The 'Promposals' meme subculture parodies the elaborate, public, and often pun-heavy invitations high school students use to ask their dates to the prom. While the concept of a grand gesture isn't new, the internet era transformed these moments into a specific genre of content characterized by handmade cardboard signs and over-the-top themes. The memes typically highlight the absurdity of the puns, the extreme pressure put on the recipient, or the hilariously awkward execution of these events. Since gaining traction on platforms like Vine, Instagram, and TikTok, the Promposal meme has become a seasonal staple, serving as both a celebration of youth culture and a satirical look at the 'main character energy' often required to pull one off.
