Behind The Meme refers to a popular YouTube series created by Kyle Adams that became a cultural phenomenon for documenting and explaining the origins of various internet trends. While intended as an educational resource for those 'out of the loop,' the channel itself became a meme due to its distinctive narration style and the controversial community sentiment that explaining a meme effectively 'kills' its humor. The template is now widely used to mock overly detailed explanations, signal the peak of a trend, or provide genuine historical context for digital folklore in a recognizable and often ironic format.
