Thanks to rap powerhouse Megan Thee Stallion, we just had ourselves an iconic Hot Girl Summer. Now that it’s officially over, people are offering takes on what theme fall should have. Christian Girl Autumn looked like the frontrunner for a while, if only because there weren’t any challengers—but now the competition has really taken off.
Grand Theft Autumn, inspired by a 2003 Fall Out Boy song, is one strong contender.
Hot girl summer is over. It’s time for grand theft autumn

Does Hot Girl Summer transition to Grand Theft Autumn?

🤔
People are actually renaming their accounts to get into the spirit of things.

Even with this much of a head start, though, there’s still some stiff competition. Some fans torn between Grand Theft Autumn and Thotumn for this fall.
Thotumn
I’ve seen Thotumn and Grand Theft Autumn. I’m here for both

Thotumn seems to be a fan favorite and, as both a pun and a sequel to hot girl Summer, it’s going to be hard to beat.

As we move into thotumn, please remember to pumpkin spice that pussy.

hot girl summer died so thotumn could thrive

Some alternative suggestions, however, are just as magnificent and deserve our equal consideration.

Journalist Ash Sarkar’s suggestion is eminently relatable (but really, isn’t it Social Anxiety Season all year round?).
Hot Girl Summer is over. Welcome to Social Anxiety Autumn.
— Ash Sarkar (@AyoCaesar) September 2, 2019
Sad Girl Autumn seems to be a thing, too. Hopefully it references more of a melancholy aesthetic than actual depression but, then again, the world is a bit of a trash fire right now—quite literally, considering the state of the Amazon.

hot girl summer was spent on the beach in sexy bikinis but welcome to depressed rat autumn where we cry in bathtubs and develop acute social anxiety all while binging the same five episodes of the office

Twitter user $hy Charle$ proposes a nonbinary takeover of the season and, frankly, it’s about time for some nonbinary shine.
