The 'Snapchat Kill Guy' meme features a distorted, wide-angle selfie often created using Snapchat’s built-in lenses, characterized by a looming, menacing expression. Originating from the depths of ironic meme culture on platforms like Twitter and TikTok, the image is frequently used to represent a reaction of extreme annoyance or a mock-threatening response to someone's opinion. It perfectly encapsulates the 'cursed image' aesthetic, where the low quality and digital distortion add to the comedic effect of being ‘ready to kill’ the mood or the person mentioned in the caption. Since its rise in the early 2020s, it has become a staple for dark humor and exaggerated reaction posts.
