The Origin Of Wojak Memes
Wojak has a wild history, beginning as a simple MS Paint-style drawing, and later maturing into one of the internet’s most emotive players. The meme’s roots can be traced to a picture called “Feels Guy,” which appeared on a Polish imageboard in the late 2000s. The hand-drawn, bald, droopy-faced man became an instant icon for feelings of nostalgia, sadness, and social awkwardness. By the early 2010s, it had migrated to sites like 4chan and Reddit, where it was remixed into infinite variations.
Wojak’s many faces made it an ideal vehicle for internet humor, spawning iconic iterations such as Doomer Wojak, Boomer Wojak, and Chad Wojak. They each reflect different personalities and internet subcultures, which has made Wojak more than a meme — it’s a bit of its language.
