Dashcam video memes stem from the massive influx of real-life road footage uploaded to platforms like YouTube and Reddit, particularly originating from Eastern Europe and the United States. These videos often capture everything from extreme meteor strikes and bizarre accidents to heated road rage confrontations. As a meme format, they tap into the 'POV' (Point of View) trend, putting the viewer directly in the driver's seat of a chaotic or absurd situation. They are widely used to satirize reckless driving, insurance fraud attempts, or simply the unpredictable nature of daily commutes, often paired with Eurobeat music or edited with video game HUDs for added comedic effect.
