The Plapjak meme is a derivative of the extensive Wojak universe, specifically gaining traction on imageboards and social platforms like X around mid-2023. It features a simplified, crudely drawn Wojak character in a specific rhythmic pose, typically used to depict intense enthusiasm, obsession, or 'down bad' behavior toward a specific archetype of person. The term 'plap' is an onomatopoeic slang word associated with the sound of the action portrayed. While the imagery is often used for ribald internet humor, the template has evolved into a broader tool for expressing overwhelming focus or the singular pursuit of a goal, frequently appearing in memes about niche dating preferences, hyper-fixations, or ironic self-deprecation.
