deep

Remember being an emo tween/teenager? Unfortunately, we do too. Listening to sad songs on repeat. Thinking we our first school relationships were "forever." Posting attention-seeking messages to social media, hoping someone notice all the pain. While the depression was often very real, there's a painfully cringey- and amusing - aspect to people who wear their hearts on their sleeve on the internet. Don't believe us? Scroll down and brace yourself for some serious discomfort.

We honestly can't tell if these 'deep' memes are satirical or totally serious, and you know what? We don't care, because they're pretty funny. They're the sort of memes that you laugh at, not with. The kind of cringe that could've been posted by either your boomer grandpa who thinks technology represents the fall of civilization, or the emo, 14-year-old version of you. Scrolling through these memes is like watching a movie so bad, it's kinda good.

Some are deep and philosophical while others, like these, are totally pointless and really serve no purpose other than to make you say, "huh." However, we're sorry if these do keep you up at night. They probably won't, but still.
