There is something very comforting about the fact that some experiences are common enough that they constitute a sort of shared frame of reference. For women, that might be the much encompassing but hard to quantify concept of girlhood.
The “Crampsugh” Instagram page is dedicated to relatable, hilarious and unhinged memes about the girly side of life. So get comfortable as you scroll through, upvote your favorites and be sure to share your thoughts in the comments below.

I mean have you met men whose favorite sports team just lost or who just got rejected?
In today’s online world, it seems like every demographic, from pet groomers to pensioners, has carved out its own corner of meme culture. Why? At its heart, a meme thrives on shared experience. When a joke, image, or catchphrase perfectly captures the frustrations of 20-somethings juggling rent and side gigs, it spreads like wildfire through their social feeds.
Shift the lens to new parents up at 3 AM with teething twins, and suddenly baby wipes, sleepless eyes, and “adulting done wrong” become the fodder for another wave of in-jokes. Each group faces its own daily absurdities and pressures, workplace quirks, generational clashes, lifestyle demands, and memes give voice to those little battles.
After all, no matter how niche, nearly every group of humans will create in-jokes, references and share certain preferences and experiences. High-schoolers riff on the horror of group projects, gamers mock the agony of loading screens, retirees celebrate the bliss of guilt-free naps. Memes are just the 21st century outlet for this, but you can see similar behavior in group chats, forums or even lunchroom conversations.
I am a short guy, but I've never had any issues getting dates, so my standards are a bit higher. I couldn't care less about nails or b***s or whether they shave their body hair. I want a woman who genuinely likes me for the person I am, not for the material goods I can provide for them. A person who is kind to the people in their lives, and has empathy for others. Somebody who has interests they love to tell me about, and don't mind me telling them about mine. Also, someone who isn't a bigot (living in the United States and this is surprisingly harder to find than I'd like to believe). Edit: lol, b00bs is evidently a scary word
By wrapping observations in punchy graphics or pithy one-liners, these memes send a clear message: “I see what you’re going through, too.” In essence, they function as digital group therapy, where a perfectly timed cat GIF or self-aware comic strip can replace a thousand words of commiseration.
Platforms amplify the trend. Instagram’s hashtagged meme pages let teens discover content tailored to the arcane rules of their favorite shows, while Facebook groups host entrepreneurial memes for small-business owners navigating tax season. Even LinkedIn sprouted its own breed of career-themed humor, giving Monday-morning warriors a place to guffaw at office buzzwords and endless Zoom calls. It’s an acquired taste.
There are 100 - 400 billion stars in our galaxy alone. If there would not be some kind of life out there, that would be strange? Also "There are an estimated 100 billion galaxies in all of the observable universe." - Wikipedia.
Because these niches live on distinct platforms or sub-communities, each demographic builds its own humor ecosystem, complete with recurring templates and evolving in-jokes. Language and aesthetics play a key role, too. College students remix vintage cartoons with ironic fonts and neon filters, while hobbyists, as an example, pair grainy camera phone shots of woodworking mistakes with deadpan commentary.
I volunteered regularly at my friends work. She worked at a vets office. If I had nothing better to do I would go with her. I picked up a lot of p*o, but got to give a wolf a bath once!
Someone learning a second language might bond over memes about mispronunciations, and health-food enthusiasts swap recipes turned absurd by avocado overload. The specific look and feel of each meme page, its color palette, meme format, even the slang, signals membership in that cultural club, reinforcing identity through visual shorthand. Remember, these memes might not even come from dedicated “meme pages,” sometimes forums and online groups will just have a few memes sprinkled in here and there among more serious posts.
Finally, there’s the simple joy of finding your people. Scrolling past generic mass-market humor can feel lonely, but landing on a meme that nails the soul-sucking tedium of naming Instagram filters or the tiny triumph of finding matching socks and shoes, that is community. It sparks likes, shares, and comments that build digital friendships across time zones. Before long, what started as an off-hand joke among friends grows into a dedicated page or group, complete with moderators, themed days, and loyal followers.
I have a wedding to go to mid-June that I am preparing myself for now. That will be it for socializing this summer.
Float in the ocean, look pretty, and sting anything that gets too close.
In a landscape crowded with content, demographic-specific memes carve out space for authenticity. They remind us that no matter how diverse our backgrounds or routines, there’s power, and plenty of laughs, in knowing someone else “gets it.” Even these memes, directed at the female experience, still have enough shared humanity for most folks to enjoy them.
This comment is just here so people don’t believe the comment below me
LOL! Yes it's true. Me: "My dad called, apparently brother is in the hospital." GF: "OMG, why". Me: "Oh, I thought it was weird too, but he called because he forgot the wifi password I set up for him". GF: "NO!! Why is your brother in the hospital?!?". Me: "He didn't say". GF: "?!?!?!"
Oof, wait til you hit perimenopause. I'm on about 4 hours per month of sane.
And if someone have a car, is it then the license plate, colour of car, brand? 🤔😸
I have a girlfriend who carries a notebook in her bag at all times to record whatever messed up sh*t comes out of her best friend's mouth, then they're read back a year later out of context. It's awesome.
If your leather couch is peeling, it's not leather. In general leather furniture is no fun, but faux leather furniture is on another level.
I have anxiety but none of this, with me it is for specific reasons. Oh sorry I am old I wrote the additional 3 letters on the w.
I get that this is a joke, but sometimes we feel sad or upset and we don't have a reason. This happened to me the two days ago. My GF told me she was just feeling sad, she wasn't sure why, but wanted to lay in my bed and watch tv on her phone for the rest of the night. She didn't want to go back to her place, but couldn't be 100%. I have kids, and they have to eat, and do homework, etc. So I couldn't join her. But I asked if there was anything I could do, I brought her some dinner, and some tea. The next day she felt better. We're all people, and sometimes we feel bad without understanding why. It's okay. BUT!! We need to also be honest with ourselves and each other. If my girlfriend had just gone to bed and refused to interact, I would have been suspicious and anxious. She told me she was feeling down, needed to go to bed, and didn't know why. She communicated her needs, and allowed me to meet them as best I could.
As a woman, the majority of these memes have no relevance to me or to any woman I know. Must be a US/generational thing.
I assure you it is not a US thing. I was equally baffled.
