2015 sucked. For all the great albums produced in the past 12 months, there were still plenty of signs pointing to humanity’s continued decline. We are a savage species, and our pop culture memes often expose the depths of that savagery. When a man is lost at sea, it’s cause for alarm. But when he’s lost at sea with Snapchat, it’s theater.
Let’s put all these horrific moments behind us and move on into 2016 with a a final memory purge. Here are 15 moments we’ll be happy to forget.
DJ Khaled got lost at sea on his jetski and almost forgot a major key to success: don’t jetski at night.

Pharmaceutical super-villain Martin Shkreli price-gouged life-saving drugs, bought the Wu-Tang album, got arrested, and said he wanted to “dominate the rap industry.” Please stop.

Ariana Grande licked a donut and it was national news. Moving on.

TIDAL was really confident that people would care about hi-fidelity streaming. After one of the most awkward press conferences of all time, we weren’t sure of anything anymore.

Slim Jesus snuck onto our timelines and newsfeeds by flashing guns and money he later told Vlad TV were fake. Shocker. Are his 15 seconds up yet?
