What’s the My Plans vs 2020 trend?
The meme shows people taking to Twitter to show how their plans for 2020 have well and truly been ruined.
The trend sees a Twitter user post two pictures, one captioned “my plans” and the other captioned “2020”.
The pictures tend to take inspiration from pop culture, films and TV shows, wherein the picture acting as the “my plans” is someone (or something) enjoying themselves who doesn’t realise something bad is going to happen to them.

For example, one person joined in on the trend by referencing American Psycho.
They used a picture of Paul Allen (played by Jared Leto) to represent the “my plans” and a picture of Patrick Bateman (Christian Bale) in his clear plastic suit about to murder Paul as the representative for 2020.
