Void Memes emerged as a subgenre of surreal and dark humor, characterized by their descent from standard meme formats into chaotic, distorted, and often terrifying visuals. They frequently utilize high-contrast imagery, glitched audio, and nihilistic themes, often featuring iconic characters like the Trollface or SpongeBob undergoing a horrific transformation. The trend gained massive traction on platforms like Reddit and TikTok in the late 2010s, tapping into 'weirdcore' and 'dreamcore' aesthetics. These memes play on the fear of the unknown and the breakdown of reality, serving as a creative outlet for digital existentialism and cosmic horror storytelling.
