The Siamés 'The Wolf' meme originates from the 2017 animated music video for the song of the same name by the Argentine indie-pop band Siamés. Produced by the animation studio Rudo Co., the video features a striking monochrome aesthetic and depicts characters being relentlessly pursued by shadowy, lupine figures representing their internal demons and addictions. In internet culture, the visual has been transformed into an object-labeling meme where the wolf represents an inescapable problem, a looming responsibility, or a self-destructive urge, while the fleeing characters represent the person trying to avoid them. Its popularity persists due to the high-quality animation and the universal relatability of the 'chase' dynamic.
