The 'Kiss Your Homies Goodnight' meme is a popular internet subgenre that humorously promotes performative platonic affection between male friends, often referred to as 'homiesexuality.' Emerging in the late 2010s, it subverts traditional norms of masculinity by suggesting that true friendship requires intimate, exaggerated gestures of care, like a forehead kiss before sleep. The meme typically uses wholesome or surreal imagery to mock toxic masculinity while simultaneously celebrating deep, unexpressed bonds of brotherhood. It has become a staple in 'wholesome meme' communities, frequently appearing in ironic Twitter threads and TikTok skits where friends go to extreme lengths to prove their loyalty to the 'homies.'
