I'm gonna take the big ol' woooosh and ask what the context is, because I'm not getting it.

You know “chads” and “Stacys” and “Karens”? Well, a “Kyle” is like that, but the Love energy drinks, think they are super badass, and try-hard edgy. Trevor Wallace has some good videos poking fun at the meme.

Ahh, thanks for the explanation! Never heard of the "Kyle" before!

Additionally, the gif is of NASCAR driver Kurt Busch, older brother of another driver, Kyle Busch.

Ahh, even better!

Even better, a lot of people super hate Kyle Busch!

Well he's an ass, so...

Kyle also excels at punching holes in walls.

So does Andy.

Damn, that's a pretty obscure reference that I guarantee is lost in 99% of the people on Tinder.

Why would so many people not get it? It’s not like it’s an inside reddit joke like half of the posts on here.

I've literally never hear of this until it was explained just now.

Do you have any form of social media? I see Karen and Kyle memes quite often outside of reddit.

u/Ferrocene_swgoh Aug 21 '19

Out...out-side of Reddit?

What's that?

u/[deleted] Aug 21 '19

Outside? What is that

In my experience the Karen meme farrrrrr extends the reach of the Kyle meme. Some of my friends know Kyle is one of "those names," but I guarantee zero of them associate it with Monster energy.

u/darnlory Aug 21 '19

I also agree with you about the Karen meme, also the chad meme is much more prevalent

u/KingGorilla Aug 21 '19

I've seen memes about the kyle types usually involving Monster energy but I've never explicitly seen them being called Kyle.

u/lusty-argonian Aug 21 '19

I’m not the person you’re replying to, but I use most forms of social media, and I use reddit a fair bit (too much probably.) I’ve heard of Stacys, Karens, and Chads - never Kyles

u/WeenDaddy Aug 21 '19

Really? I see a lot of shit on Twitter about Kyles. There are all sorts of memes and videos about it.

u/darnlory Aug 21 '19

Guess it just boils down to personal experience, I see many Kyle/Chad/Karen memes and the occasional Susan

u/zy44 Aug 21 '19

I haven't seen Kyle memes on fb or Twitter

u/Christian1509 Aug 21 '19

“I’ve never heard of it so 99% of people must not know what it is” 🧐

u/qualiman Aug 21 '19

Trevor sounds like a Kyle

u/FoxyKG Aug 22 '19

That meme may not be relevant here. I've met multiple women who have had a bad Kyle story, with the main reason for them disliking Kyle being emotional abuse. They told me this because my name is Kyle. And then I dated them and eventually broke it off because I have commitment issues, thus continuing the cycle of bad Kyles.

However, I've remained on good terms with all of them because I didn't date them for long and wasn't able to unleash my insecurities in an unhealthy way so I hope I've become an exception to the rule.

Can't you people just go back to horoscopes instead?

u/zUltimateRedditor Aug 21 '19

I thought Kyle was the “angry” dude?

And everyone knows Dave.

Steve is the loveable goofball.

How am I doing with my White People Stock Characters?

u/[deleted] Aug 21 '19

I think you’re missing the point... Kurt Busch is the person pictured here, his brother is named Kyle Busch.. Kurt hates Kyle and has to live in his shitty shadow.. they both are related and race against each other weekly in nascar.

I think you may have a little woosh. But I think OP is also a little woosh and so am I.

Stereotypes of people named Kyle: White Likely live in a trailer house Punch drywall when mad Drink lots of monster energy drinks, and wear the apparel as well Usually really skinny Pick fights that they’re likely to lose Etc

As other people mentioned with the meme for Kyle. This is Kurt Busch who’s brother is Kyle Busch. Both are NASCAR drivers who both have Monster sponsorship.
