The 'Run!' meme gained massive popularity primarily through Vine and later TikTok, often utilizing the dramatic beat drop from the AWOLNATION song of the same name. It typically features a person or creature in a precarious situation, which abruptly cuts to them fleeing just as the intense electronic music hits and the word 'RUN' appears on screen. Beyond the specific song, the concept has evolved into a universal shorthand for a sudden, comical need to escape a disastrous choice or a physical threat, becoming a staple of short-form video and image-based internet humor.
