The 'Speedrunning' meme draws its inspiration from the competitive gaming subculture where players attempt to complete video games as quickly as possible. While speedrunning has existed for decades, it became a massive meme trope in the early 2020s, fueled by the rise of 'Minecraft Manhunt' videos and high-stakes speedrun attempts on Twitch. The meme typically features a 'World Record' timer, frantic movement, or high-energy music. It is widely used to describe someone finishing a task with absurd speed, failing a relationship in record time, or humorously applying gaming logic to real-life situations like 'Speedrunning getting banned from a subreddit.'
