The 'Boysmell' meme refers to a slang term that gained traction within specific online subcultures, particularly on platforms like Twitter, Tumblr, and Reddit. It describes the perceived natural scent of a young man, often used in a way that blends irony, hyper-fixation, and niche internet humor. While the term originated in more localized community spaces associated with femboy culture and the LGBTQ+ community, it eventually leaked into the broader meme ecosystem as a shorthand for specific character archetypes. Today, it is used primarily in reaction images to express exaggerated attraction or as part of the 'bottom-posting' linguistic style common in online fanbases.
