The 'Tomato Town Massacre' meme originates from the 2018 song 'Chug Jug With You' by Leviathan, a parody of Estelle's 'American Boy' that became a massive viral sensation on TikTok and Twitter in early 2021. The lyrics describe a successful Fortnite match where the narrator achieves ten kills and decimates the 'Tomato Town' location. The meme is typically used with mock-seriousness, presenting the fictional video game event as a tragic historical disaster or a moment of extreme, unearned bravado. It has evolved into various 'breaking news' formats and ironic history edits, blending 2010s gaming culture with modern absurdist humor.
