Dank Memes

Gen Z Slang

Definition

Intentionally absurd, ironic, and niche internet memes—often surreal, edgy, or low-fi—valued for offbeat, self-referential humor.

Examples

"My feed is just dank memes so absurd and low-fi they loop back around to being hilarious."

"We bonded over trading dank memes—niche, surreal jokes that only like five people on Earth would get."

"That brand tried to post dank memes, but the forced irony made it extra cringe instead of funny."
