The 'Wake Up Filthy' meme originates from the producer tag of F1lthy, a prominent member of the Working on Dying production collective. Gaining massive popularity through its heavy usage on Playboi Carti’s 2020 album 'Whole Lotta Red,' the tag has become synonymous with aggressive 'rage' beats and high-energy hip-hop. In internet culture, the meme is often used to signal a sudden shift in energy, the start of an intense musical drop, or to satirize the dark, chaotic aesthetic of the modern underground rap scene. Whether it's paired with distorted visuals or used as a punchline for being startled awake, the meme remains a staple for fans of the 'Opium' record label aesthetic.
