Know Your Meme

Know Your Meme (KYM) is a website and video series that researches and catalogues internet memes, viral videos, and related phenomena. Entries typically attempt to identify early examples, peak popularity, and derivative templates.

Iceberg documentation

KYM's "Iceberg Charts" entry is a frequently cited tertiary source for the meme's early Imgur and Reddit circulation (including a May 2011 website iceberg) and its later spread on imageboards. The entry repeats a Freud iceberg attribution that does not match Freud's published writings; articles here follow the correction on Iceberg chart. As with any meme database, primary posts should be preferred when expanding articles.
