About

Listening To Limp Bizkit And Drinking Four Loko In The Taco Bell Parking Lot is a catchphrase and concept referenced in memes that started on Instagram in early 2019. The trend picked up traction going into 2022 with memes being shared on other platforms like Twitter, iFunny and TikTok, among others.

Origin

Although the alcoholic beverage Four Loko and the rock band Limp Bizkit had been referenced together on Twitter^[1]^[2] as early as late 2010, the catchphrase wasn't officially coined until 2019 on Instagram. On March 8th, 2019, Instagram^[3] account worstigaccount posted a meme that captioned an image of Ron Swanson saying, "This is my hell," with, "When you're at a 'party' but there's no Four Loko and the DJ doesn't have any Limp Bizkit." The meme (shown below) received roughly 6,600 likes over the course of three years.

Spread

On July 26th, 2019, worstigaccount^[4] posted another meme that used the Because Your Mother Loves Roses template, earning 12,300 likes, also over the course of three years (shown below).

On August 17th, 2020, iFunnier^[5] Mantiddiez posted a meme that referenced the concept, receiving 13 smiles over two years and effectively spreading the trend to iFunny (shown below).

Instagram account worstigaccount continued to reference the concept within their posts throughout 2020, 2021 and 2022.
