The Types of Headaches meme is an exploitable image based on a medical diagram that illustrates the physical areas of the head affected by Migraine, Hypertension, and Stress. The meme format typically features a fourth panel showing the entire head glowing red to represent a specific, often humorous, source of extreme frustration or annoyance. First gaining traction in late 2017, the meme became a viral sensation on Reddit and Twitter as a way to mock fandoms, political takes, or video game struggles. Its enduring popularity stems from its simple visual language, allowing users to instantly communicate that a specific situation is more painful than any actual medical condition.
