The 'Let Me In' meme features comedian Eric André frantically rattling a metal gate outside the Democratic National Convention during a 2016 episode of The Eric André Show. As he screams 'Let me in! Let me iiiiiiinnnnn!', the scene perfectly encapsulates feelings of extreme desperation, exclusion, or the intense desire to be part of something exclusive. It gained massive popularity across social media platforms like Twitter and Reddit as a way to express FOMO, frustration with being locked out of accounts, or the struggle of trying to enter a specific community or trend.
