The 'Fuck Them Kids' meme features a photoshopped image of NBA legend Michael Jordan looking unapologetically competitive, accompanied by the cold, blunt caption. While the phrase didn't actually originate from a specific interview, it perfectly encapsulates Jordan's legendary 'win at all costs' mentality and his reputation for not going easy on younger players at his basketball camps. It first gained viral traction on Twitter around 2018 and has since become the go-to reaction for situations involving ruthless competition, gaming victories over beginners, or any moment where someone prioritizes their own success or indifference over being nice to the younger generation.
