My Lore Is Just Sadness

my lore

A dark, moody montage shows several men looking devastated, crying, covering their faces, and sitting alone in dim rooms. The caption “my lore” jokingly presents their accumulated emotional suffering as if it were an elaborate personal backstory, making the clip a self-deprecating reaction for oversharing trauma or feeling mysteriously tragic. The montage is set to boy pablo’s soft indie-pop song “Tkm,” whose dreamy, melancholic music makes the exaggerated sadness feel both romantic and funny.
