It all started when Ariana Grande reposted filmmaker Jordan Firstman's "Impression of a Meme" video, which called out meme creators for turning other people's hard work into viral jokes.

Firstman said sarcastically "What if we, like, we took a moment, like a small clip from a movie or a TV show — something that, like, an artist really poured their soul into and it, like, it just took them years to make, and it was an uphill battle the entire time — what if we took a moment from that and we kind of, like, recontextualized it?

Like, does that make sense?

And we put a completely arbitrary meaning onto that thing that the artist loves so much?

Kind of, like, degrading its entire value?

I just think that could be, like, a fun, bitchy thing to do.

I'm so bored… I just kind of wanna ruin someone's life today."

His video really resonated with Grande.

And in a now-deleted Instagram Story, she shared how frustrating it can be when people impersonate her on TikTok using sound bites of her character in Nickelodeon's Victorious.

"omg can this please also double as your impression of the pony tail tik tok girls who think doing the cat valentine voice and that wearing winged eyeliner and a sweatshirt is doing a good impersonation of me … cause this really how it feels," she wrote.

"'degrading its entire value' I screamed."
