The "distracted boyfriend" meme, originating in 2015, quickly became one of the most recognizable internet memes. The meme features a stock photo of a man looking at another woman while his girlfriend looks on disapprovingly. The image became popular for its humorous portrayal of distractions and shifting attention. It is often used to depict a person, group, or concept ignoring or being distracted by something more enticing. People began adding their own captions, typically to represent relationships, priorities, or societal trends. The meme's versatility and the humorous nature of the scenario led it to become a viral staple in meme culture.
