The Dougie meme stems from the 2010 hip-hop hit 'Teach Me How to Dougie' by Cali Swag District, which revitalized a dance style originally inspired by 1980s icon Doug E. Fresh. On the internet, the 'Dougie' has transcended the dance floor to become a versatile template used for reaction images, often featuring characters with cool or awkward energy trying to master the move. Whether it’s paired with nostalgic TV characters or used to highlight a sudden burst of swagger, the meme captures the infectious confidence of the early 2010s digital culture. It remains a staple for anyone looking to blend music history with modern internet irony.
