The 'Funkytown' meme refers to one of the most notorious shock videos in internet history, originating from the Mexican drug war. The name is derived from the Lipps Inc. disco hit 'Funkytown,' which plays audibly in the background of the gruesome footage. In meme culture, the song has become a dark 'if you know, you know' reference, often paired with images of people appearing traumatized or the 'thousand-yard stare' reaction face. It represents the darker side of internet curiosity and is frequently cited in discussions about the most disturbing content found on platforms like Reddit and TikTok, serving as a benchmark for internet desensitization and the 'rabbit hole' of shock media.
