Starter packs (sometimes also called starter kits) is a meme that's been around for nearly a decade.
It usually comes in a multi-panel photo set, illustrating the archetype of a celebrity, company, or subculture through their clothing choices and other consumer products, very similar to the classic "steal her look" fashion guides.
One of the reasons why the meme is still going strong is the subreddit of the same name. With 2.5 million members and thousands online at any given moment, there's a constant stream of new content.

Reasons To Live Starter Pack
From 'things I thought were huge problems when I was a kid' to 'me cooking anything', the amount of themes you can see on r/StarterPacks is amazing. However, niche posts usually don't get that many upvotes. "More relatable topics tend to get more likes as people can say 'Hey! That's me!'" the moderators of the subreddit told Bored Panda in a previous interview.
2020 has been a really good year for the community—the subreddit has grown by about 500k new members, and the moderators hoped it would reach 2 million in 2021 but it has surpassed that mark by an additional 500k!
"The Covid-19 Pandemic had a lot of people stuck at home and on Reddit. People wanting to look at memes about their current situation could be a major contributor [to r/StarterPacks popularity]," the moderators explained.

"Things That I As A Kid Thought Are An Everyday Threat" Starter Pack
The starter pack meme really took off in 2014 when Twitter user ItsLadinaPlis posted the 'I date black guys' version of it.
According to one moderator of the sub, WaddlesJP13, that single post spawned a bunch of other starter packs, basically turning it into a household meme instantly, and leading to the creation of many forums and pages dedicated to the format, just like r/StarterPacks. "Somehow, the format [and the subreddit are] still really popular," they wrote. Pretty good for a meme!

"Why Can't I Find A Gamer GF" Starter Pack
Allison B 3 years ago
Being a girl who's played games since the early 90s I can tell you that's so very true. Not all gamers are like that of course in fact the majority isn't. But the ones who complain about not having a "gamer gf" definitely are. They're usually the same ones who whine and shout when a 33 year old woman beats them.

If you gift me one of these I will find you and I will hurt you. Give me glitter, unicorns, cute dresses, hair styling stuff, scrunchies, hydroflask stickers, etc.

most conventional stores' men's fashion goes from the incredibly boring dark colors, to the most ridiculous, ugly ones like a shirt with a fish pattern, there's no in between. I don't know how women feel about their fashion, I mostly struggle to find the right size when buying for my mom or sister, but usually feel they have a better selection of things. Nothing beats kids fashion color palettes though. I wish clothes were as cool when I was a kid.

I've got unicorn print dungaree shorts for my holiday and I pretty much wear them constant through the summer. My favourite. My husband searches for kiddy print clothes in adult sizes 😐

Yeah, like there's this generic 'Man'. who will smile happily when you give him these, like the man in the catalogue demonstrating them. I don't think I know any men who'd be happy to get any of these.

This is what I see every year when trying to shop for my husband. He’s a cryptid fan, so this year I got him a 6’ 7” Bigfoot silhouette to go in the back yard (it can be staked or attached to a tree). He’s not going to be expecting that. Don’t worry - I got him some useless stuff, too!

“Sorry, English Isn’t My First Language” Starterpack
Enuya 3 years ago (edited)
Well, many language teachers (at least in my country) are like: "So you misused future perfect continuous? Your grammar skills are terrible and you'll be a laughing stock if you try to really communicate in English." It took me years after finishing school to stop apologizing for my grammar and I'm still doing this when I write anything longer. Some things just stay in your head.
