Originally began as a meme about an upper middle class soccer mom with a short, angled, and layered haircut. A petty tyrant, she was the bane of service and retail employees everywhere and would demand to speak to the manager over even the slightest mistake. During the 2020 Coronavirus pandemic, the Karen meme exploded in popularity. In this case, she didn't flex her tyrant tendencies by demanding to speak to the manager. Instead, she scolded people for not wearing masks and called the police on her neighbors for not social distancing. On social media she urged people to stay home and shared TikTok videos of dancing nurses.
