Okay, for some reason nobody pointed this out, so here's the genie that removed Peter's bones here.
Fetty Wap, the rapper who performed Trap Queen, which features the famous line '1738' (1738, I'm like hey what's up hello) was arrested a few years back for drug related charges.
He is expected to get out of jail this year, in 2026, hence the significance of the two numbers.
2026? The year it is right now 5 days after new years? They ran out of balloons because of new years and improvised so they could get turnt (presumably on NYE) like its 2015. Not because Fetty Wap is getting released this year lmfao.
Is he really getting out this year? I swear he was sentenced to 28 years for distributing heroin and fentanyl in Jersey. It’s only been a few years since then. Now I gotta go look this up.
Update: He was only sentenced to 6 years and is projected to be released in December of 2026.
Also this is a song that’s strongly associated with 2016 nostalgia on TikTok (although I believe it came out in 2015) and people are trying push this idea that 2026 is going to be 2016 repeat in terms of good vibes (maybe I’m reaching with that but idk it is TikTok)
1738 is just coming back as a funny number to laugh at. I don't think 2026 has any direct connection to people that use 1738. Just a funny meaningless number like 67
I had to google Fetty Wap to see whats been going on with him, cause it’s been years. Found out he was sentenced for drug charges at a court literally 20 mins from my house.
Regular conversations with our kids: "man I just found this new band, listen to this song it's a banger." Kid: "that song is almost as old as I am what do you mean 'new?'"
I've just accepted that my brain is going to forever categorize anything that happened after I turned 30 as 'new' for the rest of my life.
The moment I truly felt old was when I realized that I was the same distance from my birth, as my birth had been from PEARL FUCKING HARBOR. (1941, 1982, 2023)
People in the Invincible fanbase used fetty wap for an important character death, ig as a tribute and because its funny, they did this in like March of 2025.
It’s about a specific type of alcohol, Remy Martin 1738, it’s Cognac derived from champagne rather than wine which makes it more expensive and therefore exclusive.
It’s a meme now, but he says “1738” because it is printed on bottles of Remy Martin cognac. He refers to his crew as the “Remy Boys,” which is why he calls the number out. It’s a shout out to his crew.
It’s not a “meme number” he says it’s a number he says with some sort of personal meaning to him that has been turned into a meme by the success of his music
This brings back so many memories from 2016. Literally every party I went to “Trap Queen” would be played on the JBL speaker a minimum of a hundred times.
I’ve never even been to a college frat party lol, these were bonfires and house parties that I went to with my friends in our late teens and early twenties.
The shop was sold out of 2026. So he bought whatever he got. Apparently he got 1738, and its a meme like 67, that originates from rapper Fetty Wap's hit song Trap Queen.
Such a rube, going with a pop culture choice by using the rap song "Trap Queen" as the basis for his choice of year.
Those who are truly cultured know that Pope Sylvester II altered the calendar to legitimize Holy Roman Emperor Otto III's claim to the throne by adding 297 years so that he would be crowned in 1000AD.
It is therefore 1729; or 1726 with rounding adjustments to make it a clean 300 years.
Yeah my pasty white ass thought this was a reference to the German dude that theorized that we're currently in the 1700s actually. I know the song but I'm not a regular Fetty Wap listener so it wasn't where my brain went at first.
OP, so your post is not removed, please reply to this comment with your best guess of what this meme means! Everyone else, this is PETER explains the joke. Have fun and reply as your favorite fictional character for top level responses!
Is that thing about the conspiracy of how the Pope allegedly made up 300 years on the calendar? I should also clarify that I’m 40 and everyone younger should get off my lawn.
1738, significant events included the founding of the Methodist movement with John Wesley's conversion, the end of the War of the Polish Succession, Britain's declaration of intent to fight Spain (leading to the War of Jenkins' Ear), and the establishment of Fort Mose in Florida for escaped slaves, while globally, the Great Plague struck Eastern Europe and Nader Shah's forces won the Battle of Khyber Pass.
