19 times Charlie Brown perfectly described snobby record collectors

by Mark Teo

Were we to guess Charlie Brown’s musical tastes, we’d surmise that the classic Charles Schulz character would love melancholy music: He’d probably dig ’90s Midwestern emo, mopey ’80s British indie-pop and, due to his evident love for dogs, crust punk. The Internet’s imagination, however, doesn’t stop there—and thanks to a collection of memes we found on Collapse Board, here, he’s imagined as everything from a Plan-It X-loving freegan punk, an overweight member of the Pains of Being Pure at Heart, and a sexless Radiohead fan. It’s our favourite Peanuts-based musical phenomenon on this side of the Smiths-themed This Charming Charlie.

Not only are these images hilarious, but it’s hard not to see a little bit of ourselves in ’em—and maybe that isn’t a good thing. Got any additions to this meme? Toss ’em in the comments.
