The 'Are You Tired of Being Nice?' meme, often followed by the punchline 'Don't you just want to go apeshit?', originated from a 2014 Tumblr post that captured the collective feeling of social exhaustion. Over time, the phrase became synonymous with overly dramatic, 'edgy' imagery, frequently paired with characters like Shadow the Hedgehog or dark anime protagonists. It satirizes the feeling of reaching one's limit with politeness and the sudden urge to act out without restraint. Today, it is used both unironically to express genuine frustration and ironically to mock the self-seriousness of online 'edge-lords' and dramatic social media venting.
