
I wouldn't be surprised if there was a whole generation for whom loss is the "hide some lines in your posts" meme and who have never even seen the original comic let alone know who Tim Buckley is.
And you don't see the beauty in that?
