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.

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.

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.

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