“Not forever 21, apparently.” – Fans roast the brand’s bankruptcy with hilarious memes

Forever 21 is back in the social media headlines, but this time with some sad news. Once known as the go-to shopping destination for fast fashion aficionados and that one outlet to offer quirky dresses before a wild night out, it apparently faces a second bankruptcy.

The brand will close down all of its existing shops according to reports posted online. Fans found this incident to be a perfect humor mine, playing on the word 'forever' to take funny digs.

Not forever 21, apparently.

Apparently this has become the go-to catchphrase for this bankruptcy drama occurring a second time in a row. Many will be facing the inevitable consequence (don't get too serious yet; we are talking fashion fail here) of stores closing down.

Imagine getting all ready to post the latest fits and styling transformation on your Instagram and stepping into the store; you see the sign 'closed for business.'. You will be surprised, but sudden bankruptcies are not that uncommon in the realm of fashion.

Some fans got teary-eyed bidding farewell to their one-stop shopping destination, while others thought this would be a perfect time to grab 27 tank tops in the last-minute clearance sale.

Other netizens are taking to social media with memes that scream 'Guess 21 is not forever anymore.' While others are launching expert schemes to write 'manager at Forever 21' to flex their work experience without getting caught.

Titanic fans are having a weird déjà vu. Or should we say treva-vu? The brand that once had an unsinkable reputation seemed to have hit a giant iceberg. As Forever 21 briefly turned 21, we are once again met with existential dread.

Some even started questioning life choices and wondering if anything is permanent at all in today's world. Is it too wild to ask the fan-favorite question? Do Forever 21 receipts last longer than the stores that give them to their customers?

The internet is full of 'turns out forever had an expiration date' comments. Some are in disbelief over the news because last time they checked, the stores were always full.

But hold on! We are here for the unadulterated humor that is taking over the comment section with rib-ticklingly funny memes.
