Emotional Damage Meme: What is Making it Trend on Tiktok?

The year is about to end but it seems we will be seeing one more addition to the meme calendar of 2021.

Memes have become a basic existence of our life. Every now and then a new meme trend pops up on the internet. Some of them disappear in a few days and some leave their mark for a long while. Some even end up becoming a part of our persona.

The very recent trend was the helikopter helokopter trend that sure made some noise on the internet. Pun intended!

Today we talk about the newest meme trend going around, the EMOTIONAL DAMAGE meme.

What Is the Emotional Damage Meme About?

Some of you might have already come across an Asian guy saying “Emotional Damage” at the end of a video either on YouTube or TikTok.

Well, that is basically what the meme is. It starts with a random funny but witty video and it ends with the Asian guy saying “Emotional Damage” in a weird but slightly amusing tone.

Most of these videos are somewhat about the same thing. It usually starts with one person saying something that is slightly triggering or just plain infuriating and another person then goes and says something witty that roasts the hell out of the first person.

And then enters our Asian dude with his trendy dialogue saying emotional damage in his catchy tone. Despite being called emotional damage; the dialogue basically is being used to define a sort of embarrassment the first person goes through because of the second person’s comment.

It isn’t as dark as it sounds. It’s just funny.
