If you've been on the internet for more than five seconds, you know that, on Friday, Harry Styles dropped his debut solo single "Sign of the Times." You also know, regardless if you've seen it yet (again, on the internet for less than five seconds), that people are losing it over Styles new song. From the moment the song was available, Twitter became a hysterical explosion of "Sign of the Times" memes, with the fandom desperately trying to condense their feelings into gifs.

Of course this isn't just the normal One Directioner solo release; Harry, from all my extensive research (being on the internet for five seconds), was the dreeeeamiest pick in the now-defunct boy band. This is the one we've all been waiting for, fam. And, as such, the fandom has latched into the "Life On Mars"-esque title track, screaming it through their social media outlets. My guess? They will probably never stop their crying, ever. Though it's very sweet that Harry knows his audience so well.

If you would, however, like to stop your tears, or alternately feel like you're a part of the madness, you're in luck. These are just some of the "Sign of the Times" memes people are crying about.
