New York: WW3 might be trending—but leave it to Gen Z to turn a global crisis into a masterclass in dark humor. TikTok, Reddit, and X (formerly Twitter) are overflowing with memes about air raid sirens, disappearing drafts, and existential dread served with a side of Sephora hauls. If doomscrolling were an Olympic sport, Gen Z would win gold—but with a meme over their head and a matcha in hand.
Here are the most viral, hilarious, and painfully real WW3 memes people are sharing right now:

It’s Not Just Jokes—It’s Survival
These memes might look chaotic, but they’re also deeply human. People are not making light of war—they’re finding light in it. It’s how they process fear, absurdity, and the feeling that everything’s always on fire.
It’s not apathy. It’s coping—with Canva and WiFi.
