The 'If You're 20-30 and Your Main Circle Isn't Discussing' meme began as a serious piece of motivational content often shared by 'grindset' influencers on platforms like LinkedIn and Twitter. The original text listed topics like real estate, stocks, and crypto as essentials for any ambitious social circle. However, the internet quickly turned the earnest advice into a viral parody format. By replacing high-stakes financial topics with absurdities like Bionicle lore, video game strategies, or nostalgic pop culture, users mock the self-seriousness of hustle culture. It has evolved into a relatable way to celebrate the genuine, often silly, bonds that exist within real friend groups.
