Distressing memes have been gaining some popularity lately. We can't say we enjoy looking at them, but they have an addictive quality we just can't scroll past. Humans as a species love to be distressed. As for why, no one knows. Scary and cursed content just appeals to some dark part of our minds. We love to be creeped out, and since we love memes so much, it was obvious the two were destined to combine at some point. We can't stop enjoying distressing memes in about the worst possible way someone can enjoy something intentionally upsetting. You'll laugh, but then see these images again in your nightmares. Or you'll just stare transfixed at the computer screen, feeling a little sickened by the dark jokes people came up with. Take a look at these memes to see what the distressing meme phenomenon is all about.
