As we all vie for a distraction from the world’s woes, an alleged affair exposed via the Jumbotron at a Coldplay concert has become the meme of the summer. Over the past week, the internet has been reveling in poking fun at a viral clip from the band’s sold-out gig at Gillette Stadium outside Boston. The footage, taken during the concert’s “kiss cam segment,” seems to have unshrouded a possible extramarital rendezvous between Andy Byron, the chief executive officer of New York-based data firm Astronomer, and Kristin Cabot, the head of the company’s HR department. Sure, it’s a reminder that we live in a constant surveillance state, but it’s also chef’s kiss-level meme fodder, yielding everything from recreations of Edvard Munch’s The Scream (1893) and new interpretations of Greek antiquity to a resurgence of years-old viral moments.
