The Purple Drank, also known as Lean or Sizzurp, meme refers to a concoction originating from Houston's hip-hop scene in the 1990s. While it began as a serious element of rap culture popularized by artists like DJ Screw, it evolved into an internet phenomenon characterized by surreal edits, purple-tinted filters, and the 'I Love Lean' catchphrase. In early 2022, the meme saw a massive resurgence on platforms like TikTok and Discord, often featuring characters like Barney the Dinosaur or the 'Purple Guy' from Five Nights at Freddy's. It is typically used in a shitposting context, emphasizing vibrant purple aesthetics and absurd humor.
