The 'Battle of Mid' meme is a satirical take on internet discourse, used to describe a conflict or comparison between two things that are deemed mediocre or 'mid.' While 'mid' became a popular slang term for uninspiring or average quality around 2021, the 'Battle of Mid' specifically highlights the irony of fans or critics debating which mediocre entity is superior. It is frequently applied to anime, video games, or sports teams that are stuck in the middle of the pack. The humor stems from the dramatic framing of a confrontation where neither side is actually impressive, turning an intense rivalry into a joke about low standards.
