The Green Screen Scan meme, primarily driven by the 'Time Warp Scan' filter on social media, allows users to freeze pixels line-by-line as a scanner moves across the screen. Originating as a viral challenge on TikTok, it quickly evolved into a popular meme format used to create surreal distortions, elongated limbs, or 'failed' attempts at looking normal. The charm of the meme lies in its unpredictable and often 'cursed' results, where users try to time their movements perfectly with the passing line. It is frequently used to represent social awkwardness, physical glitches, or the contrast between expectations and reality in a digital age.
