The 'Unravel / Donny's Theme' meme centers on the opening theme song of the anime Tokyo Ghoul, specifically the dramatic transition that evokes a sense of deep emotional turmoil. While the song has been a staple in anime communities for years, it saw a massive resurgence on platforms like TikTok and Instagram through creator Donny Savage, who used it as his signature 'pain' theme during relatable moments of despair. The meme typically features a character or person staring blankly or looking devastated as the world around them falls apart, symbolizing moments of sudden realization, heartbreak, or overwhelming stress. It has evolved into a universal shorthand for 'suffering in silence' while an internal anime monologue plays in the background.
