The 'X If He Was Alive Today' meme, often paired with the phrase 'I'm Quite Fond Of,' is a popular internet format that juxtaposes historical figures with absurd modern-day trends. The humor stems from the visual contrast of a formal, often black-and-white portrait of a person like Abraham Lincoln or George Washington being edited to include modern items like gaming headsets, vape pens, or streetwear. The accompanying text uses archaic, overly formal language to describe an obsession with niche internet subcultures, brainrot memes, or specific snacks. This format exploded on social media platforms like Twitter and TikTok, serving as a satirical take on how historical icons might have succumbed to the same digital distractions as modern society.
