A blue wave is here, and Gen Z is responding the way they know best: with #memes.

From “Blexas” to “Bliowa,” young people are turning this week’s Nov. 3 #midterms into a viral moment. The #election flipped the House and Senate, and Democrats also pulled off several down-ballot races in a defeat over President Donald Trump and Republicans. It’s something the internet is calling the #blueification of states.

“Blexas, Blichigan, Bliowa, Blaine, Blorth Carolina, Blouth Caroline, Blansas… Blhat’s going on?” TikToker Cassie Willson joked in a video with more than 109,000 likes.

Videos at Tuesday night watch parties and bar celebrations got in on the excitement with hashtags like #Blexas and #bluewave.
