Scarfolk is a fictional town in North West England created by designer Richard Littler, portrayed as being trapped in a recursive loop of the 1970s. The 'Scarfolk Council' meme aesthetic draws heavily from the era's unsettling public information films, occult fascinations, and draconian local government messaging. It serves as a darkly comedic satire of bureaucracy and social control, often featuring absurdly grim warnings or surreal civic duties. Users leverage this template to mock modern political absurdity or to create 'hauntological' art that feels both nostalgic and deeply disturbing.
