The 'Lil Bro Was Born In 2024' meme is part of a broader internet trend where users mock the relative youth of younger generations, specifically targeting the newest members of Gen Alpha. It often depicts newborns or infants with captions that highlight the modern, often chaotic world they've just entered, or conversely, historical events they were too late to experience. The phrase 'Lil Bro' adds a condescending yet humorous tone, suggesting that the child is already 'behind' or entering a world defined by AI and digital absurdity. This meme gained massive traction on platforms like TikTok and X (formerly Twitter) as a way for older Gen Z and Millennials to joke about their own aging by contrasting their life experiences with those who are only just beginning their lives in the mid-2020s.
