There’s a thin line between love and hate, and the Internet continually straddles it. While we recognize the many reasons we could absolutely, never ever, live offline, 2013 has been a year full of things we'd like to never see again. Compared to 2012, memes and viral content were given steroids in 2013, and the digital trends that popped up need to be retired. Immediately. #ASAP. However you want to put it. Full disclosure: we’ve willingly perpetuated many of these ourselves, but we’re ready to see them die a dignified death. From DOGE to side-eyeing Chloe, here are The Worst Internet Trends of 2013.

Side-eying Chloe

I do believe that children are the future and Chloe has the most expressive side-eye, but doesn't she deserve better than to be plastered all over the Internet without her own permission?

Lil Terrio

It's hard to tell, but it seems as though more people are laughing at Terrio rather than with him. And that's a little too mean-spirited.
