The 'Cry About It' meme is a dismissive internet catchphrase used as a sarcastic rebuttal to anyone expressing grievances, anger, or frustration online. Originating as a simple text-based retort on forums like 4chan and Twitter, it evolved into a popular video and image format often featuring a rotating 3D emoji or a smug character. The phrase is designed to be a definitive conversation-ender, signaling that the user is completely indifferent to the other person's complaints. During its peak in the early 2020s, it became a staple of ironic meme culture and 'Sigma' edits, frequently used to celebrate unpopular opinions or to mock players in competitive gaming environments.
