How Did Among Us Become a Meme?

Ever wondered why your social media feeds are flooded with Among Us references? Let’s dive into how Among Us became a meme.

Among Us did not just capture our hearts with its gameplay; it also took over the internet in meme form. But how did this happen?

The Short Answer

The game’s popularity soared in 2020, thanks to streamers and its engaging gameplay. Its unique terminology, like ‘sus’ and ‘impostor’, naturally lent itself to meme culture.

Additionally, the simple and expressive character design made Among Us perfect for creating relatable and humorous content that quickly spread across the internet.

Turning Gameplay into Internet Gold

Among Us offers a perfect storm for meme creation. Its gameplay involves deception, mystery, and a lot of finger-pointing, which mirrors the dramatics of internet culture. Memes about being ‘suspect’ or ‘impostor’ became a new way to describe dubious online behavior.

The game’s visuals are simple yet iconic. The colorful crewmates have a minimalist design that is easy to replicate and modify, making them ideal stars for all kinds of creative memes. This accessibility helped Among Us memes to spread far and wide, appearing on various social media platforms and even in mainstream media.
