The 'Sweet Dreams (Are Made of This)' meme stems from the 1983 synth-pop hit by the Eurythmics, known for its haunting melody and surreal music video. While the song has always been a cultural touchstone, it became a massive meme through video edits, most notably the 'Quicksilver' kitchen scene in X-Men: Days of Future Past, where time slows down to the beat. Online, the meme is used to accompany slow-motion footage, surreal imagery, or to ironically highlight 'dreams' that are actually mundane or bizarre. Its versatile rhythm and existential lyrics make it a favorite for creators looking to blend nostalgia with modern internet humor across platforms like TikTok and YouTube.
