Reaction Meme

A type of meme used online as a reaction to a social media post, mostly used on Twitter. Reaction memes can be in the form of images, videos, or gifs. They are typically used in comedic ways, and most people believe that using them in serious situations is a shitty thing to do.

Reaction memes also come in two types: Normal, and cringe. Normal memes typically feature a person or cartoon character reacting with a certain emotion depending on whatever it is that they’re reacting to. Cringe memes typically feature a cartoon or video game character looking at the camera and saying some corny shit like “Aight bro, that’s it. Give me your phone.” as a response to someone saying something weird. Cringe memes hit their peak in popularity on Twitter in 2020, but thankfully, cringe memes are slowly being used less and less, and nowadays you really only find them in the Animation Twitter Community. Don’t be like them.

An example of a normal meme being used:
Twitter User: Maaaaan Rihanna so bad i’m finna nut
Other Twitter User: Dawg what?? >insert funny image of Spongebob looking uncomfortable<

An example of a cringe meme being used:
Twitter User: Guys. My dad is dead.
Annoying Unfunny Band Kid: erm, dude what? >insert that fucking stupid ass Pizza Tower Scream meme<
Twitter User: Dude what the hell, reaction memes are supposed to be funny
