The 'POV Coming of Age' meme taps into the collective nostalgia for indie cinema and the 'main character' aesthetic popularized on platforms like TikTok and Instagram. It typically features a scene—often involving a long car ride, a sunset, or a contemplative look out a window—paired with indie-pop or alternative rock music. The meme highlights the feeling of being in a pivotal life moment that feels scripted for the big screen. It is widely used to romanticize everyday life, satirize the dramatic tropes of teenage dramas, and celebrate the bittersweet transition into adulthood through a stylized, cinematic lens.
