Uhm ackchually he became deaf long after becoming a renowned musician.

I don't think this warrants the ackchually since the meme is pretty pointless when considering that fact.

Also, did anybody really tell him he couldn’t be a musician?

I'm starting to think this meme might not be 100% historically accurate 🤔

It would be better if memes made sense. Beethoven only went deaf late in life.

It is the > but did he listen? part that is the joke

do people really think he was deaf before he became a musician? obviously not

Is this a joke about deaf people listening? I'm not sure I get it.

Don't have an aneurysm over it.

these kind of memes do better on FB, where there is no dislike buttom, and correcting replies are counted on the engagement metrics
