Do you smell the salt air and Watch Erotica Manila Episode 2the 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 Folkloretrack describes the haunting end of a one-sided summer romance and contains some of Swift's most quotable lyrics.

Aside from listening to the song on repeat, drinking wine, and longing for summer love, Swifties ring in August 1 by posting incessantly about the song. 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."
