The 'Early Life' Wikipedia Section meme refers to the online trend of checking an individual's biographical details on Wikipedia to find specific history or background information. While it gained notoriety in certain internet subcultures for investigating political or ethnic lineage, it has since evolved into a broader reaction image representing the act of deep-diving into a person's past the moment they become a topic of public interest. The meme captures the obsessive nature of internet sleuths who bypass a person's current achievements to find 'lore' about their upbringing, family ties, or social status, often used to humorously suggest that someone's success was inevitable or to find a 'gotcha' moment in their history.
