The 'Doom' meme primarily utilizes the iconic cover art from the 1993 first-person shooter game, featuring a space marine battling a relentless horde of demons. Known as 'Doomguy,' the protagonist's struggle has become a universal symbol for facing overwhelming odds with sheer determination. While it originated as a staple of 90s gaming culture, the template surged in popularity as a 'label meme' where the demons represent daily stresses, chores, or responsibilities, and Doomguy represents the user. It is often used to convey a sense of 'Rip and Tear' energy when tackling difficult situations or to humorously highlight how outmatched someone feels against a specific challenge.
