The **Sad Hamster** meme originates from a low-quality, zoomed-in image of a **hamster with a slightly downturned mouth and teary-looking eyes**, giving it a **mournful expression**. The image first appeared in **early 2020s meme culture**, often used to represent feelings of **sadness, disappointment, or quiet suffering**. It became especially popular on **Twitter, Reddit, and TikTok**, frequently paired with captions about **relatable struggles, minor inconveniences, or emotional moments**. The meme’s appeal comes from the hamster’s unintentionally dramatic look, making it a perfect reaction image for **exaggerated emotional distress** while still being cute and humorous.
