The 'Feels Good Man' meme originates from the 2020 documentary of the same name, which follows artist Matt Furie as he attempts to reclaim his character, Pepe the Frog, from extremist groups. The film explores the evolution of Pepe from a laid-back comic character to a global cultural phenomenon and political symbol. Memes based on the film usually focus on themes of redemption, the loss of control over digital art, and the ultimate triumph of the creator's original intent. It is frequently used by the internet community to signify a return to wholesome origins or to celebrate the victory of art over irony.
