Celebs Ditching Scooter Braun's Management, And This Week's Other Best Memes, Ranked
Here at Digg, we try our best to cover the most important and confounding memes that come across the timeline. But the web is littered with tons of great memes that never quite hit the mainstream and instead just bounce around the weird corners of Twitter or Reddit. Enter our recurring feature, Memes, Ranked.
This week, we're celebrating the return of Miss Biljana Electronica, worshipping the Holy Trinity and getting up to speed with the famous faces parting ways with talent manager Scooter Braun.
3. 'Planet of the Bass' redux
The Meme
For one final hurrah, Kyle Gordon and Audrey Trullinger made a full-length music video of their wildly popular "Planet of the Bass" song, which they even performed live at a recent Jonas Brothers' show. The video saw Trullinger reprise her role as Ms. Bilijana Electronica, which is was what everyone loved, and what became the primary focus of the song's final round of memes.

Planet of the Bass really is a perfect liberal anthem. It has aspirations to world peace, enthusiastic support for women, pro-sexual liberation attitudes, pro-alien sentiment, and a love of vaguely European things pic.twitter.com/gaFm66lYdu

2. The Holy Trinity
The Meme
As a Jew, I have only heard about the father, the son and the holy spirit. I have not experienced any of them, nor have I studied or prayed to them. But the sentence โYeah Iโm religious, I believe in the Holy Trinityโ is a funny premise for a meme where you just get an image of three people or pets or objects that you like, and hey presto, youโre a part of the culture for this week.
(Just FYI: Diggโs Holy Trinity is liking our content, commenting on it and subscribing to our newsletters.)

1. Scooter Braun rumors
The Meme
Scooter Braun is a music exec and talent manager, perhaps best known for discovering Justin Bieber and having very public beef with Taylor Swift. Up until very recently, Braunโs roster of high-profile clients included major pop stars Demi Lovato and Ariana Grande โ but they, along with a handful of other stars, have reportedly parted ways with him.
The reason behind the celebsโ apparent departures is still unclear, which has, of course, set Twitter abuzz with speculation โ but users also found time to repurpose a well-known meme template in response to the news.
