The Mareux 'The Perfect Girl' meme refers to the viral surge of the 2021 synth-wave cover of The Cure's original song, which became the unofficial anthem for 'Literally Me' and 'Sigma Male' internet subcultures. Often paired with slow-motion clips of Ryan Gosling in Blade Runner 2049 or Christian Bale in American Psycho, the song encapsulates feelings of stoic loneliness, existential dread, and the pursuit of an idealized partner. The meme evolved from simple TikTok edits into a widespread symbol of the 'Doomer' aesthetic, representing a specific blend of 80s nostalgia and modern internet melancholy. It is most commonly used to highlight moments of silent reflection or to lean into the hyper-masculine, emotionally detached persona popular on social media.
