Skeletinen

Skeletinen is a fictional character that originated in early 2010s internet culture. The character is characterized by its minimalist, almost abstract skeletal depiction and a perceived air of existential dread or dark humor. Its origins are often attributed to a series of crudely drawn comics or image macros shared on platforms like Tumblr and Reddit. The simplistic design of Skeletinen, typically consisting of a few lines to represent bones, contributed to its viral spread as it was easy to replicate and adapt. The humor associated with Skeletinen often plays on themes of mortality, nihilism, and relatable everyday anxieties, presented in a deadpan or absurd manner. While not a character from a specific mainstream media franchise, Skeletinen has become a recognizable meme, appearing in various online communities and discussions related to dark humor and internet subcultures. Its enduring appeal lies in its simplicity and its ability to resonate with a sense of shared, albeit often bleak, human experience. The character's name itself is a portmanteau of "skeleton" and "kitsch," further emphasizing its ironic and often humorous nature.
