The 'ME!ME!ME!' meme originates from a surreal music video collaboration between producer TeddyLoid and singer DAOKO, released in 2014 for the Japan Animator Expo. Animated by Studio Khara, the video follows a protagonist consumed by his obsession with anime and figurines, specifically the titular character, Meme. Its striking visual style, featuring neon colors and fluid animation, quickly went viral across platforms like Tumblr and Reddit. While the original video serves as a critique of otaku culture and isolation, the meme is frequently used to represent sensory overload, chaotic energy, or the feeling of being mesmerized by catchy music and vivid animations.
