The first month of 2021 hasn’t even come to a close yet, so obviously a photo of Bernie Sanders in fuzzy mittens has erupted as a viral meme. Because, well, 2021.

A slew of EDM artists took a crack at their own version of the “Cold Bernie” meme, including DJ Snake, Alesso, and NERVO, among many others. Check out some of the best below.
