About

Me Dying So The Main Character Learns / Has Something is a TikTok meme trend where users act as if they're dying under captions imagining themselves as an important NPC character at the start of a video game who dies in order to let the main character learn or obtain something vital to completing their quest, a common trope in video games often related to environmental storytelling. The trend was popularized on TikTok in mid-October 2023 and is set to the "Rapp Snitch Knishes" instrumental by MF DOOM.

Origin

On October 3rd, 2023, TikToker[1] @cayden_lol posted a video where he pretends to die set to "Rapp Snitch Knishes" captioned, "Me waiting to die until the main character shows up so I can give him my final words," garnering over 42,500 views in a week (shown below). This is the earliest known example of the meme.

Spread

The meme spread on TikTok throughout October. On October 11th, 2023, TikToker[2][3] @roguemdf posted two versions of the meme, garnering over 1.2 million views and 1.3 million views respectively in a day (shown below, left and right).

Later that day, TikToker[4] @imnotbalake posted a version of the meme about dying with a legendary weapon, garnering over 316,000 views in a day (shown below).
