What is Dank? Dank Meaning Explained
memes that are intentionally bizarre, niche, or absurd — but funny
Dank is old-school internet slang that stuck around. It’s used to describe wild or low-res memes with insane humor. If it makes no sense but it slaps? It’s dank.
“Dank” originally meant high-quality (like good weed), but the internet flipped it to mean cursed, ironic, or bizarre memes — especially those with wild or surreal edits. Reddit and YouTube Poop were the original breeding grounds. By the late 2010s, it became meme shorthand.
