Mega Photo Meme Mazes originated from the Mega Photo mobile app, which features a variety of bizarre and psychedelic live camera filters. The 'Maze' trend gained significant traction on platforms like TikTok, where users utilize the app's 'trail' or 'distortion' effects to create complex, visual puzzles that viewers are challenged to navigate or 'escape' by following a path with their eyes. Often paired with high-energy or 'phonk' music, these memes play on the surreal and claustrophobic nature of the distorted imagery. They are typically used to represent feelings of confusion, being 'trapped' in a specific situation, or simply to showcase the glitchy, low-budget aesthetic that has become a staple of modern irony-post culture.
