School shooter memes, often categorized under the 'Quiet Kid' or 'Edgy' umbrella, represent a controversial segment of internet dark humor that gained traction in the late 2010s. Typically featuring tropes like Foster the People's 'Pumped Up Kicks' or the 'Reach Into Backpack' scenario, these memes use satire to address social isolation and school environments. While frequently polarizing, the meme subculture uses these templates to highlight awkward social dynamics or the shock humor prevalent in online communities. They often circulate on platforms like Reddit and 4chan, evolving from simple image macros into complex video edits that play on the contrast between innocent situations and sudden, dark punchlines.
