Do you smell the salt air and sex videos, tumblrthe rust on your door?
If you do, you're probably one of the many Taylor Swift fans who consider August 1 a holiday. When Swift released "August" three years ago, she incidentally devoted an entire month to yearning. The first of the month marks the unofficial start of the season for "living for the hope of it all." The Folkloretrack describes the haunting end of a one-sided summer romance and contains some of Swift's most quotable lyrics.

It's truly a feat how many memes can be derived from the source material. One meme posted on Twitter reads, "people who celebrate August 1st are annoying pass it on, FUCK this post and happy salt air and the rust on your door." Another says, "get in loser, we're living for the hope of it all."
