The 'It Ain't Me' meme primarily draws its inspiration from the iconic chorus of Creedence Clearwater Revival’s 'Fortunate Son,' a song historically associated with the Vietnam War era and the concept of avoiding the military draft. In modern internet culture, the meme saw a massive resurgence through TikTok, where users paired the audio with visual filters—often depicting characters shaking their heads in rhythmic denial. Whether it involves the LEGO version of the scene or a person dodging a chore, the meme perfectly captures the universal sentiment of 'not it.' It is widely used to humorously distance oneself from a specific group, undesirable expectation, or responsibility.
