Where does the “Loneliness Party” meme come from?
The phenomenon emerged in early July 2009 on Baidu Tieba, a popular Chinese forum platform. A low-resolution webcam image shows a man eating noodles. The accompanying text states: 'What this brother eats is not noodles, but loneliness.' This phrase went viral quickly. Some link this post to the temporary suspension of World of Warcraft in China in June 2009, though this remains uncertain. The formula inspired a humorous model widely used on various forums and BBS sites. Users adopted terms like 'group,' 'religion,' or 'party' of loneliness to identify their belonging to this collective mood.
