Born from the internet, the phrase 'TFW NO GF' was originally used online to describe a lack of romantic companionship. Since then, it has evolved to symbolize a greater state of existence defined by isolation, rejection and alienation. The meme's protagonist, 'WOJAK,' has become the mascot to a vast online community consisting of self-described 'hyper-anonymous twenty somethings' and 'guys who slipped between the cracks.' TFW NO GF asks: How has the zeitgeist come to bear down on a generation alienated by the 'real world'? Meet the lost boys who came of age on the internet- places like 4chan and Twitter, where they find camaraderie in despair.—SXSW Film Fest Official Program (2020)
