If you're anything like me, you've had the lyrics of the Charli xcx song 'I think about it all the time' blaring through your head constantly since June at the latest. Maybe you're more of a 'Von Dutch' or 'Apple' party girl, but I can't help loving a catchy meditation on growing older and contemplating starting a family. It's safe to say that having a baby is Charli's Roman Empire, so to speak, and that's so very relatable. Personally, I think the whole brat album is my Roman Empire, and it will probably be until Charli wins Album of the Year at the Grammys.
For every Roman Empire, there's also a Byzantine Empire; the thing that you think of a lot but with a little less frequency than your primary fixation. If you are searching for a Byzantine Empire, why not pick memes? They're funny, easy to share, and will fill a void that is left empty by sad songs.
