The 'Hey (With The Intention Of...)' meme is a popular snowclone that originated on social media platforms like Twitter and Tumblr, satirizing the subtext behind everyday greetings and DM slides. By explicitly stating a hidden motive—ranging from wholesome desires like 'marriage' to chaotic ones like 'sending you 40 niche memes'—the format highlights the blunt honesty or social anxiety inherent in modern digital communication. It gained widespread popularity as a way for users to be self-deprecatingly transparent about their social interactions. The meme eventually evolved from simple text posts into various image-based formats where characters are edited into chat interfaces to express their specific, often absurd, goals.
