The 'Goth' meme encompasses a wide range of internet subcultures, most notably popularized through the Wojak and Doomer Girl characters. These memes often contrast the gothic or alternative aesthetic with mainstream 'normie' culture, highlighting themes of existential dread, specific music preferences, or monochromatic fashion choices. From the early 2000s subculture tropes to modern TikTok 'e-girl' evolutions, the Goth meme serves as a relatable medium for those who embrace the darker, more melancholic side of life. It is frequently used to represent social outsiders or to satirize the specific archetypes within the gothic and alternative scenes.
