What is the I love the Smiths trend?
The I love the Smiths trend is a meme that remakes the elevator scene from the 2009 film (500) Days of Summer: Tom wears big headphones playing The Smiths, his coworker Summer says “I love the Smiths”, he does not catch it, and she says it again before telling him he has good taste in music. Remakes recast the exchange with partners, friends, coworkers or pets.
The scene stars Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Zooey Deschanel in (500) Days of Summer (2009). It is a different line from “I love the Smiths, best breakup band ever”, which is from The Perks of Being a Wallflower (2012); this page only makes the elevator version.
What does “you have good taste in music” mean in the meme?
“You have good taste in music” is the compliment Summer adds after repeating “I said I love the Smiths”: she has heard the song in Tom's headphones and uses it to start a conversation with a coworker she barely knows. In the I love the Smiths meme the line works as a playful way to say two people share a favourite band. In this generator Photo 2 plays Summer's part, and the sound is the film scene's own dialogue, so the voices are the original actors'.
Is there an I love the Smiths meme template or meme generator?
An I love the Smiths meme template and a meme generator are different tools. A template in an editing app is a ready edit where you drop in your own filmed clips over the fixed sound, so both people still have to film themselves. The I Love the Smiths AI meme generator on this page starts from two still photos and asks the video model to recast the 500 Days elevator two-shot, so nobody films anything.
A “500 days i love the smiths template” can mean either one. If you already have clips of both people, an editing template is the quicker route; if you only have photos, or the two of you are in different places, use the generator.

View credit packsWhat the I love the Smiths AI generator can't do
The I Love the Smiths AI generator makes one 15-second widescreen 16:9 take of the elevator two-shot, ending before Summer walks out. It does not make a vertical 9:16 version, a longer cut, other scenes from the film, or new voices: the sound is the film scene's audio, so the mouths follow its timing rather than your own voice.
The prompt asks the model to give each person the face, hair and clothes from their own photo and to keep the two roles on their sides; results vary with the model and the photos, and this page has not run a paid test yet. Clear, front-facing photos of one person each work best.
I love the Smiths AI FAQ
What song plays in the I love the Smiths meme?
The song in Tom's headphones is The Smiths' “There Is a Light That Never Goes Out” from the 1986 album The Queen Is Dead. The video from this page carries the film scene's own audio, so the song and both actors' lines are in it.
Can I turn the video into an I love the Smiths meme GIF?
Yes. Download the MP4 and convert the part you want with any video-to-GIF converter; a GIF has no sound, so the line itself will not be heard.
Can one of the photos be my pet?
Yes, either photo can show a dog or cat. The prompt asks the model to keep the animal's species, fur and markings and to have it make the same head turns; results vary with the model and photo.
Do I need an app to make it on my phone?
No. The generator runs in a phone browser such as Safari or Chrome: pick both photos from your camera roll, generate, and save the MP4 to share to TikTok or Instagram.
