9GAG is one of the world's most influential social media platforms for humor, founded in 2008 as a side project by a group of Hong Kong students. While it isn't a single image template, the '9GAG style' typically refers to vertical comic strips, rage comics, and images featuring the platform's iconic black-and-white watermark. It played a pivotal role in the globalization of internet culture, popularizing legendary memes such as 'Me Gusta' and 'Success Kid.' Today, the term is synonymous with community-driven humor that ranges from relatable daily life struggles to dark comedy and trending global events, often characterized by its loyal '9Gagger' community and their specific inside jokes.
