The phrase 'If I die, don't you cry. Just look at the sky and say goodbye' originates from early 2010s 'deep' internet culture, frequently appearing on platforms like Tumblr and Facebook alongside aesthetic or melancholic imagery. Often associated with the 'sad boy' aesthetic and characters like Bart Simpson, the meme saw a resurgence in the 2020s as both a genuine expression of teen angst and a highly ironic parody of self-serious emotional posts. It is typically used to dramatize minor inconveniences or to mock overly sentimental social media tropes, usually featuring a low-resolution image or a dramatic filter to enhance the nostalgic, melodramatic feel.
