The term 'Menty B' is a colloquialism for a 'mental breakdown,' popularized by Gen Z and Millennials on TikTok and Instagram to cope with stress through self-deprecating humor. By giving a serious psychological state a cute, catchy nickname, the internet has turned burnout and anxiety into a relatable social currency. The Menty B meme usually depicts the irony of maintaining a curated aesthetic while internally spiraling, often used when minor inconveniences feel world-ending. It serves as a modern linguistic tool for venting about mental health in a way that feels less heavy, more approachable, and community-oriented.
