Kummemania

Kummemania is a fictional term that has gained some traction in online communities, particularly those related to internet culture and meme dissemination. While not a formally recognized psychological or sociological phenomenon, "Kummemania" is often used humorously to describe an excessive or obsessive engagement with a particular meme or piece of internet content. This can manifest as a tendency to constantly share, reference, or create variations of the same meme, even after its peak popularity has passed. The term itself is a portmanteau of "kummem" and "mania," suggesting a frenzied or overly enthusiastic obsession.

The origins of "Kummemania" are difficult to pinpoint, but it likely emerged from the rapid evolution and short lifespan of internet memes. As new memes rise and fall in popularity with increasing speed, individuals who become particularly attached to a specific meme might be described as experiencing "Kummemania." It is generally understood as a lighthearted observation rather than a serious critique, acknowledging the sometimes-cyclical and repetitive nature of online humor. The phenomenon is often discussed in online forums, social media comment sections, and meme-focused subreddits, where users might jokingly accuse each other of succumbing to "Kummemania" when a meme is overused.
