I think everyone understands this. It's simply a way to grieve for the many things that some us think went horribly wrong in 2016, including -- but not limited to -- the deaths of some high profile and well-loved artists, musicians and actors. Personally I'm also lumping some political events in 2016's trainwreck.

Call it dark humor. No-one truly believes 2016 is sentient and murdering people.
