The Ohio meme portrays the U.S. state as a dystopian, surreal, and monster-filled wasteland where the laws of physics and logic no longer apply. It evolved from 'Wait, it’s all Ohio?' into the broader 'Only in Ohio' trend, fueled by TikTok and social media users who paired bizarre or glitchy footage with descriptions of daily life in the state. Often accompanied by the song 'Swag Like Ohio' by Lil B, the meme transforms the mundane Midwestern landscape into the internet's favorite fictional purgatory. It serves as a humorous catch-all for anything unsettling, weird, or eldritch found online.
