The 'Feel Like Pure Shit Just Want Her Back x' meme originated from a Snapchat selfie posted by a girl named Alice, who looked visibly distraught. First gaining traction on Twitter around 2014, the image captured a specific brand of raw, dramatic teenage angst that resonated across the internet. While the original post was sincere, it quickly evolved into a versatile template for ironic melodrama. Users frequently swap out the context to express heartbreak over trivial inconveniences, such as a favorite snack being discontinued or a fictional character leaving a show. The 'x' at the end, signifying a kiss in British texting culture, adds a layer of authenticity to its viral origins.
