Dank Memes refer to internet content that is intentionally bizarre, surreal, or exhausted to the point of being funny again. Unlike mainstream memes, dank memes often rely on meta-humor, deep-fried aesthetics, and niche references that appeal to seasoned web users on platforms like Reddit and Discord. The term 'dank' originally described high-quality substances but was co-opted by internet subcultures to signify content that pushes the boundaries of traditional humor. Today, they represent a culture of irony where the more nonsensical or visually distorted the image, the more 'dank' it is considered to be by the community, often serving as a counter-culture to overused corporate memes.
