There are a few days to go until the spookiest holiday of the year, but folks are already been dressing up as their favorite memes for Halloween.
One of the more popular meme templates for Halloween meme costumes emerged on X last year but blew up this fall. “I Hate Gay Halloween…” is the start of a catchphrase shared as a caption alongside photos of Halloween costumes worn by members of the LGBTQ community, often super niche and born of stan Twitter or stan culture in general.
Sometimes, "I hate gay Halloween" is omitted and meme posts just start with "What do you mean you're...", marking another catchphrase used as a template for Halloween costume posts across X.com in 2024.
Many of the memes are quite topical and broad, referencing Olympics memes such as Raygun, *that* Australian breakdancer, some are vintage (like Saddam Hussein's hiding place), and some are hyper-niche, understood by only the most chronically online and brainrotted among us.
