The 'Take Me Home, Country Roads' meme is based on John Denver's iconic 1971 folk-country anthem, which has become a staple of internet culture. The meme often features characters singing the lyrics with exaggerated emotion or chaotic energy, a trend that saw a massive resurgence after the song was prominently featured in the 2018 announcement trailer for the video game 'Fallout 76'. It is frequently used to express a deep, sometimes ironic, sense of nostalgia for home or West Virginia, and often overlaps with other musical memes like the 'Screaming Cowboy' (Big Enough). Whether it's used for wholesome singalongs or absurdist humor, the template captures the universal urge to belt out the song's legendary chorus.
