Meme lore
What is the What Do We Want Protest Chant meme?
What Do We Want is a four-panel call-and-response meme based on the familiar protest chant structure: one character leads with a demand and a group echoes the energy. Caption the crowd's demand and deadline on the right panels while the left leader shouts the questions.
Origin & history
The visual depicts a crudely drawn, highly expressive cartoon protest scene arranged as a repeated four-panel grid in the style of Hyperbole and a Half. It is commonly paired with the verbal rhythm “What do we want?” followed by a demand and “When do we want it?” followed by a deadline, although the supplied image contains no baked-in wording. Exact provenance is unclear.
