The 'Guts' Theme' meme stems from the hauntingly beautiful track composed by Susumu Hirasawa for the 1997 Berserk anime series. While the song originally underscores the protagonist’s tragic solitude and rare moments of respite, it transitioned into internet culture as a universal soundtrack for existential dread and deep reflection. It gained massive traction through the viral 'I don't want to be horny anymore, I just want to be happy' video, where the ethereal vocals symbolize a longing for peace over worldly desires. Today, the template is used to depict characters or people staring into the distance, lost in thought, or grappling with the weight of existence, making it the go-to aesthetic for melancholic and relatable humor.
