Doge

About

The Doge meme is an internet sensation featuring a Shiba Inu dog, typically with a puzzled expression. It originated from a 2010 photo of Kabosu, a Shiba Inu owned by Japanese kindergarten teacher Atsuko Sato. The meme gained popularity in 2013 on platforms like Tumblr and Reddit, where users added multicolored Comic Sans text to represent the dog's internal monologue in broken English. Phrases like "such wow" and "very amaze" became iconic, capturing the meme's humor and charm. The Doge meme's impact extends beyond its comedic value. It inspired Dogecoin, a cryptocurrency launched in 2013 as a parody of the Bitcoin craze. The meme's popularity has also influenced other internet trends, including variations like Cheems and Swole Doge. Its cultural significance was recognized as one of the top memes of the 2010s, showcasing its enduring presence in internet culture. The meme's versatility and creativity have allowed it to remain relevant even after its initial peak.
