Alphabet Lore is a wildly popular animated web series created by Mike Salcedo that reimagines the English alphabet as a cast of characters with complex relationships and a dramatic storyline. The series gained massive traction in 2022 across YouTube and TikTok, particularly focusing on the 'villainous' letter F and the heroic N. It evolved from a simple creative exercise into a global phenomenon, inspiring countless fan theories, parodies, and 'lore' memes. The meme usage typically involves reacting to the surprisingly dark plot twists of the series or using the distinct character designs to represent different personalities and situations in everyday life.
