The '>tfw too intelligent' meme, often referred to as '2smart,' features a series of Wojak illustrations depicting a character with an increasingly enlarged, pulsating, or cosmic brain. Originating on imageboards like 4chan around 2016, it serves as a satirical commentary on individuals who believe their superior intellect prevents them from enjoying popular media or 'normie' culture. It is frequently used to mock pretentious fanbases and those who post pseudo-profound, pseudo-intellectual takes online. The visual progression from a normal head to a brain that encompasses the universe highlights the absurdity of such self-importance.
