The 'Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse' meme is a versatile format used to categorize four items, people, or concepts that represent a specific theme, usually in a humorous or hyperbolic way. While the imagery is rooted in the biblical figures representing Conquest, War, Famine, and Death, the internet has repurposed the concept to group together anything from 'terrible' fast food chains to specific social media archetypes. It gained significant traction on platforms like Twitter and Reddit, where users often use it to satirize pop culture or niche hobbies by identifying the four most influential or notorious elements of a subject. The layout typically features a grid of four distinct images, making it an ideal visual shorthand for ranking or classifying cultural phenomena.
