The 'My PFP' meme explores the humorous and often self-deprecating gap between a person's digital avatar and their actual physical reality. Usually formatted as a comparison, it features a highly curated, cool, or aesthetic profile picture contrasted with a chaotic or less-than-glamorous photo of the user in real life. This trend gained massive popularity on platforms like Twitter, Discord, and TikTok, where niche communities use specific characters or 'vibes' to represent themselves. It has evolved into a way for internet users to mock their own online posturing while celebrating the relatable messiness of being human behind the screen.
