The 'It Follows Hello' meme originates from the 2014 supernatural horror film 'It Follows', directed by David Robert Mitchell. The scene features the protagonist Jay Height, played by Maika Monroe, as she encounters the shapeshifting entity that relentlessly pursues its victims at a walking pace. The clip captures a moment of intense dread when the entity, often appearing as a stranger or a tall man, makes a slow and deliberate entrance into a room or frame, signaling that Jay has been found once again. This tension is punctuated by the film's iconic, pulsing synth score by Disasterpeace. In internet culture, this clip is used as a reaction to represent the arrival of something unavoidable, unwanted, or looming. It perfectly encapsulates the feeling of impending doom, whether it's a social obligation, a work deadline, or an ex-partner appearing in public. It is a staple for 'me when...' captions that deal with anxiety or the realization that a problem has finally caught up to you. Example captions include: 'When you're trying to enjoy your weekend and Monday starts peaking through the window,' 'The pile of laundry in the corner of my room watching me start a new show,' and 'Me seeing the person I'm ghosting in the grocery store aisle.'
