Meme lore
What is the First World Problems meme?
First World Problems is a classic image macro that uses an intensely distressed facial expression for complaints about relatively minor inconveniences. The contrast between the emotional reaction and the trivial problem creates the joke.
Origin & history
This template uses a close-up stock-style photograph of a woman crying and holding her forehead. It circulated online as a reaction image and was paired with captions about small frustrations made possible by comfortable modern life, such as weak Wi-Fi, an inconvenient coffee order, or a nearly empty phone battery. Exact image provenance is unclear.
