The 'RIP, They Would've Loved' meme is a popular internet format used to humorously speculate on how a deceased celebrity or historical figure would react to modern pop culture, products, or internet trends. The humor arises from the absurd juxtaposition of a serious historical figure—like George Washington or Marie Antoinette—with a chaotic or niche modern phenomenon like TikTok dances, energy drinks, or specific internet slang. Originally gaining traction on Twitter, the meme uses the language of a sincere tribute to deliver surreal comedic commentary on the generation gap between the past and the hyper-specific trends of the present day.
