Joking swings between doom and hope. It's so over means things went badly. We're so back means things are good again.

Missed the bus, it's so over. Wait, no class first period? We're so back.

Dramatic on purpose and almost always about small things. Not a sign of real despair on its own.

Grew out of internet memes from the late 2010s and early 2020s. Joever and barack are pun versions using US presidents' names.

Also heard as

we're so back, it's so joever, we're barack
