The 'Why Are You Dressed Like That?' meme typically features a scene of a formal family gathering where one individual stands out due to their unconventional, often gothic or hyper-specific attire. It is frequently used to represent the dedication of fans dressing up for niche events, such as movie premieres, video game releases, or concerts, while their confused family members look on. The meme highlights the humorous contrast between mainstream social expectations and the passionate subcultures that fans proudly display. It serves as the ultimate relatable template for anyone who has ever felt like the 'black sheep' during a holiday or formal occasion.
