About

Coworker Memes, also known as The Type of Video Your Coworker Shows You or Coworker Core, refers to a series of memes and tweets that build on the "coworker" stereotype. The memes label movies, TV shows, music and videos, among other interests, as media that one's coworker would enjoy, likening the coworker's taste to being normie and cringe. Notable labels used in the trend are "coworker movies," "coworker phone wallpaper," "coworker face" and "coworker videos." Memes about so-called "Coworker Core" surfaced en masse on Twitter / X in 2023, continuing into early 2024. "Coworker" became a derogatory slang term from the trend used similarly to "normie."

Currently, the first-known viral post about being subjected to a coworker's bad taste is a tweet shared by X[1] user @danCLYNE on January 10th, 2020, who captioned an image of a man being hypnotized with, "Me being forced to watch a YouTube video a coworker thinks is funny," gaining over 2,800 likes in four years (shown below).

Tbh, the main genre of "coworker" content is just ultra-normie shit. It's not offensive, it's just lame, so it's not going to really be against any rules to send it to co-workers or show it to them on lunch break.

If it comes to more offensive/controversial stuff, I think a lot of the time that will be tolerated even if it makes people uncomfortable either because the uncomfortable person doesn't want to make a fuss out of it to HR and be seen as whiny or annoying, or because it's a small business that doesn't actually even necessarily have a HR so firing someone and trying to hire someone new is a pain in the ass and they will only do it as an absolute last resort.
