"I know that feel, bro." - Emily Ulsh


Do you ever hear a story that brings back memories, and sympathize with that feeling? If you answered yes, then you know that feel, bro. This meme was born in 2010. This meme is also referred to "feels" or "That feel when" (TFW). This bald, expressionless head and torso was created by "Voyack".  Reddit says "Feels is a term that is used when dealing with situations that evoke extreme emotions such as sadness, shock or anger.".
 

 

This meme gained popularity over the course of some time through many different forums, including international ones in Italy and Russia. 4chan and Reddit eventually got the "feels" on their hands and about a year later. Since then, it has spread to Tumblr, IGN and its very own Facebook page.

This meme doesn't strictly stay colored inside the lines of just "I know that feel" or "The feels" but as well as plastering the bald man and straight face on bodies of appropriate photos. Simply just using the word "Feel" you are implementing or representing this meme in some way.

I like this meme because it's so simple, and the one word "feel" is iconic and a staple for this black-outlined face. I only use it ironically.

Here are some examples:





My version of the meme:
