A Kyle, in derogatory slang, is an online caricature of a white boy referenced as an antagonistic character in memes. Similar to how Karen is used online, "Kyle" jokes parody a certain kind of person with a set of characteristics one associates with the name; in "Kyle's" case, these are characteristics of an angry, video game–playing white male teenager. Kyles are often depicted drinking energy drinks of the brand Monster Energy.^[1] They're also depicted as die-hard fans of Five Finger Death Punch.

History[]

Kyle memes began on Twitter in 2015, then spread to Reddit, leading to the creation of the /r/Kyle subreddit in 2016 and the expression "Kyles going to Kyle." They include exercising poor judgment, punching holes into drywall and drinking Monster energy drinks.^[1]
