By now, we’ve already discussed in detail why internet celebrity (and my ideal offspring) Baby Yoda is so great, to a degree that he should probably run for president.
A lot of us haven’t even watched a single episode of The Mandalorian, the Disney+ Star Wars spinoff that gave Baby Yoda a platform to steal our hearts, but that doesn’t mean we can’t participate in enjoying memes of the robed green creature. Naturally, many such memes have centered around music, whether little Yoda is bumping “Get Low” from the cockpit of his spaceship or proudly holding Charli XCX’s Pop 2 mixtape.
This week, a Twitter account by the username @emo_yoda joined in on the fun for a specific lane of music lovers. In the wake of viral Instagram accounts like “Chandler Holding Ur Fav Album” and “Drake Loves Ur Fav Album,” where different album covers are edited into the hands of either Chandler from Friends or Drake from Drake and Josh, @emo_yoda is where your favorite emo, pop-punk, and indie records are all beheld by the baby himself.
It all started a few days ago when Baby Yoda started listening to Modern Baseball’s Holy Ghost. While he certainly enjoys the classics—the header photo is Baby Yoda superimposed over the cover photo for American Football’s 1999 debut—he enjoys many newer records, as well, like Joyce Manor’s Never Hungover Again, Snail Mail’s Lush, and PUP’s Morbid Stuff. The latter band responded, saying, “Just noticing your profile photo, which is totally f**king unhinged.” The photo is unhinged, indeed: a shot of Pope Francis lifting a chalice, except the Pope’s face is edited over with PUP frontman Stefan Babcock and the chalice is—you guessed it—Baby Yoda. Imagining Baby Yoda would headbang to PUP or cry to American Football is a true delight, and we’re thankful for all iterations of the meme to keep him alive in his adorable glory forever.
