The 'Where Y'all Sitting' meme, also known as the 'Lunch Table' meme, first gained viral traction on social media platforms like Twitter and Instagram around 2017. The template features a bird's-eye view of a school cafeteria where various tables are assigned specific identities, such as music genres, movie franchises, or subcultures. It challenges the viewer to make a definitive social choice, often sparking heated debates or humorous takes on community hierarchies. This meme format taps into universal nostalgia and the relatable social pressure of the school lunchroom, making it a versatile tool for ranking anything from sports teams to niche internet tropes.
