The Fake History meme, often associated with the 'FakeHistoryPorn' community, involves taking an image from modern pop culture—such as a still from a movie, a video game, or a candid celebrity photo—and adding a caption that misidentifies it as a significant historical event. These captions typically include a specific year and the descriptor 'colorized' to mimic the style of archival photography collections. The humor stems from the absurd juxtaposition of recognizable modern scenes with serious historical contexts. This meme format gained massive traction on Reddit and Twitter, evolving into a versatile tool for satire, political commentary, and surrealist internet humor.
