The 'Be Me' meme format is a staple of internet culture, originating primarily from 4chan’s greentext stories. It serves as a narrative device where the author describes a personal experience—often humorous, cringe-inducing, or surreal—in a bulleted list format starting with the phrase 'Be me.' This style of storytelling relies on a specific cadence that strips away complex grammar to focus on the absurdity of the situation. While it began in anonymous imageboards, it has since transcended those platforms to become a universal way for social media users to share self-deprecating or relatable anecdotes in a concise, recognizable aesthetic.
