The 'I Was Never Book Smart, I'm Money Smart' meme originated from a viral video snippet featuring lyrics from the artist 10k.Caash, often linked to the high-energy 'Mega Man' track hype. The specific phrasing 'Don't worry Mega Man drops Jan 7th' served as a countdown that internet users quickly turned into a copypasta and audio trend. It captures a specific brand of ironic confidence, where the subject dismisses traditional education in favor of perceived financial savvy or 'street smarts.' The meme is widely used on TikTok and Twitter to accompany videos of people doing ridiculous things or making bold claims about their success, turning a promotional line into a universal anthem for the 'hustle' culture.
