TheSlap.com Status Update Parodies originate from the fictional social media website featured in the Nickelodeon sitcom Victorious. On the show, characters would post status updates—often accompanied by a 'Feeling:' tag—which would appear as colorful on-screen overlays during scene transitions. In the late 2010s and early 2020s, internet users began reclaiming the aesthetic for ironic purposes, using the template to post absurd, existential, or niche emotional states. The meme thrives on nostalgia for the early 2010s teen drama era while poking fun at the overly dramatic nature of social media status updates in the pre-TikTok era.
